13 Ghosts is a 1960 American horror film directed by William Castle and written by Robb White. The film stars 11-year-old child actor Charles Herbert as "Buck" and co-stars veteran character actress Margaret Hamilton
as Elaine. Throughout the film Buck refers to Elaine as a witch. Though
this is never confirmed, the film hints at the possibility. These
inside references were an acknowledgement of Hamilton's best known role
as the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz.
A family inherits what proves to be a haunted house, but a special pair of goggles allows them to see their ghostly tormentors.
Story Plot :
When occultist
uncle Dr. Plato Zorba wills a huge ramshackle house to his nephew Cyrus
and his impoverished family, they are shocked to find the house is
haunted. Their new furnished residence comes complete with Dr. Plato
Zorba's housekeeper, Elaine Zacharides, plus a fortune in buried
treasure and 12 horrifying ghosts.
His
family soon discovers that these spirits include a wailing lady,
clutching hands, a floating head, a fiery skeleton, an Italian chef
murdering his wife and her lover in the kitchen, a hanging lady, an
executioner and severed head, a fully grown lion with its headless
tamer,
as well as Dr. Zorba himself, all held captive in the eerie house
looking for an unlucky thirteenth ghost to free them. Dr. Zorba leaves a
set of special goggles, the only way of seeing the ghosts.
However,
there is someone in the house who is also looking for the
money and is willing to kill for it. The villain turns out to be the
lawyer Benjamin Rush. He attempts to kill Cyrus' son, Buck, using the
falling bed canopy he used to kill Dr. Plato Zorba, but Dr. Zorba's
ghost catches him in the act, driving the terrified Rush to his death
in the bed just as Buck escapes. Rush becomes the 13th ghost, and the
ghosts disappear. The next morning, Cyrus and his family count the
discovered money, Buck keeps the mask used by Benjamen Rush to scare
Buck's big sister Medea Zorba, and they decide to stay.
