I loved the detail with Matthew Lillard's character, how throughout the film he's erratic and jumpy, prone to outbursts, and suffers a handful of mental breakdowns because of his visions. He literally never sits still because of his abilities. Then he dies. And when we see his spirit, he's finally calm and has a level expression on his face. All his life, his powers have pretty much tormented him, forcing him to see other people's trauma and share in it(which was presumably worse with the spirits) and now that he died, he's finally at peace. I like that detail with his character and Lillard performed it all very well
i was sad when he died, but he was at peace and accepted it. he gave his life so the others could live. still my top 3 favorite movies even if the story did not make any sense at times.
Horace "The Breaker" Mahoney was his name in life. He got the nickname 'The Breaker' because he was a serial killer who broke people into pieces with his bare hands. When he was captured, he also broke his handcuffs. Then of course... he also... breaks Dennis. Guy sure does love to break things!
@@cesarmorales9138 he has three names in the movie (for unknown reasons), being: Juggernaut, Breaker, and Titan My guess is production couldn't agree on a name to use, so writers called him one thing while the prop department called him something else
It’s funny, for a psychic Dennis is such a realistic character. He’s so tired of all this ghost shit, like just the “god I hate it when they do that” line felt so very relatable
Dennis is easily my favorite character in this film. You get that he is nothing like the uncle and what's-her-name, only having worked with the former because he preyed on his desire to find someplace that accepted him, and genuinely regretted the pain he caused.
I remember as a kid feeling really bad for Matthew Lilard's character dying but I always felt a bit better seeing him come back as a ghost since he looked a lot more relaxed and at peace with his death.
@@lexiscourse28575 You see, I have a Toaster, a special toaster that gives me money and i use that money to buy food and i give the food to James for free so he can let me watch the video before anybody else does.
I noticed that! Susan unfairly had a hand to grab Cyrus with, but Isabella's still stuck in her stocks! Come on, let the lady get some vengeance too, movie.
He should have been the main character. I couldn't be bothered to learn any of the other character's names, but after being with him for 20 minutes I already wanted a spin off centered around his adventures.
Fun fact for 13th Ghost fans: Up until the uncle's final demise the First Born, the Torso, the Bound Woman, the Withered Lover, the Pilgimess, the Dire Mother, and the Great Child were harmless ghost (at least the Great Child was Harmless unless he thinks his mother is in any danger). It was only the Torn Prince, the Angry Princess, the Hammer, the Jackal and the Juggernaut that pose the real threat. But I guess since the uncle capture them and bound their souls against their will the ghost harbor enough rage against him that when release even most of the harmless ghost took it out on him.
This is one of those horror films that would have probably been better as a TV series instead. Gives the backstories of the different ghosts a chance to take center stage and stick in your head. You could even have Arthur be recruited by his uncle during the hunts as a way to help with his financial troubles. Builds up the twist between him and Denis and makes the betrayal of his uncle actually have some weight.
Let’s pray they don’t do some stupid shit like that. Series production just never turns out quite as good.. not to mention all the low budget shit they’d be dealing with
The closest example I can point to is American Horror Story season 1. Its confined to a single large house with several ghosts all haunting it for different reasons, and going into each of their backstories as it plays out.
I love Found Flix because he discusses the deeper themes and symbolism in the stories of films. Dead Meat, on the other hand, goes into the technicality of the set design, actors, and production aspects. It's always a treat when they both cover the same film and I can have my cake and understand it too.
yes, ever since james started going into the technics of the films, which i believe was around when he covered the final destination films? talking about notable special effects, people and overall production, his videos have increased in entertainment and fascination. its fun to watch the kill counts, but its also fun to learn about the hard work behind the films. it also takes the edge off the scary movie, seeing the joy and fun that was had behind the scenes. for those of us that arent _that_ fond of extreme gore or seeing people brutally murdered, its nice.
This was my ish when I was a kid, Jackal used to terrify me but nowadays that Ghost is my favorite. Also I loved the BTS Bonus features where they told you each Ghost's origin story and really added to rewatching the film for me haha
For a movie with a pretty terrible plot. The set design, effects, and make up are incredible. Not to mention Matthew freaking Lillard is in the movie. What a legend.
I think that's basically what sold it. Practical and digital effects, combined with the sets, Lillard's acting, and the overall "fun" of the movie. It's horror but it obviously is more of an action/survival type of movie.
I genuinely enjoy how James doesn’t care about extra views and makes sure that photosensitive viewers are okay and just tells them to skip the whole video
@@bruh2221 well he wasn’t joking. my service dog was very upset with me, but for the most part i just listened to the soothing tones of James describing the chaos.
You after all of these years me and my mom have been watching this we especially my mom has been saying this forever like I get exactly what you are saying I wish they would just show each and every one of their backstories but noooo
