Episode #827: Thir13en Ghosts (2001)
🕑 Added 2025-10-21 04:00:04 +0000 UTC“It’s kind of a ghost-Jurassic Park opening!” - Steve
On this week’s episode, our 2025 Halloween Spooktacular continues as we dive into some early-aughts horror while chatting about the 2001 remake, Thir13en Ghosts! First off, how incredibly stupid is this official title? Why did they need to give those ghosts dumb ghost names? What kind of sick person would actually be excited to live in a house like this? And why did the producers think EXTREEEEEME William Castle remakes were a good idea? PLUS: If you used ghost magic to psychically absorb the entirety of IMDb, would the website’s shoddy functionality make you implode?
Thir13en Ghosts stars Tony Shalhoub, Embeth Davidtz, Matthew Lillard, Shannon Elizabeth, Alec Roberts, JR Bourne, F. Murray Abraham, and Rah Digga as Maggie; directed by Steve Beck.

I used to have a terrible job and every October the Spooktacular would make it a little more bearable. Now I’m kinda feeling that old charge from these episodes helping me muscle through work cause it’s my first day back from two glorious weeks of vacation I spent at a film festival and catching up on the WHM Spooktacular that I missed, and it feels like coming home from a hard day and someone made you soup from scratch.

I can still feel it when the main character got a finger cut off while it was in that floor grate.

it must have cost a fortune to heat that house

Yeah, movie’s not great but Lillard rocks here.
