Alder and Dash are the main antagonists of the 2006 film Casper's Scare School, and two major characters in the TV series of the same name. They are the evil executioner brothers who run the Scare School, whose job was given by Kibosh, the leader of the Underworld, as punishment for being friendly in the past, as well as Casper, who is the student they despise the most, for having the same behavior they had in their childhood. They take on the role of main antagonists in the film and in the first season of the series, but are replaced by Thatch in the second season.
They are voiced respectively by Jim Belushi - who also portrayed Reginald the Rat King in The Nuttiest Nutcracker, the Mall Santa in Jingle All the Way, and Frank Lloyd in Retroactive - and the late Bob Saget - who also portrayed Glenn Cheales in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - in the film and Graham Thomas and Robert Williams in the series. Both are later voiced by Matthew Geczy in season 2.
Description[]
Alder and Dash are some sort of purple crawling monster, being merged together, with both being separated only by their heads; Alder has a shorter head with a flat top and is bald, while Dash has a longer head and with orange side hair and some wrinkles under his eyes, the two also have light brown eyes. Their attire consists of a purple leather cloak with a red interior and a white shirt and black ties, with Alder's tie being a longer one and Dash's tie being a bow. Both have pointy teeth typical of monsters, and also wear distinctive headgear; Alder wears a small red hat with what appears to be a bell and blue glasses with green lenses, while Dash is seen wearing a graduation cap. All your limbs in their body constitute several crawling tentacles.
Alder and Dash's species have not been shown to have any real powers or abilities, but both are known to have control of every limb of their bodies except their own heads.
Personality[]
The duo's main trait is their great obsession with evil, being very mean, threatening and rude to almost everyone around them, including their students and even their teachers, taking advantage of their power as principals to intimidate them. Another example of his evil nature is his desperate desire to punish any of his students, regardless of the size of the situation, which shows their sadistic nature.
Their addiction to evil also makes them always choose and go for the "bad" side of things, wanting their school to look as dirty and unpleasant as possible; sometimes it gets to the point where they themselves are confused by this vision, wondering if they think a certain bad thing is good or not. Just as they despise their students, they are despised by them, because of their completely executioner and authoritarian behavior.
Overall, the two are similar in terms of personality, but there are still some traits that set them apart; Alder is more laid back, incompetent, immature and somewhat "stupid", although he is still smart enough to come up with ideas that might be approved by Dash, who is almost as mean and authoritarian as he is, as well as being more serious and evil, to the point of suggesting that they come up with a plan to end Kibosh, and also proves to be much more competent and intelligent than Alder. The only difference already shown in their tastes and interests is that Alder likes magic and Dash on the other hand likes music, which was revealed by his aunt and uncle in the movie.
In "Rich Kid Ra", they, along with Thatch and his clique, manipulate Ra, treating him with more respect, to take possession of his riches, so much so that they begin to totally destroy his room with the intention of rebuilding it. la with more expensive things before they even get Ra's money, which shows that they are also quite greedy.
Despite everything, the two have at least shown themselves to be fair and competent in relation to their job as a principal, rewarding students who passed such a task given to them and ensuring that everyone succeeds in scaring as well as wishing their school pass Kibosh's assessment in "The Day The Professor Croaked", to the point where they allow one of their teachers to mock themselves to satisfy Kibosh. It is notable that her malevolent and mean-spirited behavior has diminished considerably in the second season, where her antagonistic role is replaced by Thatch.
Early Life[]
Alder and Dash were totally different in their childhood, being very friendly and cheerful, who liked to spend their time having fun with their aunt and uncle's songs and tricks. They were the exact opposite of what they are now and quite similar to Casper, whom they greatly despise for his friendly demeanor, which shows them to be hypocrites as well. Their behavior in the past eventually led to their uncles being punished to the Valley of the Shadows by Kibosh, who also later left them in the position of principals at Scare School. All these happenings regarding his family are probably the reason why they hate Kibosh.
It is not known for certain when their current executioner behavior began to take hold of them, but it can be assumed that their uncles' punishment and Kibosh's warning encouraged them to start going down that path.