It's because the movie was already too long by itself upon completion and the 3 scenes of exposition were long enough without exposition about each ghost. I feel like a remake would do a better job balancing all of it, but this is also one of those movies where a remake would be very hit or miss with watchers who know the original movie.
The Juggernaut always scared me as a kid. So did the Jackal. And I also agree that Ben Moss's death has been one forever etched in my memory since I first saw this.
Thirteen Ghosts and Ghost Ship are two of the most underrated horror movies of the early 2000's and a fun fact here, both movies have the same director
Honestly, I’m totally convinced that this is what Shaggy started doing after the Scooby Gang broke up. I mean how else is Shaggy supposed to understand Scooby Doo besides Psychic ability?
The fact that the backstories of the ghost's aren't even mentioned in the movie besides that one DVD extra is criminal. Edit: Thanks for those pointing out that the ghost's backstories are actually not a blu ray extra but are DVD Extras. My bad.
Fortunately, all of the backstories from the featurette can be found here on TH-cam in full--they're kickass, too! Like they really did go all out, lol
I seriously need a series based on all 13 ghost. How they died and their story. Also I just love Matthew Lillard. Like this is the closest we'll technically get to a live action 13 Ghost of Scooby-Doo
As a kid I always thought the ghosts were numbered from least dangerous to most dangerous, which is why The Hammer, Jackal, and Juggernaut were the last numbered ghosts since they could do the most damage.
@@InitialPC She's the fourth ghost which means she's more dangerous than the first three. She's the only who was a happy and kind person in life without a bone to pick with someone, shouldn't she be first instead of the little boy?
@@StrickenWithFear I thought you were talking about the Pilgrimess for a moment (the locals trapped her in burning barn) Maybe the threat level is based more on physical ability rather then intent?
*FUN FACT* (in case anyone doesn't know) The following year, Matthew Lillard plays Shaggy in the two live action movies *_Scooby-Doo_* (2002) and its sequel *_Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed_* (2004), yet there was 1985 animated series several years earlier: The Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby-Doo with Vincent Price voiced Vincent Van Ghoul (bit a vampire and magician combination) And interestingly, before Thirteen Ghosts, the first movie Dark Castle Entertainment produced was House on Haunted Hill (1999) the remake of the original _House on Haunted Hill_ (1959) - that one starred Vincent Price 😏
Police dashcams and body cameras of blood and killings: Alright Any sort of nudity mild or above: *Hold it right there mister!* Not to say that there is anything wrong with blood & gore but still.
This film is a good example that a script can be stupid, but the end result film can still be absolutely thrilling. EDIT: How in the jolly blue fuck is this my most liked comment???
Nah, I actually like the script. Matthew Lillard made it work. It isn't perfect, but as an emotional empath myself, I can tell you that Lillard was Extremely successful in capturing someone dealing with that except twice as difficult and dangerous to his health. The complete force of everyone around you, for years just saying that you're imagining it, when you literally can get yourself killed by the amount of fear that surrounds you. That, is true representation.
That’s basically the entire fart and furious franchise Edit: I noticed I accidentally spelled fart instead of fast but I’m keeping it for comedic purposes
@@kyrauniversal nah this movie was stupid, you’re right that part is decently portrayed, but the way it’s written, the way the actors perform the script, and overall the entire movie is just badly done
When I was a kid I was always scared that one of these ghosts were in my room and I just couldnt see them bc I didn't have the glasses. The only way I calmed myself down was imagining that the ghost that was in my room was the torso and that he couldnt reach me from my floor lmao
🤣 when i was a kid i protected myself from the ghosts by surrounding my bed with electrical gadgets like my remote control and my xbox controller i used to pretend they generated a shield that nothing could pass through
I agree. During the whole movie, I kinda just wanted to now more about Dennis Rafkin. It's too bad he sacrificed himself far away from the Eye of Hell; he could have easily been the Thirteenth Ghost, freeing the ghosts he helped to capture, as well as his new friends.
I absolutely adore Matthew Lillard in this movie, his manic energy just fits the frenetic editing style so perfectly and he always knows exactly what movie he is. Tbh I lose interest once he dies lol. I’m obsessed with the character design of the ghosts though and I wish we saw more of them in the movie. I’d honestly love this to be remade as a tv show, it’s be a super enjoyable ride. Great job as always though, James 🥰
Interesting facts about Thirteen Ghosts (2001) In the movie, the characters need special glasses to see the ghosts. In the original 13 Ghosts (1960), viewers needed special glasses to see the ghosts. This is one of the few details from the original that was kept. Herbert Duncanson, who plays The Hammer, was not originally hired as an actor for the film but as a stand-in for reference and test shots. When the original actor cast for the role never showed up, he was given the role of that ghost as a last-minute replacement, as there was no time to hold auditions for a recast. Duncan MacLeod's dragon katana from Highlander (1992) appears as one of the swords in Cyrus' collection. John DeSantis (Juggernaut) was gifted a finished life cast by the production after filming wrapped up, as a memento.
