I love this movie. GG!! The reason Maggie started the wacky record remix scene was she was played by Rah Digga, who got her fame from being in the underground hiphop group The Outsidaz. They only released one full length EP but for an independent underground group was a pretty good first album. Has at least two songs I still have in rotation to this day. Obviously I am an old school underground hiphop head. Back when everyone was drooling over 2Pac and Biggie, there was a pretty great underground scene thriving. Unfortunately, the scene kinda started to die down oddly enough when one of its underground hero's became the biggest rapper in the fuckin world. I'll give you a hint, Hi! My Name Is! Not saying the independent underground scene is dead, its still there and has new upstarts coming up all the time. It just took a huge break and all the heroes, Mos Def, Atmosphere, etc, either hit the height of their fame or just gave up on trying after seeing that little bastard from Detroit blow up overnight. Especially because he was just a battle rapper with a shitty first album but had the number 1 hit for like a fuckin year straight. The scene was forever tainted after that. Anyways, sorry for the rant. blah blah Rah Digga, The Outsidaz, yadda yadda great breakdown and review.....as always! And damn!! You're looking so much healthier!!
Man 13 ghost is one of those films that makes me so sad. Because you can just, feel the idea struggling in the film to breathe. 10/10 I think it would do well from the longer format episode like 30mins for each ghost then, the movie.
Matthew Lillard is not only a fantastic, underrated actor, he's a super great guy IRL. He was a guest at a convention I was working, the place was supposed to shut down at 9pm, but at 8:30 his line was still crazy. Dude stayed signing, taking pictures, and chatting with every single person in that line. didn't rush anyone, just a genuinely delightful human to interact with. He payed the con security out of his own pocket for them to stick around.
this really could still be a sick game. The concept of the glasses, breaking/taking the away in one chapter after going toe to toe with them would be fkn terrifying. A co op where the other person has to describe where the ghost is in some way would be interesting af
Dang that is a great concept. I could see that absolutely taking off and becoming a very lucrative fad to whatever studio made it work. Don’t get me wrong it could def be a legitimately good game… but it could also make a lot of money for someone lol.
I used to be neighbors with a woman who was in the original thirteen ghosts. Her name was Jo Morrow, afaik she’s still alive and well. She used to teach art and music in my school as well, everyone called her Nana Jo.
16:00 that's because his story was changed in production - originally he died from choking on food, and fell onto his mother. She was still alive but starved to death as she was unable to move herself out from under him. Their makeup reflects this story as opposed to the revised one.
@@dottyContrarian I think it better since it's directly tied to their life's actions like a lot of other ghosts and not just some other carnival workers just decided to kill her for proper reason
@@hollyjordan3872 that movie is so under appreciated. It was an absolute classic when I was young! Must have watched it 20 times back in like 2005! "ONLY POSERS DIE!" (God. That death of Bob was so sad. Shit hit like mufasa dying every time!😭)
I looove the concept of thirtheen ghosts so much, the ghosts are soooo cool and you can tell they put so much thought and work behind their designs, with the extra material from the dvd with all their backstories just makes them better. I wish we had a series of the ghosts and Matthew Lillard
Yeah, they made extended backstories for each ghost, which makes them more interesting, however they did that as "dvd extra" rather then explain them in movie. In movie, they kinda just show up without any real explanation or backstory past "they are freaky ghosts". They just look freaky (seriously, all are amazing in idea and makeup is top tier). Even back then as kid, I thought ghosts look cool as hell, but movie overall was quite weak. I haven't seen in in recent years, it might have improved with age, because I swear, some of those early 2000s movies look like masterpieces compared to crap we get these days.
It’s actively in the works and has already been pitched! The OG studio wants to do a show where each ghost gets an episode and distinct director to hopefully be tied altogether with a ghost Matthew lillard lol

Un-Possessed demons were rendered immobile. Fae and Djinn would be burned by the touch and Dark elves were repelled up to 3 feet away
Something I noticed while watching this video is that the Hammer didn’t act aggressive towards the nanny even when she got up close to the glass, he just looked at her, but when Matthew Lillards character does this the hammer reacted violently. I think this is because the nanny, like him, is black so he didn’t see her as an enemy.
Could even be that she might've reminded him of his wife. Even as an enraged ghost, I'd be pretty chill too if someone came along who even partially resembled a person I used to care for.
