Verdict
Highly recommended

Steve Beck’s Thir13en Ghosts is one of my all-time favorite horror movies, which is why I gave it such a high rating. This is a rewatch — I have seen it at least 20 times. I just love the concept of a portal to hell powered by the dead, and each ghost has a trait that is required to make the machine work.

The Juggernaut

The Juggernaut has to be my absolute favorite of the ghosts.

My guilty pleasure

Arthur is a weak character, to say the least, but I think the ghosts make up for that character weakness. We all have that guilty pleasure movie, and this one is mine.

Night five on the scare schedule

This was night five of 31 Nights of Halloween — one horror film a night, all October. The rest of the month is mapped out if you want to follow along as the scores pile up.
