The uncle left you a mansion, a fortune hidden somewhere inside it, a terrifying housekeeper, and twelve ghosts. All you need to see them is a pair of special glasses – and the courage to look through the red filter. Tea, Karen and their friend Bella dive into William Castle’s 1960 supernatural gem 13 Ghosts – the Illusion-O gimmick film that gave audiences the choice to see the ghosts or not and in doing so asked one of horror’s most interesting questions: how much do you want to be scared? They cover the ultimate showmanship, the surprisingly effective mystery thriller plot underneath the gimmick, and why Castle’s participatory horror philosophy is still deeply relevant to how we think about audience and fear.
