| Thir13en Ghosts | comment |
Thir13en Ghosts is the 2001 remake of the 1960 film 13 Ghosts, directed by Steve Beck and starring Tony Shalhoub, Embeth Davidtz, Matthew Lillard, Shannon Elizabeth, and F. Murray Abraham.Arthur Kriticos (Shalhoub) finds himself as the heir to a elaborate glass mansion after his ghost hunter uncle Cyrus seemingly dies, and decides to move there along with his 17-year-old daughter Kathy, 11-year-old son Bobby, and their nanny Maggie. The mansion turns out to be harboring a sinister purpose, as the in-house machinery starts moving the glass walls that are inhabited by the twelve eponymous ghosts, held in check by Latin phrases etched in the panels. | |

Jacob Marley Apparel: The 13 ghosts imprisoned in the mansion have various individual items relating to their former lives or circumstances surrounding their deaths. The Torn Prince still has his baseball bat and car in his cell. The Angry Princess wields a knife she presumably cut herself with. | |

Plot-Triggering Death: Cyrus Kriticos is killed in the opening while he and his team were trying to capture a dangerous evil spirit. His mansion is left to his nephew in his will, which turns out to be a Haunted House. As it later turns out, Cyrus faked his death in order to lure his relatives there for a Human Sacrifice. | |

Symbolic Glass House | |
| Thir13en Ghosts / int_14ec1fb | comment |
Symbolic Glass House: The Basileus Machine is a massive machine created by scholar and occultist Kalina Oretzia as a home and paranormal device. From the outside, it looks like a modernist house covered with windows. From the inside, it's composed almost entirely of sliding-glass doors and hallways lined with runes that is used to imprison the various Vengeful Ghosts he had captured over the years. The heart of the house contains the Ocularis Infernum (butchered Latin for "The Eye of Hell"), a device that, when powered by 12 ghosts that follow the Black Zodiac and a human sacrifice representing the 13th one, can give its user the ability to see the future. | |

Crusading Widow | |
| Thir13en Ghosts / int_292d57cd | comment |
The Hammer: George Markeley was a blacksmith and family man. He became a Crusading Widower when his family was lynched and he later killed their murderers. However, the racist townsfolk responded by turning into a mob, chaining him to a tree, driving iron spikes into his body, cutting off his hand and replacing it with his hammer. His ghost is one of the three most violent, dangerous and deadly of the 13, second only to the ghost of a serial killer and an insane asylum patient. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Thir13en Ghosts / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Kalina may be in on the whole thing, but she is horrified when Cyrus suggests putting Arthur's kids in danger. In the Jackal's backstory, he realized how despicable his actions were and had himself committed to an asylum but eventually went insane just as rehabilitation proved impossible for his already messed up mentality. When the fire that claimed his life broke out. He refused help and decided it was better to simply die. The Bound Woman as well, though she doesn't appear as often as The Jackal does. This is particularly evident after the ghosts kill Cyrus. | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
| Thir13en Ghosts / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: Cyrus has no problem sacrificing Arthur's children (who are also his blood relatives, mind you) to complete his plans. Kalina, on the other hand, is horrified at the suggestion. When Jimbo, the carnival broker, found out what Harold aka The Great Child did, he had a mob tear him to shreds. While The Great Child isn't exactly a child, he was mentally handicapped like a 2 year old. | |

| Thir13en Ghosts / int_4814d132 | comment |
Big Fancy House: Cyrus' house, a mansion that is loaded with expensive memorabilia, and completely made of transparent walls. Even without the ghosts out to kill them, the rest of the family makes a complaint about the latter ("I hope the bathroom's in the basement"). | |

Spanner in the Works Cyrus is beaten in the end when Maggie (who has just woken up from being knocked out by Kalina) happens upon the manor's master controls, including the tape deck playing the chants that are controlling the ghosts, and messes with the controls. This causes the ghosts to break free and turn on Cyrus and the "Ocularis Infernum" to go into Explosive Overclocking, demolishing the house. | |

Subverted with Arthur, who's led to believe that he has to perform one to save his family. At the last moment, he realizes it's a Batman Gambit by Cyrus and his death would actually fulfill his uncle's plans. | |

