Thirteen Ghosts (2001) dir. Steve Beck. 7.5/10

I would not recommend this movie to my friends. I would not rewatch this movie.

Dennis will forever be Shaggy to me. Also, where's Scooby? They should just make like a hazmat suit kinda thing with spells on it to protect themselves. That Arthur leap into the blades is not real my god. Yeah, right that would happen. I remember this movie being traumatizing as a kid, but it was just fun as a grown-up. This is all such a very specific kind of experience. Every death was crazy. But, poor Dennis. He was like bullied to death.

The Jackal is so aggressive. What happened to you? How can they see Jean afterwards and she's normal? How did Maggie survive the explosion?

Thir13en Ghosts - Steve Beck 2001

SUMMARY: When Cyrus Kriticos, a very rich collector of unique things, dies, he leaves his house, fortune, and his prized collection of ghosts.

The mod would watch this for Matthew Lillard but has heard that this isn't a good movie, so she's not quite sure if she will actually watch or not.

There's yet a haunt on the hill...

Here and here I tried to sort out the intricated chain tying up Shirley Jackson' The Haunting of Hill House with the various works inspired by it, confused with it or indirectly linked to it (Hell House, The Turn of the Screw, Rose Red, and more...). But I have one more chain that truly turns this labyrinthine construction into a true web.

As you remember, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House was released in 1959...

But there is another piece of horror about a haunted house that got released in 1959. And it has such a similar name to Jackson's novel, it is often confused with it. It is the movie "House on Haunted Hill".

House on Haunted Hill has nothing to do with Jackson's novel beyond being a haunted house horror movie where a group of people are reunited to experience ghostly activities. And yet, despite not being very well remembered, this movie played a small part in the history of cinema - because upon seeing it, Alfred Hitchock decided to do his own horror movie... And the result was Psycho.

The coincidences pile up, however, when you realize that "House on Haunted Hill" got a remake in 1999... The same year the remake of "The Haunting" got released.

Another coincidence: in 2023, a novel was published to serve as a sequel to the movie. It is Gary J. Rose's "House on Haunted Hill: Resurrection".

Which is NOT to be confused with the 2007 movie sequel of the 1999 movie, "Return to House on Haunted Hill".

But why do I say coincidence? Because in 2023, "The Haunting of Hill House" also got a novel sequel! Well it is rather an official work set in the same universe as Jackson' novel but a long time after the original story, so not a direct sequel... But is still exists: Elizabeth Hand's "A Haunting on the Hill".

I could stop here... But why not push a tiny bit more? "The House on Haunted Hill" was part of the forgotten-but-now cult era of 50s gimmick-horror-movies, born out of the mind of William Castle. For those of you who do not know, "gimmick movies" were so special because there were all sorts of gadgets, "immersive experiences" and other jumpscares INSIDE the theater, to make the audience "feel" the movie. This is what made the success of William Castle's movie... But also their quick outdating, since watching them outside of an equiped theater room robs you of half of the experience and truly lowers the movie's quality... Even though recently an attempt to recreate this experience was made. In 2012, Christopher R. Mihm released "House of Ghosts", a movie not only paying homage/heavily inspired by "House on Haunted Hill", but also using live-screening gimmcks similar to those of Castle's movie.

Of the various gimmick horror pieces of Castle, only two tend to be remembered. "House on Haunted Hill" ; and the 1960's "Thirteen Ghost" movie.

But the latter is only remembered because of its modern remake, much more well-known and talked about: 2001's Thir13en Ghosts.

AND, the production company behind this movie "Dark Castle Entertainment", was also the one behind 1999's House on Haunted Hill - in fact, both movies were supposed to be released together as a double-feature...

And if we push things even further, the same way Mike Flanagan's Haunting of Hill House actually bears a huge influence from another horror classic (The Shining), 1999's "House on Haunted Hill" also bears the strong influence and pays a heavy homage to a cult horror movie: 1990's Jacob's Ladder...

... While also reusing deleted elements from another horror movie released earlier: 1981's "Ghost Story"...

... adapted from the 1979's novel "Ghost Story" by Peter Straub...

... Itself heavily influenced by Henry James' ghost stories (remember, the author of The Turn of the Screw). In fact, Straub was called a "modern-day Henry James" due to this book.
