This terrific haunted-house thriller proved an unforgettable experience for 1960 audiences. Set in the mansion of a deceased scientist named Dr. Zorba, the story finds the late occult practitioner's nephew discovering a bunch of elusive spooks on the premises that can be seen only through Zorba's ghost-viewing glasses. Produced and directed by legendary showman William Castle, master of such garish, audience-pleasing gimmicks as flying skeletons and electric-shock theater seats, 13 Ghosts was hyped with an innovative process called "Illusion-O." Movie patrons were furnished with special, red-and-blue-colored glasses that allowed them to choose to see the titular specters or not. This DVD does not provide a working replica of the Illusion-O viewer (earlier copies did), but it offers both a straight, black-and-white version of the feature (no viewer necessary) and a version with the film's original tinted scenes requiring the viewer for extra fun. Also included is Castle's own introduction, in which he explains the Illusion-O technique. --Tom Keogh

Okay,like many reviewers have stated,no 3D glasses are given with the product,sort of a letdown(since the DVD packaging said it included a pair of glasses!),but if you can find a pair of 3D glasses sitting around the house,they should do the trick,saying that it's still a nice widerscreen transfer of the film in BOTH Illusion O and w/out Illusio O.The DVD does have some nice supplimentals,just not the darn glasses,guess like William Castle himself,this DVD must have had a small budget,tried to contact ...

The DVD includes 2 versions of the film, one in straight black-and-white, and one in "Illusion-O", where the film is still in black-and-white, except for several short sequences where the ghosts appear, which are presented in what is essentially red/blue 3-D.
First runs of the DVD contained carboard "Illusion-O" viewing glasses, which are nothing more than standard red/blue 3-D glasses (but with cool vintage ghost graphics around the border). Apparently later pressing of the disc do not contain ... Read More

William Castle. Can you possibly think of him with that signature cigar, that teeth-bare smile and that impish twinkle in his eyes without smiling back?
Stephan Sondheim proclaimed "You've Gotta Have a Gimmick" and he may have learned that from William Castle.
Thirteen Ghosts is all good fun. A family inherits a haunted house that may have a hidden treasure within. The previous owner invented some glasses that allow the wearer to see the ghosts. Are the ghosts trying to scare the ... Read More

Willwam Castle was filling the theaters with his "Gimick" movies in the 60's. With Illusion-O, you were given special glasses/filter...if you were "brave enough" to stand seeing the Ghosts you would put on the glasses when a sign on the screen tells you ....Thats how they got to see the ghosts. Thats what made this movie so special for me.
Was I brave enough to stand seeing the ghosts or did I dare, to put on the glasses? This special effect had never been done before, and was never repeated again. It ... Read More

If your looking for the original "Illusion-O" version look somewhere else cause this is the regular movie.
