Gimmick-loving producer William Castle strikes again with this fun haunted-house thriller which invited audiences to find the hidden ghosts roaming about a haunted house through a special process called “Illusion-O” by which patrons could employ a special pair of red-and-blue-colored glasses to detect ghosts on the screen during the film’s color-tinted sequences. [7]

This haunted house chiller is the second feature from Dark Castle Entertainment, the mid-budget outfit put together in 1999 to remake the cheesy horror genre pictures of William Castle by his daughter, Terry Castle, and producers Gilbert Adler, Robert Zemeckis, and Joel Silver. [8]

It follows the remake of another one of Castle’s films, House on Haunted Hill. [4]

Financially ravaged and widowed by a fire that is consuming him with guilt, Arthur Kriticos (Tony Shalhoub) is left to raise two kids on his own: beautiful teenager Kathy (Shannon Elizabeth) and grade school student Bobby (Alec Roberts). [8]

When occultist uncle Dr. Plato Zorba wills a huge ramshackle house to his nephew Cyrus and his impoverished family, they are shocked to find the house is haunted. [5]

As with most of his productions, Castle used a gimmick to promote the movie. [7]

The production design is first rate, but 13 Ghosts is distinctly lacking in scares. [3]

It is a remake of the 1960 film of the same name by William Castle. [...] Arthur (Tony Shalhoub), Cyrus’ nephew, a mathematics teacher whose wife, Jean, died in a house fire six months earlier, later discovers that his uncle has left his mansion to Arthur in his will delivered by Cyrus’ lawyer, Benjamin Moss (JR Bourne).