I think he was a gentleman through and through before his family was stolen from him, and wouldn't have harmed someone he didn't have a soul-burning grudge against. He's happy to beat the tar out of Dennis and throw Cyrus into the spinning blades at the end. He was also fine with going after Arthur. What I wanted to see was how he would react if he came upon Kalina or Arthur's kids. Violence is supposed to be all he and the other ghosts know, so how would he react to them? So many interesting what ifs to explore.
I would recomend taking Mirtazapin. Only medication that acctualy made me drowsy without any major side effects. I have been taking it for two years now and can definitely say it brought my life in order again.
I think the idea that Matthews character knew he was going to die, but went through with it anyway to help him. It was also a way of redeeming himself for helping a millionaire capture a bunch of souls for a evil purpose all just for money. He could've used his pshycic powers for good but instead used them to make a quick buck. The decision to go against everything he helped create to put a wrench in the evil dude's plan and save a family while he was at it was the ultimate redemption. Was also kinda symbolic he died by the ghosts he helped capture.
I see what you mean, but isn’t capturing the ghosts, even if for a selfish reason, an overall positive outcome? Now they’re stuck in the house and can’t hurt anyone.
Cabin in the woods was like a spiritual succession to this movie for me..... Explaining a bit more about the backstory of monster characters in the film. Both super fun films
As a kid when my parents brought this DVD home in a box from a garage sale the cover scared me. Watching it the premise terrified me. Then when I got to the end I literally lost all my fear of ghosts irl. This movie was truly perspective altering for me.
This movie still has a special place in my heart, I first saw it when I was like 13 and at the beginning of my "edgy" phase. I remember googling the Black Tarot afterwards and being absolutely gutted it wasn't a real thing. I mean, admittedly I was 13 and dumb, but it says something that the lore was so intricate and cool that it just made sense to me that this must be based on a "real" legend or something. So much missed potential it still makes me sad. Imagine how awesome this would have been as a series centered around Cyrus or even Dennis with an episode dedicated to catching each ghost.
For a time if you looked it up, it would lead to the website promoting the movie and you could find the stories behind each ghost. This movie scared me so much as a child I had to see if it was real. All for the movie... But very interesting writing. Could use a second (or third rather) swing at it!
God the art of the ghosts and the makeup is so cool. The way they incorporate the backstory into the design is so clever and it may be awful but goooood. I’m a sucker.
This is why being up at 2:30 in the morning is a good thing, you get a GG movie review to accompany work projects. I always thought the ghosts needed more screen time, they were all so different and scary
What do you think about the "theory" that Silas didn't even need Arthur as a failsafe anymore - since Dennis ultimately sacrificed himself while in the house? I didn't even realize that until I was rewatching the film last year, lol. First video I've seen of yours and already a fan!
@@scottball2796I mean a sacrifice for love is selfish as well. Its not like you're sacrificing yourself for someone you hate after all you're doing it because you're ranking your kids being happy above you being alive in your priorities but they are still YOUR priorities and wants. Its possible learning to love yourself might somehow qualify although yeah I doubt it. But either choice still has an element of selfishness either way they're just good productive kinds of selfish lol
This, Ghost Ship, House on Haunted Hill, and the Haunting all had that weird 90s flashing light editing, plus the fact that they're remakes of classic 50s horror movies and iconic novels. There's something so appealing to me about these movies, and I think it's how much work the creative teams put into them that we as the audience barely see. It's fascinating stuff, and I'd love to see you keep watching this vein of movie.
I watched all their back stories on RUclips years back and it made the film so much more effective. They really should have had an explanation for each ghost incorporated in the main story.
@@msfs19941 the whole movie is a shell of what it was intended, the original script explained Soo much stuff though dialogue and actions of both characters and the ghosts
Like a lot of other people, 13 Ghosts is a guilty pleasure and reminds me of my childhood. I know it’s not great but it brings me back to simpler times. So glad you’re still making videos on it, high quality and in depth videos at that.
This movie scared me more than any other movie in my life. I was 12 or 13 when I watched it and seeing short shots of it still gives me immense anxiety. Love this movie
13 ghost is my guilty pleasure, The ghost and lore behind them is amazing writing and work. The plot is also pretty good so sad it’s directed and executed so poorly 😂 this is one of those movies that can possibly get a remake ONLY if they do the ghost justice and ditch the high tech glasses shit.
Funnily enough, it WAS a remake. I adore this movie, though I love the special features explaining the ghosts even more. I agree with GG on the flaws, but it just gives me a feeling no other movie does.
2:38 Wait, the writings are on a mirror and the text on MistaGG's shirt during the shots where he's "behind" the writings are mirrored. Were those segments shot through the mirror's reflection for that illusion? That's actually genius.
