How this film didn't spawn a franchise is beyond me ...one of the most underrated horror movies ever
Agreed
Easily one of the best movies back in tha day! Watched it all tha time!😊😊😊
Still my favorite movie ever! That and The Others
Yaaasssssss
I know right!!!!
I've been saying this for years that either Netflix, or some other streaming service should do a Thirteen Ghosts miniseries, with each hour-long episode completely dedicated to a ghost's back story, leading up to the events of the 2001 film... That'll be awesome!
You should create it dude
@@LEXRAPSthere’s always one douchebag.
Awesome idea
Facts maybe we should brinG it to Netflix?? I jus want ah baby cut 5%
Read a book
In the mad scramble for creation, how did this not become a mini series?
There's 13 stories to tell here...
They just need to make one episode. You know which ghost I'm talking about! 🍒🙈
A season per ghost would be awesome then maybe another movie or exclusive season of Cyrus and his journey through life up until the movie and the same with his partner and the woman a lot of missed money here that’s 13 to 15 seasons possibly more depending on how much of a hit it is
The ‘ghosts’ were really good in this. Great special effects.
Saw this movie in the theater back when it 1st came out with my sister. She drove to my house and then we went together in my car to the theater. It scared the crap out of both of us. We were both in our early 20s. When the movie ended we were both in our seats with our legs curled up to our chest as if to keep something from grabbing them from underneath. After we drove back to my house she decided to sleep over that night since she didn't want to be in her car, by herself, in the dark to get home. We both slept in my bed together that night as well. It's 1 of my favorite movies and memories with her even if it was goofy for us to be like that at the time lol.
LOL! As an 17yr old I went to see a double feature of horror movies about animals, with a boyfriend. Scared me so bad, I slept with mom that night as dad was shift working.
She grumpily told me the next day that all nite long I kept nudging her & saying, "C'mon, we have to go", "We need to leave" and all I remember was the bear tearing off the front wall of our two-story building in my dreams.
Needless to say, bear was _much, much_ bigger in my dreams and proly would've made a good movie too!
My very first horror flick was at an old barn on the side of a mountain, for Halloween. Donuts, apple cider-- CHURCH activity, so it couldn't be too scarey, right?? WELL, yes and no...if you were a grownup, it was pretty tame. Laughable. But for a kid with virgin eyeballs, it was all kinds of wrong. "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte," with Betty Davis. Slept with my light on for days. Wasn't the same afterwards.
It's a shame that everybody just accepts that the horror movie threshold is simply an inevitable rite of passage everyone naturally goes through at some point growing up. I'd love to live in a world where innocence was more highly prized and safeguarded. Violence ruins everything forever, and there isn't anything entertaining about it. No socially redeeming value to justify its existence, that I can identify.
Nice story I wish I was closer to my sister.
My horror movie was about a werewolf and his transformation that frightened me. Was too old to sleep in the same bed as my parents so instead they had their bedroom door open and I had mine open so I could hear them. I have only seen it one more time, and wondered why I had been scared, since they at the time couldn’t put makeup like hair on the actors face while being filmed they instead had him walk from room to room and it faded to black when he entered a doorway. And so on until he was in full werwolf makeup. It was a black and white movie. I want to watch it again but I cannot remember the name of the movie.
Womp to the womp
This movie would make for a FANTASTIC game.
I agree
Definitely.👍
I believe there is a PC mod, idk if it's still around
Phasmophobia is very close to it. LOTS of jumpscares.
Should have to work for the bad guy; & have to collect all the ghost at their death locations
im 41 now and this movie STILL terrifies me. It was sooooo creepy and it was a refreshing horror film, it still is to this day.
@@angelfrankenfine I'm a horror fanatic and almost exclusively watch horror with a few exceptions and this I think is a totally underrated movie and one of my favorites
The Black Zodiac
1. The Firstborn Son, Billy Michaels
2. The Torso, Jimmy "Gambler" Gambino
3. The Bound Woman, Susan LeGrow
4. The Withered Lover, Jean Kriticos
5. The Torn Prince, Royce Clayton
6. The Angry Princess, Dana Newman
7. The Pilgrimess, Isabella Smith
8. The Great Child, Harold Shelburne
9. The Dire Mother, Margaret Shelburne
10. The Hammer, George Markeley
11. The Jackal, Ryan Khun
12. The Juggernaut, Horace "Breaker" Mahoney
13. The Broken Heart, Arthur Kriticos
For those who want the long story short.
I still don't understand why he survived though.
@@Snuset why who survived?
@LeeClaxton sorry, I wasn't paying attention to those!
@@Snusetwho?
Dont worry guys i got this @Snuset "he" doesn't... unless you mean arther, then its because he was protected
I absolutely love all the Lore behind this film. How the design of the "machine" even had its own backstory.... The Ghosts and their tragic lives....
