For a movie with a pretty terrible plot. The set design, effects, and make up are incredible. Not to mention Matthew freaking Lillard is in the movie. What a legend.

[@katarhall3047]

I think that's basically what sold it. Practical and digital effects, combined with the sets, Lillard's acting, and the overall "fun" of the movie. It's horror but it obviously is more of an action/survival type of movie.

[@ashleighstratmann7783]

Fun fact for 13th Ghost fans: Up until the uncle's final demise the First Born, the Torso, the Bound Woman, the Withered Lover, the Pilgimess, the Dire Mother, and the Great Child were harmless ghost (at least the Great Child was Harmless unless he thinks his mother is in any danger). It was only the Torn Prince, the Angry Princess, the Hammer, the Jackal and the Juggernaut that pose the real threat. But I guess since the uncle capture them and bound their souls against their will the ghost harbor enough rage against him that when release even most of the harmless ghost took it out on him.

[@hunterfox6176]

I loved the detail with Matthew Lillard's character, how throughout the film he's erratic and jumpy, prone to outbursts, and suffers a handful of mental breakdowns because of his visions. He literally never sits still because of his abilities. Then he dies. And when we see his spirit, he's finally calm and has a level expression on his face. All his life, his powers have pretty much tormented him, forcing him to see other people's trauma and share in it(which was presumably worse with the spirits) and now that he died, he's finally at peace. I like that detail with his character and Lillard performed it all very well

[@Lolitabanana3]

Lillard is a treasure. He's a great guy in real life too, very down to earth and kind.

I love Found Flix because he discusses the deeper themes and symbolism in the stories of films. Dead Meat, on the other hand, goes into the technicality of the set design, actors, and production aspects. It's always a treat when they both cover the same film and I can have my cake and understand it too.

[@jackychang9148]

It's like one of those movie tropes about a pair of friends who hang out together. One of science, Dead Meat, and one of magic, FoundFlix.

[@bearflipstable8365]

yes, ever since james started going into the technics of the films, which i believe was around when he covered the final destination films? talking about notable special effects, people and overall production, his videos have increased in entertainment and fascination. its fun to watch the kill counts, but its also fun to learn about the hard work behind the films. it also takes the edge off the scary movie, seeing the joy and fun that was had behind the scenes. for those of us that arent _that_ fond of extreme gore or seeing people brutally murdered, its nice.

*FUN FACT* A year after this film, Matthew Lillard starred in live-action movies *_Scooby-Doo_* (2002) and its sequel *_Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed_* (2004) as Shaggy Rogers. Coincidentally, there was a Scooby-Doo show involving thirteen ghosts called *_The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo_* with Vincent Price voiced warlock/magician Vincent Van Ghoul. Interestingly, the first movie produced by Dark Castle Entertainment (and prior to Thir13en Ghosts) is _House on Haunted Hill_ (1999), a remake of the 1959 original _House on Haunted Hill_ which starred Vincent Price.

[@eviltom17]

Horace "The Breaker" Mahoney was his name in life. He got the nickname 'The Breaker' because he was a serial killer who broke people into pieces with his bare hands. When he was captured, he also broke his handcuffs. Then of course... he also... breaks Dennis. Guy sure does love to break things!

I agree. During the whole movie, I kinda just wanted to now more about Dennis Rafkin. It's too bad he sacrificed himself far away from the Eye of Hell; he could have easily been the Thirteenth Ghost, freeing the ghosts he helped to capture, as well as his new friends.

[@jameswest6232]

This is one of those horror films that would have probably been better as a TV series instead. Gives the backstories of the different ghosts a chance to take center stage and stick in your head. You could even have Arthur be recruited by his uncle during the hunts as a way to help with his financial troubles. Builds up the twist between him and Denis and makes the betrayal of his uncle actually have some weight.

[@ladyyuna2000]

Interesting facts about Thirteen Ghosts (2001) In the movie, the characters need special glasses to see the ghosts. In the original 13 Ghosts (1960), viewers needed special glasses to see the ghosts. This is one of the few details from the original that was kept. Herbert Duncanson, who plays The Hammer, was not originally hired as an actor for the film but as a stand-in for reference and test shots. When the original actor cast for the role never showed up, he was given the role of that ghost as a last-minute replacement, as there was no time to hold auditions for a recast. Duncan MacLeod's dragon katana from Highlander (1992) appears as one of the swords in Cyrus' collection. John DeSantis (Juggernaut) was gifted a finished life cast by the production after filming wrapped up, as a memento.

[@void5695]

[@prince_chavv02]

It's because the movie was already too long by itself upon completion and the 3 scenes of exposition were long enough without exposition about each ghost. I feel like a remake would do a better job balancing all of it, but this is also one of those movies where a remake would be very hit or miss with watchers who know the original movie.

The special features explaining the ghosts made this a favorite of my friends and I. I think we watched their stories more then the full movie. We memorized the stories because the ghost were the real stars! I could see them making a limited series of thirteen episodes exploring their back stories with the framing story of their capture as ghosts bringing them together. You could explore the characters like the uncle and his nephew more with the framing story and the thirteenth episode would be the house/machine with less running around and a better pay off since it is what they were working on the whole time.

[@isabella9845]

I LOVE vertical dissections because the cross sections are always so intricate and well made and not to mention aren’t as common as horizontal dissection and those are so much easier to make in comparison so a nice clean vertical cut is a nice way to make it memorable and it was good on the producers to come up with the idea and for suck talented makeup and effects artist to bring it to fruition

[@Jacqthepossposs]

This film is a good example that a script can be stupid, but the end result film can still be absolutely thrilling. EDIT: How in the jolly blue fuck is this my most liked comment???

[@kyrauniversal]

Nah, I actually like the script. Matthew Lillard made it work. It isn't perfect, but as an emotional empath myself, I can tell you that Lillard was Extremely successful in capturing someone dealing with that except twice as difficult and dangerous to his health. The complete force of everyone around you, for years just saying that you're imagining it, when you literally can get yourself killed by the amount of fear that surrounds you. That, is true representation.
