The Witches Movie Coven

Thir13en Ghosts and 13 Ghosts!

When Cyrus Kriticos, a very rich collector of unique things, dies, he leaves his house, fortune, and his prized collection of ghosts. This week on the Witches Movie Coven we're talking "Thir13en Ghosts" from 2001. A remake of the 1960 film 13 Ghosts by William Castle, the film stars Tony Shalhoub, Embeth Davidtz, Matthew Lillard, Shannon Elizabeth, Alec Roberts and more. But will it be Wands Up or Wands Down? And How is Richard-Lael and Matthew Lillard related? Come circle with us on The Witches Movie Coven.
Courtney Buckley, Thumper Forge, and Tabitha Meadows dive into a spooky review of the 2001 horror movie '13 Ghosts.' We discuss the film's plot, character dynamics, special effects, and cultural impact. Additionally, we explore the influence of spiritualism and haunted houses, drawing connections to 19th-century architecture and the lore behind ghosts. Join us for an insightful and entertaining conversation full of laughs and witchy wisdom. Don't miss the Little Mermaid (1989) celebration coming up next week!
