THIRTEEN GHOSTS (2001) Explained 

Thirteen ghosts was the SHIT back in the day! WAAAAAY ahead of its time in terms of cinematography....

I think they should make a netflix series about the story of each ghosts, right?

This movie scared tf out of me when I was a kid

In hindsight, this movie had a really interesting premise and idea. Would love to see more creative ideas like this in horror

You should have gone through all 13 ghosts and explained their story and name. That was one of the best parts of the movie, the different ghosts and stories.

Not gonna lie the Jackal made me shit bricks when I was a kid.

I loved this movie as a kid

I'm pretty sure Cyrus was actually Arthur's uncle. In the message to the family in the beginning he says 'my nephew Arthur'.

Its a shame that the Academy of Motion Pictures usually snubbs horror films, because for all its flaws '13 Ghosts' deserved an Oscar for best production design/art direction. The house set is incredible.

The cage head one always scared the shit out of me when I was younger

One of my favorite lines in the movie that still cracks me up is; "Did the lawyer spilt?".... LoL 😁😁

My favorite thing about the movie was the little bit about his job in the beginning that comes back later to save the day. That moment when he stares at the whirling discs and then jumps in with his kids? He is a math teacher. He was calculating the perfect moment.

You forgot the best part after the credits where the babysitter quits and walks right on out.

And starring Rah Digga. Dont forget the homegirl like that bro. She's one of the few black people that have survived a horror movie besides busta rhymes and ll cool j

You're wrong it's not his brother. It's his uncle. Hence why in the video Cyrus calls him nephew

The juggernaut was the scariest ghost to me 😱 That man still gives me nightmares

i remember watching the movie when i was a kid. and it would scare the hell out of me, butas i got older and could stomach the movie.. i was interested in the ghost and why were they the way they were. you should do a run down on them in a video 🙂

One of my favorite movies of my childhood! Thanks for covering (and reminding me of) this!

One of the few horror movies to actually scare me back when It came out,I was 7 and holy fuck did it scare me

The first time i saw this movie i looked at my step father, who says it is his favorite movie, and said "i see why you love this movie, its so good! Especially with the twist of dennis being the 13th ghost." Apparently that blew his mind because he had never thought about it like that. I looked online hoping to find someone who agrees and i cant find anything on my theory😓

That movie SCARED THE SHIT OUT ME AS KID!!! I was terrified to take a bath for years after that. I was 9 when it came out...I'm 26 now and it still scares me a lot

Definitely one of my favourite horror movies I saw as a kid.

Shaggy didnt use any power and he got killed. Imagine if he used %0.01 power

It should have been entitled THIRTEEN GHOSTS SUMMARIZED.

One of the few movies that defines Matthew Lillard's range, holy freaking crap. He holds his own in this no problem, which not a lot of actors at the time, or even now could do. Maybe Josh Hartnett is only one of the few others...

Honestly this movie was so odd to me when I watched it a few years ago but there's something charming about. Its One of the few paranormal films I enjoy watching.

I love the character designs of the ghosts in this movie. Theyre very like Tortured Souls the toy line.

I remember when this came out so scary back then good messages hidden inside now that I look back. Great video 💯

I remember begging my mom to let me watch this as a kid because I swore I was totally brave, only to be horrified and have nightmares for weeks lmao

I remember this movie actually giving me a good scare good times and keep up the awesome work!

Shannon Elizabeth tho 😩😩😩💕

This movie was amazing and ahead of its time... I was actually shocked it didn’t do much better because the story was very interesting and the cinematography was well ahead of its time. On another note... I never knew how to feel about the fact they released the ghost back into the world. They may not all kill people but we know for a fact 3 of them [angry princess, juggernaut, The hammer] have killed a lot of people before Cyrus kidnapped them. We then...just let them free into the woods. Lmao god bless anyone who goes into those woods.

