S16 Ep827: Thir13en Ghosts (2001)

“It’s kind of a ghost-Jurassic Park opening!” - SteveOn 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.This episode is brought to you in part by Rocket Money.