How it was all connected through the zodiac.
Great Work.
This movie should be a guide of how to do a remake. They came up with their own spin but kept it similar to the original.
Excellent point! I love both films and how different they are from each other.
@@Duuhvis I'm not a fan of remakes or reboots but most of the William Castle films that have been remade have been done right.
This movie is in my top ten favorite horror movies. This background on the ghost has been the most informative one I’ve seen to date
13th Ghost was a great flick.
The cast was great all the ghosts were perfect.
Sad part is they could have done 11 films about how each of these ghosts came to be and even show them get their revenge, and their capture.
@@fido2644 on the DVD in the special features each ghost was explained it was pretty much the exact same as this video
The Jackal still scares the 💩 outta me!
The Torn Prince is terrifying!
😂s x, 2
I second that
@@DGsKattKattto me he isn't that scary lol. The hammer and the juggernaut, now that's Wat I call terrifying 😂😂😂
As it should. He was probably if not the worst of them all 💔
The Jackal always struck me as the most interesting character. The little tidbit that he turned himself into the asylum shows, despite his violence and impulses, he must have, on some level, understood what he was doing was wrong and he wanted to be changed. I have no doubt he was suffering some sort of mental illness. If he was born today, he might have been able to get proper psychiatric help, but because of the time, the doctors could do little more than lock him in a cage. Then the fact that he chose to die in the fire shows he may have even felt remorse, or at the least, just an escape from the painful world.
The Jackel was always my favorite ghost out of the Black Zodiac
That madlad the Jackal is the most terrifying ghost in the movie! Still get jumpscared and hibbies-jibbies when he shows up til now.
My fave was the jackel as well. The most frightening of them all.
It is incredibly interesting yet somehow a little weird how people and/or commenters attempt to feel sorry for The Jackal defending his demise lol. Yes he's probably one of the scariest looking but he's never had or would've had remorse for anyone or anything. He's literally an evil sociopath.
@@KendallRicki Nope. Has shown remorse. Not a psychopath or sociopath.
When I first saw this remake I wanted to know more about the ghosts. I hope one day somone makes a prequel to 13 Ghost of the ghosts lifes before they died.
That is such a great idea!
I would argue that Dennis became the 13th ghost when he sacrificed himself to save Arthur.
A sacrifice of pure love. ❤❤❤
That is actually a really good point
😮 Wow, great point!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ And he also has points for hunting goats with peoples uncles.
theres 2 things i think are important to remember .
1 . sacrifice has been used in storys for years befor even the making of the storys
this movie is inspired buy .
the more famous example is knights and giving there life to protect the weak .
the hero story as well someone giving there life to protect an innocent from
harm .
2 . the other part people tend to overlook is the glass the house is made of .
Dennis told everyone the glass was made as a way to block ghosts .
well Arthurs wife was likely an innocent ghost that likely withoyt the chant
would have moved on to whatever afterlife after passing away .
now seeing as the house is suposed to keep spirits in the house what do you think would happen if you get killed in the house .
this may mean the lawer and the girl that where killed may also be in the house
but they didnt turn up agine so the people making the movie any extra ghosts in the story .
i for one think this could have made a great show showing them hunting the dangerous ghosts and fixing the house because someone had to have been in charge of making the house so that would have been fun to see
If that were true, then the eye would have opened. They were lying to Arthur about saving his kids and shutting the machine down. If sacrifice shuts down the machine, why would Cyrus waste so much time and money just to shut it down before even using it?
American horror story needs to do this as a season with 13 episodes
Please no. That show stopped being good long ago.
@@user-rg2hj7ex6p Agreed.
NO.
Naw, they would make it super gay
Dude, no. They'd butcher the whole thing
Under-rated??? Dude!! That's like one of the BEST ghost movies ever!! N Ghosts Of Mars.😊😊😊❤❤
I totally get where you're coming from! "13 Ghosts" has amazing ghost designs and a really unique plot. It might have been underrated because critics didn't love the story at the time, but it's definitely a visual treat and has gained a cult following over time. Me included.
I had the pleasure of watching this in theatre. The big screen made it so intense. Still a movie I enjoy. And if you haven't seen it yet, Ghost Ship is another movie directed by Steve Beck.
This is the best ghost vs humans movie imo.
Naw but was one the new production firms better films. Among gothika ghostship house on haunted Hill etc
Imortar bastset
Idk the live action Casper was really good....
This movie made me realise your never too old to leave the light on after watching horror movies
I always wished that they would have made a prequel to tell the backstorys of all the ghosts that we didn't get to see the backstorys to. Especially the Jackal...
I was definitely way too young to watch this film when this came out but I was always a big fan of horror by that age glad to still be seeing people talk about this film
My mother used to tell me that they were angry because they didn’t get all the way to heaven.