15:00 you can't blame the Hammer. He was falsely accused and saw his family hang. He took revenge and was executed for it. Besides Jean, I feel sorry for this one because he didn't deserve that.
I also felt bad for The Pilgrimess since she was merely killed for being accused of being a witch and The Great Child and Dire Mother since she was killed as a cruel joke and he was just getting revenge for them killing her.
@@jongon0848 the only ghosts I feel deserved well being ghosts was the Juggernaut and maybe the Jackal Juggernaut was a mass murderer and Jackal was a insane cannibal
13 ghosts and ghost ship are two of my favorite horror movies i saw as a kid (i think edited for TV on SciFi maybe?) and a huge part of why i came to love the genre. i still love rewatching them, despite all their shortcomings plot-wise, but now finding out they had the same director explains so much lol
Matthew Lillard is a real-life reincarnation of Shaggy Rogers, both physically and vocally. His character in this film even depicts his 'Shaggy' like behavior, complete with psychic abilities!!!!
Literally the first time I noticed the family aren't wearing their glasses at the end when Jean appears to them, yet they all see her. So the ghosts must be able to make themselves visible if they want to.
He is talking about the actress who played Kalina in this movie, she was also in Matilda, Army of Darkness and the two Amazing Spider Man as Peter Parker's mom
Honestly what they should do, make a show out of this. Have an episode dedicated to each one of the ghost and then maybe have a 4 parter with the family. It could really work.
@Ashely Tupper. Matthew Lillard actually hated Thirteen Ghosts, he said it’s one of his worst films. Though I personally enjoy it as a guilty pleasure. Matthew Lillard has said that his 2 favourite films he was in are Scream and SLC Punk.
@@nu-metalfan2654 lots of actor hate what some consider to be their best work. I said this is ONE of his best movies since Scream, not the best. And yes, it’s a definitely a mistake on my part not to mention SLC Punk! with Scream in my original comment lol
I just rewatched this movie last night. The opening credits scene, with the rotating perspective and the narration of Jean's death, was beautifully done IMO
Cannot believe this. This was one of my very first horror movies and I've always had this vivid memory of the bath scene but could not for the life of me find this movie for like 10 years, literally looking up any horror blood bath scene I could and here it is. Thank you!!
Only if we let ghost ship design guy and the set design dude in on that, because hot damn their ghost deisgns and set design made this movie. Like. Nothing gets me going more than a place that cool n spooky
Honestly we needs hard R horror show about the ghosts. I could see it on HBO or some shit like that. Have it be a prequel as well as present day and future and have the timelines mixed up and shown to us in a way that you have to piece the story together like a puzzle (kinda how Westworld season 1 did.... Oooops spoilers!! 😂 But let's be real that shit came out years ago so if you haven't watched it yet, then what are you doing with your life? LoL)
For once in my life, I ACTUALLY managed to make it early to a Dead Meat Kill Count episode. But that was only because my cat woke me up at 6:00 in the morning because he threw up on the damn couch.
It took three watches for me to realize that James mentions Cyrus at the end of the junkyard scene but doesn't add a number for him to the count, and you don't really notice because the info for Damon's kill is still on screen. Clever and sneaky!
This movie terrified me as a small child when it came out, no there was no censorship in my house. As I got older it became a favorite, even with all it's flaws. Thank you for an amazing review! And nice Haunting of Hill House reference!
Meh. I thought he was annoying. I really don't like him in Scream either. He's just got an annoying face and not so great talent. Not really a good actor, imho.
@@richieboostajr.35 "imo" or you really just hate him? C'mon tell it no one even ask for your opinion and his "annoying face" is the face that bring his roles good characteristics
Daughter: "Wow dad it's beautiful!" James: "yeah I guess if you consider an escape room with elven runs all over it beautiful." Me: "Yeah, like she says. It's BEAUTIFUL!"
As a child.. this movie was my favorite, and definitely the scariest I had ever watched. Coming back to it now, its not as scary as a remember, but it will always have a place in my mind for the nightmares it gave me.
The special features explaining the ghosts made this a favorite of my friends and I. I think we watched their stories more then the full movie. We memorized the stories because the ghost were the real stars! I could see them making a limited series of thirteen episodes exploring their back stories with the framing story of their capture as ghosts bringing them together. You could explore the characters like the uncle and his nephew more with the framing story and the thirteenth episode would be the house/machine with less running around and a better pay off since it is what they were working on the whole time.
Embeth Davidtz was also in Army of Darkness, Schindler's List... Crazy to think she's 55-years-old now. She was a young 35 here. Makes you feel old this film is 20 years old now. 2001 seems so long ago.
The moment of Kalina's skull popping as it's crushed was really shocking for me the first time I saw it, and that is still my favorite kill in this movie
It’s weird how every time I watch a movie I haven’t watched in a LONG TIME and see if anyone did a kill count then somehow right after I do that SOMEONE DOES A KILL COUNT BRUH it’s so weird
I am a boy from Turkey and I watched this movie while I was 7 years old in my grandparents village in the dark . The princess and the lawyer’s death scene gave me scars for life and I am still cautious around glass doors

