‘Thirteen Ghosts’ Gets a Blu-ray Collector’s Edition Release from Scream Factory
The gory 2001 remake of William Castle’s Thirteen Ghosts is getting a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray release on July 28, 2020, from Scream Factory.
In the Dark Castle production brimming with gore and astounding design work, a family inherits an elegant steel-and-glass mansion from a deceased relative. The catch is that along with the house comes a slew of ghosts that can be seen only through special goggles.
“Awesome ectoplasmic specters populate Thirteen Ghosts, an effects-rampant remake of the 1960 William Castle haunted-house film directed by Steve Beck (Ghost Ship) and from producers Gilbert Adler (House on Haunted Hill), Joel Silver (Predator, The Matrix, Suburbicon) and Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Death Becomes Her, What Lies Beneath).”

Tony Shalhoub (Galaxy Quest) leads a cast that includes Embeth Davidtz (“Mad Men”), Matthew Lillard (Scream, Scooby-Doo), Shannon Elizabeth (Cursed, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot), Rah Digga (Blade II), and F. Murray Abraham (“Homeland”).
“The house itself is a design marvel and a mysterious puzzle-cube whose eerie corridors, sliding walls, spinning floors and phantasmic fiends may allow no escape. A must-have for movie collectors and horror enthusiasts, this definitive Blu-ray release contains special bonus content, including new audio commentary, interviews and more.”

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