You’d think a movie named thirteen ghosts would spend most of the time on the ghosts. I love movies that have interesting character designs that tie into the lore. I would have been cool for it to be the focus.
The vision was to show he knew he was going to die, but he knew it would be protecting someone. He also felt he deserved it because catching those spirits was moraly wrong. It was him repenting for helping sylis. His spirit was smiling at the end was him being freed along with the spirits he helped capture. I thought it was beautiful lol.
Such a great video! I’m glad you gave the backstory of each ghost. I remember reading about them on Wikipedia or IMDb after watching the movie as an adult and thinking how interesting they were. It’s so disappointing to think of all the potential this movie had if they had included all the ghosts’ backstories in it. You should do a video about another one of these types of remakes at the time House on Haunted Hill. It was actually a pretty fun movie. Also Matthew Lillard is a treasure.
I'm dying of laughter with the parts playing the dad. Is it wrong I went back and watched just those parts over again. And over again. I'm crying from laughing so hard.
was mid watch into your cube video and it just got taken down lol, a minute before i was thinking to myself how crazy it was that you had so much audio from the movie in the video lmao
I resonate with you on this. When I first saw 13 Ghosts, I was enthralled by the ghosts and went down a rabbit hole of reading about them. I really wish we got material just about them, their lives and their capture. Make it some dark DC comic or something. Gimme the ghosts!
It honestly still is one of my favorites for a combination of the nostalgia, the character designs of the ghosts, and, most crucially, the contrasting combination of the gruesomely cool scene of the front half of the lawyer sliding down the glass cutting him in half and the ridiculously silly "did the lawyer split?" line.
This movie completely terrified me as a kid. This and Ghost Ship haunted me for years, and I love seeing just how goofy both of those movies really are now.
This is the earliest movie i can think of that gave me nightmares. Even now, today, it's still unnerving to me Btw while i fully agree we need more ghosts, in this ghost movie. the editing of the ghosts movement is what makes the ghosts scary. The jittery jumps with the flashes builds anxiety and looks unnatural. You can see they slow down the cuts when you need to see the action but it speeds up when theres unnecessary movements. Its actually genius, the director is the idiot who decided not to show the ghosts
Cabin in the Woods did the exact same thing with having a ton of curses or whatever and what do they choose to focus on hillbilly cannibals. There were so many other cool monsters that just didn't get a lime light in that movie. I was very much disappointed in the lack of lore.
wha...? But all the monsters in that film were direct references to monsters in other films/media, that was the whole point. You don't need lore, the films they reference exist!
@@paultapping9510okay and how did they get them? If it’s film and media and that film and media exists how did they catch them? What others do they have. They again left a lot to be craved because it’s mostly left to a cgi blob fight with the elevators and an Easter egg of a white board. They went the easiest route possible with it.
@mellysomething6296 can you imagine the licencing nightmare that using anything other than snippets of (definitely not) other franchises would create? But legal stuff aside, what your asking for would result in either a bloated unsatisfying mess of a movie due to not being able to give each monster the screentime it deserves, or effectively a cinematic universe which for the above legal reasons could never happen. Look how hard Freddy Vs. Jason was to make for evidence of that. While it also left me wanting more, imagining scenarios in this universe and so forth, I don't think it's particularly fair to call the film lazy.
@@paultapping9510they could have gotten around licensing with mock ups of them. Instead of typical zombie family. And a bloated mess? I’d rather a bloated mess than a run of the mill play by play horror disguising itself as high brow because it’s “aware” I would’ve fathered the focus be in the facility as opposed to the cabin. If you think the only way to not have a bloated film is to basically make it exactly like every other film regardless of “satire” means you like run of the mill garbage and that’s fine. I however would like a little more. Could’ve easily cut out Jules making out with the wolf, the weird sexy dance after the basement, the stupid double mirror peeping Tom scene. Etc to actually I don’t know WORLD BUILD. 😂 Jesus you’re not hard to please huh?
@@mellysomethingcleverThe world was already built. We already knew the stories for the different monsters. We watched the movies they were in and tell their stories around the campfire. Besides putting anymore focus on any other monster would have also meant it had to be given a bigger role in the movie. That would have detracted from the point of the movie. It's not like Thirteen Ghost where all of the ghosts are already an important part, most of the monsters in the movie don't matter, the only exceptions being the zombie family and the mermen. The ballerina and the stand in for Pinhead kind of do too, but not so much they can't be easily switched with a different monster.