Matthew Lillard is a legend, one of the most underrated ever.
Is this true? Or are you afraid of Shaggy's power?
So underrated
@@harley8047 😂😂
Very underrated
Very true
As a kid I always thought the ghosts were numbered from least dangerous to most dangerous, which is why The Hammer, Jackal, and Juggernaut were the last numbered ghosts since they could do the most damage.
Would also explain why the first three were a kid, a woman with her hands tied behind her back, and Jean.
Shouldn't the burned wife be first then since she wasn't tormented or anything?
@@StrickenWithFear what do you mean?
@@InitialPC She's the fourth ghost which means she's more dangerous than the first three. She's the only who was a happy and kind person in life without a bone to pick with someone, shouldn't she be first instead of the little boy?
@@StrickenWithFear I thought you were talking about the Pilgrimess for a moment (the locals trapped her in burning barn)
Maybe the threat level is based more on physical ability rather then intent?
*FUN FACT* (in case anyone doesn't know)
The following year, Matthew Lillard plays Shaggy in the two live action movies *_Scooby-Doo_* (2002) and its sequel *_Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed_* (2004), yet there was 1985 animated series several years earlier: The Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby-Doo with Vincent Price voiced Vincent Van Ghoul (bit a vampire and magician combination)
And interestingly, before Thirteen Ghosts, the first movie Dark Castle Entertainment produced was House on Haunted Hill (1999) the remake of the original _House on Haunted Hill_ (1959) - that one starred Vincent Price 😏

