Thirteen Ghosts (also known as 13 Ghosts and stylized as THIR13EN Ghosts) is a 2001 supernatural horror film directed by Steve Beck in his directorial debut. A remake of the 1960 film 13 Ghosts by William Castle, the film stars Tony Shalhoub, Embeth Davidtz, Matthew Lillard, Shannon Elizabeth, Alec Roberts, Rah Digga, and F. Murray Abraham.
The film was considered a box-office disappointment, grossing $68 million on a $42 million budget. Thirteen Ghosts received generally negative reviews from critics, though the production design was praised. Years after its release, the film garnered a cult following.