You probably get this all the time, but I absolutely love the direction you've taken your channel since I've started watching you (i.e Predator chronicles). It seems like you've found something you like doing and talking about and it translates. Your content is very enjoyable and I agree 100% that shaggy carried this movie, this use to be one of my favorites growing up. Sorry not sorry, he will forever and always be shaggy to me. Looking forward to the next video.
he will always be Stu from Scream to me, i only learned he played Shaggy like,,, 2 years ago, idk why i never made that connection. which was weird bc Stu was one of my biggest teen crushes lol
My family had this movie on VHS, and I swear as a kid I was so freaked out by the cover that it literally took me like, 15 years to actually watch the movie 🤣 It was honestly great though, Matthew Lillard is a joy to watch
This is my favorite horror movie I would like to see a 13 episode mini series on each ghost origins, the movie was good that it didn't over expose the ghost it let people come up with their own lore.
I saw this movie on an Acid trip in a mostly empty theater with my best friend... freaked us out lol it was a hilarious time trying to leave the theater. It was before cell phones and we had to use a pay phone trying to get someone to come drive my car lolol I can remember it like it was yesterday ..sigh❤️
Their were cell phones they existed since the 90's heck when this movie came out my dad owned a cell phone but I suppose a teenager of the 00's couldn't afford one lol🫠
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 yeah the average younger person damn sure didn't have one since the early cell phone bills were hundreds and also charged minutes on top. So chill with correcting grown folks' experiences lol
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 Most adults couldn't afford them, either, when I went to college my mom gave me her "car phone" that had to be plugged into the lighter, but calling on it was so expensive that she insisted it was only for emergencies. That was 1999. Regular cell phones became more common somewhere between 2001-2002, I remember it distinctly because I started a sales job in 2002 and was still excited the job included a phone.
The guy who played the jackal was a coworker of mine at a restaurant in a smallish town in Ontario years ago, around the time that movie came out. I don’t think he acts anymore but he was the nicest dude and a real pleasure to work with. He also plays the dude who gets sacrificed in the Canadian movie Weirdsville. Just some neat fact, why he lived here while trying to become a known actor was never explained to me.
I've watched this so many times. One of my faves...and I just noticed that GG mentions the Jackal takes Cathy after everyone splits up. Then asks who took "grown ass Cathy?" later on. Just a thing I noticed. I'm a noticer.
I absolutely agree and wish they had spent more time revealing the ghosts back story. I felt this exact way towards the Cabin in the woods villains, I thought alot of them seemed really interesting and was half expecting a spin off about at least a couple of them. Anyways, really appreciate this deep dive. :)
I loved going into the lore of this movie and the ghosts as a kid. I’d go through the special features and “study” them so I knew the backstory of all of them… over 20 years later and I still remember a lot of them
Thank you so much for the seizure warning!! Not alot of people would bother with that so I appreciate you and your editing team for taking that into consideration!!! Much love
I love how deep you went into this movie. The lore is insane and I wouldn’t have known about all of it if i had just watched. Now i wanna watch this movie after seeing your videooooo
I loved this movie. Definitely agree that it would have been better to have the ghosts' backstories in the movie. Great video, mate. My hat's off to you and your editor. And, as always, I look forward to your next video. Cheers. 🍻
Not watched the video yet, but one of my favorite youtubers is talking about one of my favorite horror films - this can only go up from 100%. \o/ Let's do this.
I love Thirteen Ghosts, it brings back memories! I also loved that they put in that fake history stuff on the menu so that you can learn more about all of the ghosts, where they came from, how they died and how they ended up where they are now. ❤
Thank you for making this video. Since I was a kid I loved the ghost's stories and makeups and always wished that something more was done with them. Now everyone can know how awesome they are!!
I wish they did like a movie series or tv show or novels or literally any other long form of media for 13 Ghost! I remember watching it and being really confused just in general and figured there wouldn't be any more lore if it wasn't put in the movie. Knowing that the ghost had intricate backstories makes me wish they did more with it!
I need your energy in my life, bruv. Something about your cheerful demeanor makes me feel like the world is not such a sucky place after all. Keep on keeping on! Don't ever change!
One of my favourite movies! And I couldnt agree withe you more! They had an awesome idea, and awesome makeup and prosthetics but then just did everything possible to hide them and their stories. I was obsessed withe the ghosts and drew them as a teenager and got the DVD to see their stories and would flush it out in my imagination. Instead of remaking movies that were already great and "ruining" them. How about they remake this movie and make it better!!!

When ever I mention Lillard as one of m favourite under used actors I've been laughed at, I guess small PERFECTLY executed roles don't wow the public.
Wow. Great story. Had no idea he was such a great guy.