You made me remember this movie, it was very long ago (maybe when I was either 7 or 8 years old) when me and my brother and sisters found it when going through channels but we only arrived at the lockdown part. Gotta be honest I thought it was a horror/comedy not a pure horror movie because of some moments especially when the babysitter starts playing around with the disktrack like a DJ and somehow survived at the end, it one of those moments where a black person doesn't die first in a horror film.

This scared me as a kid but i also loved it! Also the house design was beautiful!

I just binge watched a tonne of your videos! Thanks for producing quality content!

What a brilliant and uncomplicated plot summary - thank you so much for the additional information on how it came to be as well :)

One of the only problems I ever had with this movie was with Kalina and Damon's whole "spirit liberator" shtick. Jean is the only spirit I could totally call non-violent; even the ones that seem incapable of harming someone due to the way they appear (The Pilgrimess and The Bound Woman for instance); their appearances are still traumatizing and they still attempt to do harm. Hell I'm pretty sure it's the Bound Woman's voice who's doing most of the luring to get Bobby into the basement. The reason I bring this up is that in the sequence they're introduced; Damon accuses what Cyrus is doing as out and out slavery. I'm not saying Damon is wrong; but we see point blank with Juggernaut, Hammer, Jackal, Torn Prince and Angry Princess act with the intent of doing harm to the living whenever the opportunity is presented. What exactly is the downside to imprisoning them? Using them for the whole Eye of Hell thing= bad, makes sense; but it's the last thing Damon mentions and is instead chastising Cyrus for the imprisonment more than anything and only jumps on the plan when Cyrus and Dennis blow his primary concerns off. Kalina doing the same thing later could easily just be part of her act to convince Arthur to trust her false interpretations of The Arcanum; as she has no issue with Arthur dying to give Cyrus what he wants. And at the end of the movie what do we have? Yes the family survives the ordeal... but there's 11 ghosts right outside with a pretty good reason to hate their entire family; who's to say they actually managed to get home safely at the end. Yeah we see them disappear but ghosts friggin' do that all the time, and, as Dennis himself states: "Oh GOD, I hate it when they do that!! They wait for you to stick your face right up in the glass, and then give you a big fat "BOO"!" Who can say that their disappearing isn't them just waiting for the family to come out of what little remains of the "Ecto-bar Glass" and protection spells making up what remains in the house's foundation to butcher them like cattle? At least 2 of them are freaking serial killers; such a tactic would be right up their alley!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS POST!!!! Big fan of this movie

I just wanted to say I've been enjoying your Channel. Your explanations of movies bring to my attention things that I have missed. Thank you for all your hard work.

This is one of my favorite channels lately. I love your content!

No wonder monk is so OCD I would be too after going through this.

I liked this movie because of the backstory of each ghost. The DVD special features had a “file” on each one narrated by F. Murray Abraham. And as far as horror movies go it’s one of my favorites. Thanks for covering this one, Niyat!

One of the most underrated films ever for sure! It’s one of my sister, mom, and i’s favorites. It stuck with me over all this time. The lore behind it is fascinating and the cinematography plus the designs of the sets and ghosts are nothing short of a masterpiece. MAN I miss when movies were still good a majority of the time. When they were more often about the artistry of film and story. 😭😭

When this came out on DVD they had the Lore of all the ghosts on it.The guy with the cage on his head was the worse of them all.

This film is high on my guilty pleasure list....the ghosts have more depth and character than the living ones do haha.

So it’s like that SCP that’s 3D glasses. Neat.

This movie was so good! I love that they didn’t just go right to remaking the movie from the 50s, they did something new and interesting! The effects were also totally badass!

One of my favourite movies and one of my favourite channels, u rock bro 👍🏻👍🏻🌿🌿

God, this movie used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid

This is the first time I’ve gotten a video notification within a minute of its uploading. Cool.

Love your videos and exploring movies and their lore!!

Found this channel this morning. Been bingewatching ever since 😂

Would you please do a video explaining all the ghost in this movie

Could you do the movie "Stay Alive" next?

