You'll believe in ghosts too when you see them through the GHOST VIEWER. Turn 'em on and turn 'em off when they turn on you.

When the Zorba family inherits a house from their late uncle, the occultist Plato Zorba, they didn't expect it to come with a host of ghostly houseguests, including a headless lion tamer (and lion!), an aflame skeleton, a murderous chef and his victims, and an executioner.

Despite this collection of sprites, 13 Ghosts is one of the lighter efforts of shockmeister William Castle - but just as inventive as his best works, and is presented in ‘Illusion-O'.