You know, I never thought of it like that
They were angry because they were first lost and had no guidance, then were kidnapped and imprisoned. I would be angry, too.
At least two of them are serial killers, they weren't going to any heaven.
@wiseguy01 I have an interesting story for you. Two people on the cross right next to Jesus. One was a killer, and one was a thief. The killer repented for his sins, looked towards Jesus, and immediately knew he was looking at his savior. The thief denied Jesus as his savior. The killer was saved, and the thief was not. The moral of the story is that anyone can be saved, but only once they ask for forgiveness AND atone for their sins. All of us are guilty of one sin or another. All of the sins break down to the seven deadly sins. Happiness is only found in godliness and contentment. You can never be content with any of these seven in your heart. Be it Pride, Envy, Lust, Greed, Wrath, Sloth, or Gluttony. Analyze thy demons. Name them... then cast them out. Find Happiness through godliness and contentment, or forever walk thy path alone with none but thy demons to guide you.
Author daughter GETS ON MY FREAKING NERVES IN THIS MOVIE
This one of my favorite horror films of all time. I loved this movie. It was fresh, original storyline and creepy as hell. Such an underrated movie.
This could’ve been a good prequel series too for Netflix making background stories of each ghost
I always found the hammer scarier then the juggernaut. A great movie.
Yeah, the hammer reminds me of candy man. He scares me more
In terms of the scare factor, the Hammer is definitely more horrifying, in both looks and strength, as he harbors an unbridled anger towards people, seeing most likely everyone as the same as those that killed him. However, as for pure adrenaline filled terror, the sheer size and stature of the Juggernaut, along with his menacing appearance, sends shivers down my spine every time I see him.
I’ve been saying forever we want a series on the 13 ghost. Each gets their own season until they become the ghosts they are when they’re trapped in that house. 😅 I need this! 😂😂😂😂
One of my favorite movies and in my opinion one of the main reasons I enjoy the works of the acting talent of Matthew Lillard
I remember watching this on the sci-fi channel when I was a kid. That channel introduced me to so many great films
People need to make a series of this one. Episode 1 'Story' episode 2 ' Catch and Contain' episode 3 background and so on. At the time we had series of anything but not horror. This has so much potential and be better than the rest.
I wanted to watch this film last week but couldn’t remember what it was called, now I know I can watch it tonight, what a brilliant horror film 😂
I'm not very fond of the AI reading and repeating certain lines and statements over and over.
I agree with you 100%. In all honesty, I generally dislike AI voice overs. It really takes away from the emotion that can be delivered by human readers. But that seems the way of the world now, people being too lazy to be bothered to do things themselves anymore. Sadly, it really killed the entire mood of an otherwise great video for me.
I agree, the AI voice over kind of takes away from original pronounced names. Would of been better if someone (not ai), who has actually seen the movie, described everything in this clip. Thanks for the run down of the character though. I absolutely love 'Th13teen Ghosts'! One of the best made movies!. There was actual thought and hard work put into all the designs and costumes. No Green screen needed!
I like them both for their own reasons. Plus I’ve always been a fan of Matthew Lillard.
My new favorite Movie analysis! 💯 i love how you actually broke down each ghost. For some years I’ve said it’s related to the zodiac in some way but i could never find a video analyzing it and nobody ever believed me smh lol
One of the best horror movies I saw it in the movies and have seen it countless times
One of my favorite horror movies. Very interesting backstories and thanks for sharing
Wow! I love this backstory! Thank you! 😊♥️👍🏾
I enjoyed the video. It is cool to learn new things from old movie. Good work on the video.
This has always been my favorite movie since i was a kid. Ive watched it more times than i can count. ❤
It was much better than the original.
Totally forgot about this movie! Good one
This is one of my favorite films of all time😊😊😊. I’m so happy that they’re finally making a tv series to expand on the mythology❤
I kinda wish they’d make a series out of thirteen ghosts. Each episode following the ghosts back story
Definitely should 2024 thirteen ghosts would be soooo dope!
OMG 😱 this was such a great idea for content. Love it!
Love this movie. Definitely underrated. Super informative video. Thanks
Its been my favorite dark castle movie, also i lov it because matthew lillard and Monk actor, also the pawnshop owner in M.I.B.
Monk is Tony Shalhoub
Great video really enjoy your content keep up the good work
This movie scared the crap out of me as a kid
Thank you so much for this. I always wanted to know the backstory of each ghost. They should make an individual movie on each one.
I actually watched this movie when it first came out and I enjoyed it. I'm surprised it wasn't a big success.
I watched this movie in theaters as a kid.... It scared the crap out of me
The first time when I saw this movie with my brother my brother & I we're curious & wanted to know the backstories of the 12 ghosts so now I cannot wait to show him this video & I saw on a post on Instagram that they are doing a remake or reboot of 13 Ghosts into a series & hopefully each episode will show a separate story for each ghosts.
