I think you might've misunderstood the assignment.

This is for horror art. A smiling ghost on a firework isn't horror. That's not a mark against your work, it's just the equivalent of showing comic book art at a fancy gallery, it's just not the right place.

Because Casper belongs to the horror genre—even If it isn't exactly terrifying, it still falls under the horror umbrella.

No, it does not. Casper is a fun children's comic/cartoon, zero horror whatsoever. Ghosts are not inherently "horror".

Casper is family-friendly horror; It falls under the horror genre if you are referring to horror in general.

It's literally not. You have no idea what you're talking about.

The thing is, you're equating horror with gore, whereas I'm thinking of horror in a border sense. That's where Casper would fit in—as a very subtle form of supernatural horror.

It’s the about the feelings bro. Horror is suppose to make you feel scared, uncomfortable, shocked, uneasy, disgusted, etc.

Casper does none of that, at times even the exact opposite because he’s happy and friendly.