Just found out about your channel. Love it, the calm voice narration is good

I love how you put a link to a purchase point instead of just a free place to see the films. It shows support for the things you explain while not feeling like a sell out move.

Great channel ❤ also a horror movie w *Monk?* hell yes!

Cyrus is his uncle

I remember this movie all too well Haha I spent two weeks as a kid trying to draw the jackal. Ddnt want to sleep alone the night I watched it.😂

I loved the back stories they had on the dvd special features

Not the type of shit I should be watching before bed...

This is a pretty trippy movie, very well done video by the way

1:49 look at the face. Pause it and look at the machine you see a face.

Great synopsis of a great horror movie. I remember watching it years ago and your video prompted me to get the blu ray. I think I'll watch it yet again over the weekend.

Absolutely love this movie. It was the first horror I ever watched. Thank you and love the channel!

I'd bet my soul that someone makes a remake of this sometime soon in the future

This movie is very special to me and my sister! Thank you for this video. Made my day :)

Amazing video!!

Man, I remember when this movie use to scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. Thank you for sharing this.

I subbed immediately cause I love horror movies and film analysis. Okay. On to watching the vid.

I have see these vid 3 times... thNk you great explanation of ehe movie!!

This is the first Horror movie I saw with my first Girlfriend so this has a special place in my heart. Its also made me even more interested in Horror movies.

“Their is no such thing as ghosts” Ghosts: try saying that again once your one of us

I would love to see you cover the Daedric lords from the elderscrolls series!

thank you for this great video 😁

I subscribed to your channel and my notification is on 👍

The 13 ghosts of scooby doo?

You should do the horror movie The Cube is a weird movie series and i would love to know more about it

As a kid I thought the juggernaut was the coolest shit ever when his door opened up...he just had a look of “yea, I’M the one you should REALLY be scared of. I don’t need weapons” coolest ghost of them all

Thanks for putting the scene, that taumatized my childhood, in the first 10 secounds of the video

One of my all favs... seen it at least 10 times👏👏👏👏👏

Nicely explained sir. Thanks.

This movie is very underrated, not many people talk about it.

I love that monk was in this movie hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaah 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I thought Arthur inherited the house from Cyrus who was his uncle

Oh my god. I saw this when I was very young. I could never figure out what the movie was because I had only a small memory of it. It pays off binge watching your videos lol.

Loved everything about this movie. Thanks for sharing.

I used to love this movie. Maybe I'll make a video on it too soon.

I remember seeing this in the theater. I always liked this movie. Thank you for the review.

This is movie I watched as a child but couldn’t remember the name for the longest time. Yes now I can rewatch this and relive my nightmare again.

Ah good old Jackal! By far one of my favorite characters and one that I have actually dressed up and received the best scares as. Would love to own a copy of the original movie.

I like taht you did this film. I was too scared to watch it when it got out probably because I was 7 and I forgot about it until now. Thanks

Just a quick suggestion how about dark souls lore? Good uploads man thanks

It would be great if a sequel to "Thirteen Ghosts" was made. This movie was very good and probably can be considered one of the scariest movies ever created. The characters were incredibly terrifying and if the story was more elaborated and the ghosts were re-created in same great detail as before, it would be a box office hit for this era.

This is one of my favorite horror movies. My grandfather and I used to always watch this during Halloween and we still do now even though I'm 27. I feel like a second one should be made maybe involving the freed ghosts or maybe a prequel to this as to how he made the machine and how he got the ghosts and their stories.

Hey netflix released a new show called "the rain" I think you would enjoy it

Can we get 13 ghosts of a scooby doo explained?

One of my FAVORITE MOVIES!! You didn't mention Rah Digga who was awesome! Thanks for the break down!

Such an underrated gem.

I was hoping this was a backstory for each of the 13 ghosts, kind of disappointed it wasn't. So we need someone to make a video that tells the tale for each ghost, and their zodiac significance.
