Does anyone know if the ORIGINAL black and white version of this movie is available on DVD, I remember watching this movie when I was 10yrs old. I've done a Google search but no luck.
Did a Wiki search and this is the link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_Ghosts

The remake in 2001 was crappy.
any help appreciated thanks

It's listed on Amazon - albeit via different 'outlets'.

13 ghosts 1960.

thanks for that , i found a trailer on you tube and laughed so much..yes I know, the acting is terrible, and the movie corney but I still think it was great for the special effects for its day.

scared me well enuff !!

I hate the 2001 movie. The only good part is the part where the lawyer is chopped in half by the snapping doors, and his body is cross sectioned. After that I thought the movie might get good, but no it really just sucked.

I think it says an awful lot about you that the only part you think is 'good' is that said part.
I also think you are breaking the golden rule of cinema by watching from the perspective of someone who knows that they are watching a fictional, manufactured movie. You are supposed to identify with a certain character. One of your choice. You are supposed to try and forget that it is a movie and feel as if you are the character.

try it. get a little off your head with some mind altering drug, like... ahem... alcohol... and maybe the movie will be better..

I liked it! It was fun and suspenseful...Matthew Lillard was a blast!

I didn't know there was an original...I'll have to check it out.

I agree. I loved it. The visuals were fantastic. The way they made the house look, the costuming/makeup for the ghosts were phenomenal. I am a special effects artists for movies, and the person who came up with the visuals for this movie was a genius!!
As a matter of fact, about a year after this movie was released, I got an opportunity to run my own haunted house. I designed the house, and all the characters in it, with the same "feel" as this movie. My prerequisite for all the employees was to watch this movie and study the ghosts. We won awards for our haunt that year. And we were on a VERY low budget.

Thats fantastic..I would love to have seen that!!!
I think the original movie was way ahead of its time for its effects..for a 1960's movie if you look past the bad acting annd just watch the movie for what it is ,as a little kid back then it scared the poop out of me but I saw it years later and thoughtoh wowwwwww this is really cool.
If you manage to find the movie check it out.It might come in handy for another project.
Congrats again NB

I enjoyed them both.

Showgirl, right on.

The Remake SUCKED... I just could not get into it... I tried like 5 times to... I was gonna rent it to watch last halloween but I decided on 28 Weeks Later instead... The original 13 Ghosts is on SCREAM every other sunday at like 4 am during a hailstorm...