He is such a great guy, that is why they made him the real life Shaggy, because he takes his roles seriously, and is such a likeable guy.
FNAF fans are ecstatic rn!
Matthew lillard and Brendan Fraser are two older actors I would be devastated if anything bad came out about them!
Man if this whole concept was handed over to a Japanese horror survival game company in the early 2000s we could've gotten a sick ass game

Something I noticed while watching this video is that the Hammer didn’t act aggressive towards the nanny even when she got up close to the glass, he just looked at her, but when Matthew Lillards character does this the hammer reacted violently. I think this is because the nanny, like him, is black so he didn’t see her as an enemy.
What I thought 2 wanted 2 really know his back story
Or……hear me out.. maybe it’s because Matthew put him in the cage
Could even be that she might've reminded him of his wife. Even as an enraged ghost, I'd be pretty chill too if someone came along who even partially resembled a person I used to care for.
@@WhoIsKe😂😂
I think he was a gentleman through and through before his family was stolen from him, and wouldn't have harmed someone he didn't have a soul-burning grudge against. He's happy to beat the tar out of Dennis and throw Cyrus into the spinning blades at the end. He was also fine with going after Arthur. What I wanted to see was how he would react if he came upon Kalina or Arthur's kids. Violence is supposed to be all he and the other ghosts know, so how would he react to them? So many interesting what ifs to explore.

I would recomend taking Mirtazapin. Only medication that acctualy made me drowsy without any major side effects. I have been taking it for two years now and can definitely say it brought my life in order again.
I think the idea that Matthews character knew he was going to die, but went through with it anyway to help him. It was also a way of redeeming himself for helping a millionaire capture a bunch of souls for a evil purpose all just for money. He could've used his pshycic powers for good but instead used them to make a quick buck. The decision to go against everything he helped create to put a wrench in the evil dude's plan and save a family while he was at it was the ultimate redemption. Was also kinda symbolic he died by the ghosts he helped capture.
I got that, too
He also told the lawyer he was checking the breakers, and was killed, namely his back broken, by the guy known as The Breaker.
I see what you mean, but isn’t capturing the ghosts, even if for a selfish reason, an overall positive outcome? Now they’re stuck in the house and can’t hurt anyone.
@@GLORIOUSCHONK That is actually awesome, I can't believe it hadn't clicked in my head until reading your comment.
Cabin in the woods was like a spiritual succession to this movie for me..... Explaining a bit more about the backstory of monster characters in the film. Both super fun films
As a kid when my parents brought this DVD home in a box from a garage sale the cover scared me. Watching it the premise terrified me. Then when I got to the end I literally lost all my fear of ghosts irl. This movie was truly perspective altering for me.
This movie still has a special place in my heart, I first saw it when I was like 13 and at the beginning of my "edgy" phase. I remember googling the Black Tarot afterwards and being absolutely gutted it wasn't a real thing. I mean, admittedly I was 13 and dumb, but it says something that the lore was so intricate and cool that it just made sense to me that this must be based on a "real" legend or something. So much missed potential it still makes me sad. Imagine how awesome this would have been as a series centered around Cyrus or even Dennis with an episode dedicated to catching each ghost.
For a time if you looked it up, it would lead to the website promoting the movie and you could find the stories behind each ghost. This movie scared me so much as a child I had to see if it was real. All for the movie... But very interesting writing. Could use a second (or third rather) swing at it!
it's called the Black Zodiac
God the art of the ghosts and the makeup is so cool. The way they incorporate the backstory into the design is so clever and it may be awful but goooood. I’m a sucker.
This is why being up at 2:30 in the morning is a good thing, you get a GG movie review to accompany work projects. I always thought the ghosts needed more screen time, they were all so different and scary
Absolutely, my sleep schedule is...
Wait, what was I saying again?
@@Stampybampyidk bro my brain stopped at 12 pm
@@Tw0Dots I’m lucky my brain functions enough to get any work done lol
Saaame, that’s what made me upset the first time I saw it
Matthew Lillard is literally the best. He chews the god damned scenery in this movie, making it a guilty pleasure movie for me. I love him ❤
What do you think about the "theory" that Silas didn't even need Arthur as a failsafe anymore - since Dennis ultimately sacrificed himself while in the house? I didn't even realize that until I was rewatching the film last year, lol. First video I've seen of yours and already a fan!
Wasnt it meant to be a sacrifice for love? Dennis was a sacrifice for redemption which is selfish in a small way
@@scottball2796I mean a sacrifice for love is selfish as well. Its not like you're sacrificing yourself for someone you hate after all you're doing it because you're ranking your kids being happy above you being alive in your priorities but they are still YOUR priorities and wants.