This film is a good example that a script can be stupid, but the end result film can still be absolutely thrilling.
EDIT: How in the jolly blue fuck is this my most liked comment???
Nah, I actually like the script. Matthew Lillard made it work. It isn't perfect, but as an emotional empath myself, I can tell you that Lillard was Extremely successful in capturing someone dealing with that except twice as difficult and dangerous to his health. The complete force of everyone around you, for years just saying that you're imagining it, when you literally can get yourself killed by the amount of fear that surrounds you. That, is true representation.
That’s basically the entire fart and furious franchise
Edit: I noticed I accidentally spelled fart instead of fast but I’m keeping it for comedic purposes
@@kyrauniversal nah this movie was stupid, you’re right that part is decently portrayed, but the way it’s written, the way the actors perform the script, and overall the entire movie is just badly done

When I was a kid I was always scared that one of these ghosts were in my room and I just couldnt see them bc I didn't have the glasses. The only way I calmed myself down was imagining that the ghost that was in my room was the torso and that he couldnt reach me from my floor lmao
🤣 when i was a kid i protected myself from the ghosts by surrounding my bed with electrical gadgets like my remote control and my xbox controller i used to pretend they generated a shield that nothing could pass through

THE TORSO! That was the ghost that gave me nightmares. I’ll say this, I have a terrible fear of corpses and expressionless things
SCP-178 is basically this situation
I just stared until I either fell asleep or the penguin bin stopped walking to my bed
I thought Dennis's kill was sad. He was a great character
I agree. During the whole movie, I kinda just wanted to now more about Dennis Rafkin. It's too bad he sacrificed himself far away from the Eye of Hell; he could have easily been the Thirteenth Ghost, freeing the ghosts he helped to capture, as well as his new friends.
Seeing Shaggy get killed by a ghost really fucked me up 😂

I absolutely adore Matthew Lillard in this movie, his manic energy just fits the frenetic editing style so perfectly and he always knows exactly what movie he is. Tbh I lose interest once he dies lol. I’m obsessed with the character design of the ghosts though and I wish we saw more of them in the movie. I’d honestly love this to be remade as a tv show, it’s be a super enjoyable ride. Great job as always though, James 🥰
Matthew lillard is a great actor and he plays the character shaggy very well.
Oh, for sure. Matthew Lillard is a treasure. Chip Sutphin is one of the most memorable characters of the 1990s for me.
I am you and you are me. 😂 Because I felt exactly the same, after his character died I just didn't care anymore!
Seeing Matthew Lillard deliver a James Gunn line so well makes me want to see him in one of his future projects.....Guardians 3?
Interesting facts about Thirteen Ghosts (2001) In the movie, the characters need special glasses to see the ghosts. In the original 13 Ghosts (1960), viewers needed special glasses to see the ghosts. This is one of the few details from the original that was kept. Herbert Duncanson, who plays The Hammer, was not originally hired as an actor for the film but as a stand-in for reference and test shots. When the original actor cast for the role never showed up, he was given the role of that ghost as a last-minute replacement, as there was no time to hold auditions for a recast. Duncan MacLeod's dragon katana from Highlander (1992) appears as one of the swords in Cyrus' collection. John DeSantis (Juggernaut) was gifted a finished life cast by the production after filming wrapped up, as a memento.
15:00 you can't blame the Hammer. He was falsely accused and saw his family hang. He took revenge and was executed for it. Besides Jean, I feel sorry for this one because he didn't deserve that.
I also felt bad for The Pilgrimess since she was merely killed for being accused of being a witch and The Great Child and Dire Mother since she was killed as a cruel joke and he was just getting revenge for them killing her.
@@jongon0848 the only ghosts I feel deserved well being ghosts was the Juggernaut and maybe the Jackal Juggernaut was a mass murderer and Jackal was a insane cannibal

Literally the first time I noticed the family aren't wearing their glasses at the end when Jean appears to them, yet they all see her. So the ghosts must be able to make themselves visible if they want to.

