They include the Juggernaut, a two-metre collossus of immense
strength, the Jackal, a head-caged maniac, the Angry Princess,
a beautiful woman who scarred herself with a massive kitchen
knife before committing suicide.
The tormented souls are trapped in the house and, after Cyrus's
untimely death, become the welcoming committee for his nephew
whose family is trying to get its life back together after
the death of its wife/mother.
Joining the grieving Arthur (Tony Shalhoub) is his daughter
Kathy (Shannon Elizabeth), son Bobby (Alec Roberts) and their
housekeeper.
The family doesn't realise that they are in extreme danger
and can't begin to see the goings on until they put on special
glasses. Then they see all the horrors heading towards them
and the fun begins.
Fortunately they get some assistance from a former employee
of Cyrus' (Matthew Lillard), who may just be able to save
them.
How you react to Thir13en Ghosts will depend very

was not so enthused - although she did jump on a number of
occasions.
Conclusion: Movie 80%, Extras 85%