Its possible learning to love yourself might somehow qualify although yeah I doubt it. But either choice still has an element of selfishness either way they're just good productive kinds of selfish lol
This, Ghost Ship, House on Haunted Hill, and the Haunting all had that weird 90s flashing light editing, plus the fact that they're remakes of classic 50s horror movies and iconic novels. There's something so appealing to me about these movies, and I think it's how much work the creative teams put into them that we as the audience barely see. It's fascinating stuff, and I'd love to see you keep watching this vein of movie.
I watched all their back stories on RUclips years back and it made the film so much more effective. They really should have had an explanation for each ghost incorporated in the main story.
As a sister QueenB, I agree! 😄👍
I saw the same video. It was so thorough and well made. Definitely game me chills and added to the movie.
But they did
@@scottsmith1349 not a proper one. It was so glossed over
@@msfs19941 the whole movie is a shell of what it was intended, the original script explained Soo much stuff though dialogue and actions of both characters and the ghosts
Like a lot of other people, 13 Ghosts is a guilty pleasure and reminds me of my childhood. I know it’s not great but it brings me back to simpler times. So glad you’re still making videos on it, high quality and in depth videos at that.
15:24 aged like fine wine
This movie scared me more than any other movie in my life. I was 12 or 13 when I watched it and seeing short shots of it still gives me immense anxiety. Love this movie
13 ghost is my guilty pleasure, The ghost and lore behind them is amazing writing and work. The plot is also pretty good so sad it’s directed and executed so poorly 😂 this is one of those movies that can possibly get a remake ONLY if they do the ghost justice and ditch the high tech glasses shit.
Funnily enough, it WAS a remake.
I adore this movie, though I love the special features explaining the ghosts even more.
I agree with GG on the flaws, but it just gives me a feeling no other movie does.
if it was made now with an amazing horror director imagine the masterpiece we could’ve gotten? but also i love the actors in the original so much 🤪
"High tech" lol the glasses were part of the 1960s film!!! They gave you red 3d glasses at the theater and without them you couldn't see the ghosts.
@@16driver16 you could see them, just not very well. you could remove them with the blue lense though
@@arctrog I forgot how it worked apparently
2:38 Wait, the writings are on a mirror and the text on MistaGG's shirt during the shots where he's "behind" the writings are mirrored. Were those segments shot through the mirror's reflection for that illusion? That's actually genius.
I figured that out too! We're all so clever.
You’d think a movie named thirteen ghosts would spend most of the time on the ghosts. I love movies that have interesting character designs that tie into the lore. I would have been cool for it to be the focus.
“It’s probably what your mom tripped over when she was trying to escape” 😂😂😂😂😂 im HOWLING 😂
The backstories of each ghost is scarier than the entire movie.
The absolutely lethal roast of Bobby at the end would have been enough to have the kid change places with his Mom's un-aliving 💀💀💀
We need a series about the backstory of each ghost
Was thinking about that but how to tie it to "old" movie?
@@Goblintommaybe how they were captured ? That’s a good thought
there's no series but i think you can find the backstories of each ghost here on youtube. it's a special feature if you buy the bluray dvd
Yessss I just made this same comment!
There is one! Search 13 ghost backstories in the youtube search bar .
The vision was to show he knew he was going to die, but he knew it would be protecting someone. He also felt he deserved it because catching those spirits was moraly wrong. It was him repenting for helping sylis. His spirit was smiling at the end was him being freed along with the spirits he helped capture. I thought it was beautiful lol.
I also thought he was the “13th” ghost because of that sacrifice
The jokes towards Bobby are hilarious. Especially the subtle stares you do when he’s talking as if you were the dad kills me 😂💀
Such a great video! I’m glad you gave the backstory of each ghost. I remember reading about them on Wikipedia or IMDb after watching the movie as an adult and thinking how interesting they were. It’s so disappointing to think of all the potential this movie had if they had included all the ghosts’ backstories in it. You should do a video about another one of these types of remakes at the time House on Haunted Hill. It was actually a pretty fun movie. Also Matthew Lillard is a treasure.
The way you trash talk Bobby had me laughing so hard this morning. Thank you so much for this 😂
Omg I replayed that at least 5 times, I laughed so hard at that my goodness he is so funny
21:04 Bro, don't apologize I love deep diving into lore and you do a very good job of presenting it and I thoroughly enjoyed what you been explaining.