Go Out with a Smile: In a sense. Dennis doesn't actually die smiling, but, when he later appears as a ghost, he seems a lot more content and at peace then when he was alive. This is because he no longer had to suffer the constant barrage of horrifying and grotesque imagery his psychic powers gave him. | |

Canis Latinicus: The device at the heart of Cyrus's plan is called the "Ocularis Infernum", which is supposed to mean "the eye of hell"... but actually means "the eye-like hell". In proper Latin, it should have been "Oculus Inferni". | |

Act of True Love: The only way to shut down the Ocularis Infernum is through an act of self-sacrifice (which would create a ghost made from True Love, which would act as the shut-down). Arthur is quite willing to make that sacrifice when his kids are taken by the ghosts. Which is what Cyrus wants, actually. That's why he put the kids in peril, after all... | |

Murder Into Malevolence | |
| Thir13en Ghosts / int_bec2f925 | comment |
Murder Into Malevolence: Some of the ghosts weren't violent in life, but the events leading up to their demise have made them vengeful in death. The Hammer: George Markeley was a blacksmith and family man. He became a Crusading Widower when his family was lynched and he later killed their murderers. However, the racist townsfolk responded by turning into a mob, chaining him to a tree, driving iron spikes into his body, cutting off his hand and replacing it with his hammer. His ghost is one of the three most violent, dangerous and deadly of the 13, second only to the ghost of a serial killer and an insane asylum patient. The Torn Prince: Royce Clayton. He was a gifted, if slightly arrogant baseball player who loved to race, and he died in a drag race with a greaser who cut his car's brake lines. He sports a baseball bat as a ghost and is very aggressive with it. The Angry Princess: Dana Newman. She committed suicide due to perceived imperfections, and though she's not as overly aggressive as others in the movie, she becomes threatening when in the vicinity of beautiful women, perhaps out of jealousy. | |

Resurrected Murderer: While most of the ghosts were actually normal people who didn't become violent until after they came back as ghosts, the Jackal and the Juggernaut were both Ax-Crazy serial killers before their deaths. The Juggernaut in particular accumulated 40 additional kills before Cyrus and his team trapped him in the opening. | |

The Oner | |
| Thir13en Ghosts / int_e7e558 | comment |
The Oner: The opening credits start with an idyllic scene of Kathy playing with Bobby outside while Arthur and Jean watch happily from the window. Then the camera slowly pans across while the audio of Jean's death is played over it, and the house slowly becomes more dilapidated and run down as the camera moves, before finally settling on a depressed Arthur staring out the window, with only a large brick building as his view. | |

Mobile Maze | |
| Thir13en Ghosts / int_ee1c6326 | comment |
Mobile Maze: The glass house. The reason the house keeps changing is because it's actually a giant machine designed to open a gateway to hell, and it's been moving into its final configuration. | |

Decomposite Character: In the 1960 film, the character Elaine was a medium, the dead uncle's female assistant, and the housekeeper. This version has the 3 separate characters of a (male) medium, the uncle's female assistant, and the housekeeper. | |

Goggles Do Something Unusual: The main characters wear special glasses to see the ghosts, in a Shout-Out to the Illusion-O gimmick of the original. | |

Vengeful Ghost | |
| Thir13en Ghosts / int_f3b590a | comment |
Vengeful Ghost: As you'd expect, the house is full of them. In-universe, Friendly Ghosts are the norm, but Cyrus specifically chose ones with spectacularly violent lives and deaths... and even they wander away and leave Arthur and his family alone once they've dealt with Cyrus and they're freed from the house. | |

Creepy Child | |
| Thir13en Ghosts / int_f3d5d15f | comment |
Creepy Child: Ghost #1, the First-born Son, who is dressed as a cowboy with an arrow through his head and carries a tomahawk around. Played oddly with the Great Child, who isn't an actual child, but is a huge, 40-year-old man in a diaper holding an ax. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Thir13en Ghosts / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: The film ends with Cyrus being violently punished, the ghosts being released/crossing over, and with all the members of the Kriticos family and Maggie alive, and even the ghost of Jean seems to have found peace at the end. Likewise, Dennis finally found peace after his Heroic Sacrifice against the Hammer and the Juggernaut. | |
