Story Synopsis:
Surely, this was fun back in the ‘60s. William Castle’s gimmick-flick 13 Ghosts came with Ghost Viewer/Ghost Remover glasses (one pair comes with the DVD, but you can be certain that there is an order form to purchase more so the rest of your family can see the ghosts too). Cyrus Zorba (Woods) and his impoverished family get the shock of a lifetime when they inherit a huge, ramshackle house from his strange scientist uncle. Their new house comes complete with a witch, er housekeeper (Hamilton...yup, the wicked witch from The Wizard Of Oz) and 12 horrifying ghosts. As the terrified family soon discovers, these haunting ectoplasms include a decapitated man, a wailing lady, and a flaming skeleton, who are held captive in the eerie house and must find an unlucky 13th ghost to free them!

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a dated black-and-white picture that should be quite satisfactory. Images are generally sharp, often with nicely rendered detail. The gray scale is well balanced with a good gradation of visual information between the deep blacks and fairly bright whites. The source element is inundated with film grain, scratches, and flecks of dirt and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 2.0 soundtrack is big fat mono. When Pro Logic®-decoded, the audio is properly placed in the center channel. The vintage audio sounds nicely restored and free of distracting background noise. At reference level, there is the tendency for the sound to seem strident and forward at times. (Perry Sun)