I'm dying of laughter with the parts playing the dad. Is it wrong I went back and watched just those parts over again. And over again. I'm crying from laughing so hard.
was mid watch into your cube video and it just got taken down lol, a minute before i was thinking to myself how crazy it was that you had so much audio from the movie in the video lmao
Same here lmao I was so confused,that's never happened to me before
I also like the detail of the jackal being afraid of fire thus why he was afraid of the flares
i forgot matthew lillard was in this. this guy always puts 100% into every role hes in :P ill let it slide for sure!
I'm the opposite! he was the only thing I remembered about the movie
@@randomdisplayname the ghosts were the only thing that stuck with me, and i hadnt seen this movie since 2006 :P
I resonate with you on this. When I first saw 13 Ghosts, I was enthralled by the ghosts and went down a rabbit hole of reading about them. I really wish we got material just about them, their lives and their capture. Make it some dark DC comic or something. Gimme the ghosts!
DC? the garbage facility? nah I dont need this movie ruined
I did the same thing!
This used to be one of my favorites when I was younger
Omg same!
Yes! I instantly clicked when I saw it was new upload from GG haha Tony Shalhoub for the win xD
It honestly still is one of my favorites for a combination of the nostalgia, the character designs of the ghosts, and, most crucially, the contrasting combination of the gruesomely cool scene of the front half of the lawyer sliding down the glass cutting him in half and the ridiculously silly "did the lawyer split?" line.
Been a fan for too long for me to not donate a little bit. Love your content, MistaGG, you deserve a million subs and more!
Keep it up 💙
thank you!!
I’m so glad Matthew Lillard is coming back to horror this year, I can’t wait to see him in the FNAF movie
Mathew Lillard is a king man, honestly he is probably the reason i love the scooby doo live action 2000 movies
This movie completely terrified me as a kid. This and Ghost Ship haunted me for years, and I love seeing just how goofy both of those movies really are now.
This is the earliest movie i can think of that gave me nightmares.
Even now, today, it's still unnerving to me
Btw while i fully agree we need more ghosts, in this ghost movie. the editing of the ghosts movement is what makes the ghosts scary. The jittery jumps with the flashes builds anxiety and looks unnatural.
You can see they slow down the cuts when you need to see the action but it speeds up when theres unnecessary movements. Its actually genius, the director is the idiot who decided not to show the ghosts
Seriously, can we get a mini-series with these ghost stories?!# These backstories are fantastic
this clearly took a ton of work. and it shows. great video, great jokes, good edits, 36 mins and no spots to skip through.
I loved this movie as a teen, I love it even more as an adult. It has a special place in my heart
The “can you milk me” and “freak come out at night” refrens is why I love gg so obscure
Reference
i've never agreed with someone so aggressively lmao this is perfect
this movie is delicious garbage😂
Cabin in the Woods did the exact same thing with having a ton of curses or whatever and what do they choose to focus on hillbilly cannibals. There were so many other cool monsters that just didn't get a lime light in that movie. I was very much disappointed in the lack of lore.
wha...? But all the monsters in that film were direct references to monsters in other films/media, that was the whole point. You don't need lore, the films they reference exist!
@@paultapping9510okay and how did they get them? If it’s film and media and that film and media exists how did they catch them? What others do they have.
They again left a lot to be craved because it’s mostly left to a cgi blob fight with the elevators and an Easter egg of a white board.
They went the easiest route possible with it.
@mellysomething6296 can you imagine the licencing nightmare that using anything other than snippets of (definitely not) other franchises would create?
But legal stuff aside, what your asking for would result in either a bloated unsatisfying mess of a movie due to not being able to give each monster the screentime it deserves, or effectively a cinematic universe which for the above legal reasons could never happen. Look how hard Freddy Vs. Jason was to make for evidence of that.
While it also left me wanting more, imagining scenarios in this universe and so forth, I don't think it's particularly fair to call the film lazy.
@@paultapping9510they could have gotten around licensing with mock ups of them. Instead of typical zombie family.
And a bloated mess? I’d rather a bloated mess than a run of the mill play by play horror disguising itself as high brow because it’s “aware” I would’ve fathered the focus be in the facility as opposed to the cabin.
If you think the only way to not have a bloated film is to basically make it exactly like every other film regardless of “satire” means you like run of the mill garbage and that’s fine. I however would like a little more.
Could’ve easily cut out Jules making out with the wolf, the weird sexy dance after the basement, the stupid double mirror peeping Tom scene. Etc to actually I don’t know WORLD BUILD. 😂
Jesus you’re not hard to please huh?
