(William Castle, 1960)
Release date: 26 April 2021
Standard Edition Blu-ray

When the Zorba family inherit a house from their late uncle, the occultist Plato Zorba, they didnt expect it come with a host of ghostly houseguests, including a headless lion tamer (and lion!), an aflame skeleton, a murderous chef and his victims, and an executioner. Despite this collection of sprites,13 Ghostsis one of the lighter efforts of shockmeister William Castle but just as inventive as his best works, and is presented here in both its black-and-white and Illusion-O versions.