You just going over the dvd extra? Funny how the duel of billy was a shot to back his head.
Also i kinda thought the 13th ghost the guy from scooby doo was the love ghost. Only the man jumped for love destroyed it vs granted power. It granted his wish his daughter and his son live.
One of my fave horror movies. Wow thanks for this video with background on the ghosts.
They need to make a remake of this!!! A TV series would be awesome for Halloween!!!
Great coverage, thanks!
WHY IS THIS NOT A SERIES?!?!
Best movie ever!! I saw it on the theaters when it came out.They were supposed to make a 13 episode miniseries about the back stories of the ghosts. Another great underrated movie is ghost ship!!
Absolutely underrated horror! One of my favs! How this movie didn't take off, still not understanding!
I love the the movie. I am glad the ghosts is free at the end. Good work on the video.
I'm not the biggest on ghost movies but this is 1 of my favorites. I saw it in the theater. There definitely should be sequels
How was this not a game and has been in collaborations yet? It would be cool if they would do a remake.
Way underrated movie for back then, i loved it
actually the 13th ghost was Dennis Rafkin. he was the one that had the psychic connection to the other ghosts. and he becomes the 13th ghost after he sacrifices himself to save Arthur by barricading him behind a glass wall, then being killed by the hammer and the juggernaut. (arthur could of become the 13th but dennis did cuz all it required was that the person willingly sacrifice themselves for someone else which dennis does)
Fact 👍
He didn't sacrifice himself to start the machine, so... no. Cyrus and Selena(?) had a conversation about how Arthur would only be willing to sacrifice himself if he knew his family were in danger. They were clearly lying to Arthur to reach these means. If sacrifice stopped the machine, then why would Cyrus even want to shut it down so soon? It doesn't even make sense, why would Cyrus waste all his time and money just to shut down the machine without even using it?
I remember if you bought the DVD of 13 Ghost on the extra parts of the DVD 📀 it told these stories
i've been looking for this movie for years. i vaguely remember the premise but i remember a house containing a collection of ghost or monsters and i remember being freaked out of that box head
This is one of my favorite horror movies. I wish they had made sequels.
A fucking classic. I love the ghosts appearance!
This movie was good watching over and over again back when I was 18 19 years old
This was a really good movie
This is one my favorite so sad that it's underrated. I still have my cd of this . I love knowing the back stories of these ghosts
This really is one of the more underrated horror movies.
One of my favorite horror movies of all time
This movie is so good and the ghosts are so friggin scary! Especially The Torso and The Bound Woman!!!
Great movie. Definitely deserves a sequel or series.
One of my favorite movies hands down!!
The torso is the one that freaked me out when I was a kid
But when I grew up I grew to like the movie and got interested with the concept
This was one of very few movies where the monsters were more developed as characters than the humans (in stand alone movies; 80s horror series often had developed monsters and cookie cutter victims)
I never knew it was a remake. I LOVE this movie
I never viewed the ending as the ghosts getting to pass on, and I always thought a great follow up would've been Dennis's ghost helping a new psychic learn to embrace their own abilities while tracking down the ghosts and actually helping them/forcing them to pass on. They could've even had the ghosts of the three bad guys acting as antagonists~~~
If it had been a show, it could've had a crossover with Supernatural~😂
This comment probably has already been said but Netflix needs to make a whole anthology series
Amazing movie!! So underated, one of the best ghost movies ever!!
This movie is so good. What horror should be all about.
I find it quite unique how much lore this movie has beyond the basic movie premise and all just based on just the one movie.
Love the glass house. It's the best part of the movie.
This is one of those movies that tanked when came out but is loved years later alot like killer klowns from outerspace
Absolutely love this movie I have seen it a million billion times
I like how this is one of the few horror movies with an actually cool lore
It really is an underated movie
This movie gave me legit trauma when I was a kid. Lasted literal years lmao
Same here
It's the first DVD I own that I was actually happy I had the DVD. There were so many extras on it!
Such fascinating backstories!
So much material here!!!! Netflix make this from the creators of hill house make it happen for us fans
I remember as a kid going to see the movie premiere of this.....i also remember running out of the movie theater when the jackal came.... something about that box on its head and the long nails scared the shit out of me lmaooo
My favorite movie of all time... I could watch this over and over again. I'm pretty sure I could script the whole thing by now haha 🤣
Why dont we have a mini series of this !!!!
I was surprised when I watched the original to see the wicked witch from the wizard of oz in it. The special effects of the time were good but the 2001 film had me freaked out.
I kinda want to see a mini series of the 13 ghost where each episode tells the story of each ghost and how they're captured by Cyrus.
This movie terrorized me I swear
