Talk:13 Ghosts

The Ghosts
I removed the section listing the ghosts due to the fact that it relied on an IMDB message board as the only source, which won't do. Surely if this info is correct, there's a better source for it. 199.126.137.209 17:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Good call; forums aren't reliable anyway, but IMDb's forums are also "recycled" (old threads removed). From TCM.com, there's this following list, which was (according to TCM) printed in Castle's autobiography. I think this makes it quite interesting.


 * 1) Screaming woman.
 * 2) The clutching hands.
 * 3) The floating head.
 * 4) Flaming skeleton.
 * 5) Emilio with cleaver in his hand.
 * 6) His unfaithful wife.
 * 7) Her lover.
 * 8) Hanging woman.
 * 9) Executioner and severed head.
 * 10) Lion.
 * 11) Headless lion tamer.
 * 12) Dr. Zorba.
 * 13) Benjamin Rush.
 * This is the same list Svenghoolie gave when he showed it on 3/9/24

bad reviews
This is a film for which there are plenty of amusing reviews, which should be searched for. A Baltimore reviewer remarked that he wished, in addition to the red and blue filters, the viewer had included a black filter, so he didn't have to watch the film.

Margaret Hamilton In-Joke
Although her “smirk” at the end of the film is noted, it’s not explained “why”. Through out the film, Charles Herbert refers to “Elaine” as a witch several times. ( An obvious nod to Margaret Hamilton’s “Wizard of Oz” role.). So, as the film closes, and she picks up a broom … it’s acknowledging her old role, but, also suggests she actually might be a witch! Typical William Castle schtick! 75.106.32.81 (talk) 00:36, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