Honestly what they should do, make a show out of this. Have an episode dedicated to each one of the ghost and then maybe have a 4 parter with the family. It could really work.
probably wouldn't work, plenty of TV Show adaptations of movies end up being really drawn out and padded
God, Matthew Lillard CHEWING the hell out of the scenery in this movie is AMAZING. Probably one of his best movies since Scream
Look up SLC Punk. You'll be mesmerized
Nah his best role was Shaggy bro 😂
@Ashely Tupper. Matthew Lillard actually hated Thirteen Ghosts, he said it’s one of his worst films. Though I personally enjoy it as a guilty pleasure. Matthew Lillard has said that his 2 favourite films he was in are Scream and SLC Punk.
@@nu-metalfan2654 lots of actor hate what some consider to be their best work. I said this is ONE of his best movies since Scream, not the best. And yes, it’s a definitely a mistake on my part not to mention SLC Punk! with Scream in my original comment lol
At least these 13 ghosts don’t have to deal with the true terror of scrappy doo
So this is what Shaggy would’ve done if he left the Scooby Doo gang
What? Die? 😂😂💁🏻♂️
XD
Like Zonks..
He should have stayed a Stoner
predictable
Maybe he survived and assumed a knew identity , would explain why he's terrified by monsters and the like.
I like to think James works out so much that Chelsea asks what’s wrong and he says “I’m dead meat, but I have to get supercut”

Cannot believe this. This was one of my very first horror movies and I've always had this vivid memory of the bath scene but could not for the life of me find this movie for like 10 years, literally looking up any horror blood bath scene I could and here it is. Thank you!!
Who else would be interested in a prequel to 13 Ghost about them capturing all the ghost!?!
Sounds interesting
Bill Murray and his team captured them
Only if we let ghost ship design guy and the set design dude in on that, because hot damn their ghost deisgns and set design made this movie.
Like. Nothing gets me going more than a place that cool n spooky
Honestly we needs hard R horror show about the ghosts. I could see it on HBO or some shit like that. Have it be a prequel as well as present day and future and have the timelines mixed up and shown to us in a way that you have to piece the story together like a puzzle (kinda how Westworld season 1 did.... Oooops spoilers!! 😂 But let's be real that shit came out years ago so if you haven't watched it yet, then what are you doing with your life? LoL)
For once in my life, I ACTUALLY managed to make it early to a Dead Meat Kill Count episode.
But that was only because my cat woke me up at 6:00 in the morning because he threw up on the damn couch.

This movie is a very unique horror movie in that none of the 4 “hero protagonists” die.
This movie is worth it just to see Matthew Lillard as another wacky character. He's amazing.
It’s genuinely a beautiful movie and one of my favorite “horror” movies. Watched it for the first time about 2-3 years ago and fell in love.
It took three watches for me to realize that James mentions Cyrus at the end of the junkyard scene but doesn't add a number for him to the count, and you don't really notice because the info for Damon's kill is still on screen. Clever and sneaky!

As a child.. this movie was my favorite, and definitely the scariest I had ever watched. Coming back to it now, its not as scary as a remember, but it will always have a place in my mind for the nightmares it gave me.
I really want James to do more of these early 2000's horror movies
Rah Digga, Ice Cube, Busta Rymes......the trio of rappers who survive a horror flick!
@Kentavian Lemons Not his bird, though. :(
"A lot of people really like this movie so I hope they enjoyed this episode." To borrow a phrase from James himself "Oh that's nice"
Hey James I am currently going through depression and your humor is helping so just know never to stop

Priceless
The special features explaining the ghosts made this a favorite of my friends and I. I think we watched their stories more then the full movie. We memorized the stories because the ghost were the real stars! I could see them making a limited series of thirteen episodes exploring their back stories with the framing story of their capture as ghosts bringing them together. You could explore the characters like the uncle and his nephew more with the framing story and the thirteenth episode would be the house/machine with less running around and a better pay off since it is what they were working on the whole time.
The first kill was so exquisite and well portrayed. I still cant believe this was made in 2001
