13 Ghosts 1960  N/R, 85 min.
Genre: Horror / Thriller
aka: Thirteen Ghosts
Director: William Castle
Cast: Charles Herbert, Jo Morrow, Martin Milner, Rosemary DeCamp, Donald Woods, Margaret Hamilton, John Van Dreelen, William Castle, Roy Jenson, David Hoffman, John Burnside
When Dr. Zorba dies, his nephew inherits the big, old house. What the nephew (Donald Woods) and his family (Rosemary DeCamp, Jo Morrow, and Charles Herbert) discover when they move in is that the doctor had a collection of ghosts; he is now part of that collection. The ghosts go on a rampage after the family arrives, and one family member is doomed to die so that there will be 13 ghosts. Director William Castle came up with another gimmick for theater-goers: red and blue glasses to view (or not to view) the ghosts. Margaret Hamilton shines as the creepy housekeeper who came with the mansion.

Genre: Adventure
Director: Jack Sher
Cast: Kerwin Mathews, Jo Morrow, June Thorburn, Lee Patterson, Gregoire Aslan, Basil Sydney, Charles Lloyd Pack, Martin Benson, Mary Ellis, Peter Bull
This version of the Jonathan Swift classic tale is entertaining, as the shipwrecked Gulliver (Kerwin Mathews) ends up in the small, small world of the Lilliputians followed by visiting the land of Brobdignag, home of the giants. Most of Swift's biting satire is missing, though some is retained. The young ones should like it.
