13 Ghosts   1960     2 stars    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.