@@mellysomethingcleverThe world was already built. We already knew the stories for the different monsters. We watched the movies they were in and tell their stories around the campfire.
Besides putting anymore focus on any other monster would have also meant it had to be given a bigger role in the movie. That would have detracted from the point of the movie. It's not like Thirteen Ghost where all of the ghosts are already an important part, most of the monsters in the movie don't matter, the only exceptions being the zombie family and the mermen. The ballerina and the stand in for Pinhead kind of do too, but not so much they can't be easily switched with a different monster.
You probably get this all the time, but I absolutely love the direction you've taken your channel since I've started watching you (i.e Predator chronicles). It seems like you've found something you like doing and talking about and it translates. Your content is very enjoyable and I agree 100% that shaggy carried this movie, this use to be one of my favorites growing up. Sorry not sorry, he will forever and always be shaggy to me. Looking forward to the next video.
He'll always be Cereal from Hackers to me 💜 Although, Brock Hudson from She's All That and Stuart from Scream come close.
he will always be Stu from Scream to me, i only learned he played Shaggy like,,, 2 years ago, idk why i never made that connection. which was weird bc Stu was one of my biggest teen crushes lol
This movie lead me to my love of the horror genre as a kid. Still watch it once in a while😅
An entire movie universe where each ghost gets an origin story. Yes.
Mista GG's ads are the only ones I genuinely watch and don't roll my eyes at. Even when they're not in a rap format
"He was basically prime Shaq but with murderous tendencies" has got to be my favorite line in this video.
I remember this one of the first horror movies that help me overcome my fear of scary movies as a kid. What a journey
My family had this movie on VHS, and I swear as a kid I was so freaked out by the cover that it literally took me like, 15 years to actually watch the movie 🤣 It was honestly great though, Matthew Lillard is a joy to watch
You explained all my feelings of this movie perfectly. I think a mini series with each ep focusing on each ghost would be phenomenal 😭
That 'evil JOIs be like' part will forever have a place in my heart. Thank you 😂
This is my favorite horror movie I would like to see a 13 episode mini series on each ghost origins, the movie was good that it didn't over expose the ghost it let people come up with their own lore.
Is this REALLY your favorite horror movie?!... if it is then... DAMN!!!!! you have horrible taste in films!!!
I saw this movie on an Acid trip in a mostly empty theater with my best friend... freaked us out lol it was a hilarious time trying to leave the theater. It was before cell phones and we had to use a pay phone trying to get someone to come drive my car lolol I can remember it like it was yesterday ..sigh❤️
Their were cell phones they existed since the 90's heck when this movie came out my dad owned a cell phone but I suppose a teenager of the 00's couldn't afford one lol🫠
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 yeah the average younger person damn sure didn't have one since the early cell phone bills were hundreds and also charged minutes on top. So chill with correcting grown folks' experiences lol
@@DarlingMissDarlingassuming they arent grown..
@@Tw0Dots try deductive reasoning.
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 Most adults couldn't afford them, either, when I went to college my mom gave me her "car phone" that had to be plugged into the lighter, but calling on it was so expensive that she insisted it was only for emergencies. That was 1999. Regular cell phones became more common somewhere between 2001-2002, I remember it distinctly because I started a sales job in 2002 and was still excited the job included a phone.
Your skits always have me bursting out laughing. This movie could have been amazing. Matthew is great in every movie I have seen him act in
I love that they chose him for fnaf
The guy who played the jackal was a coworker of mine at a restaurant in a smallish town in Ontario years ago, around the time that movie came out. I don’t think he acts anymore but he was the nicest dude and a real pleasure to work with. He also plays the dude who gets sacrificed in the Canadian movie Weirdsville. Just some neat fact, why he lived here while trying to become a known actor was never explained to me.
A lot of people don't make it in the industry
The last three though killed so many people. The way she said there names in fear "The Hammer...The Jeckle...and The Juggernaute." Pure fear
I've watched this so many times. One of my faves...and I just noticed that GG mentions the Jackal takes Cathy after everyone splits up. Then asks who took "grown ass Cathy?" later on. Just a thing I noticed. I'm a noticer.
I absolutely agree and wish they had spent more time revealing the ghosts back story. I felt this exact way towards the Cabin in the woods villains, I thought alot of them seemed really interesting and was half expecting a spin off about at least a couple of them.
Anyways, really appreciate this deep dive. :)
I loved going into the lore of this movie and the ghosts as a kid. I’d go through the special features and “study” them so I knew the backstory of all of them… over 20 years later and I still remember a lot of them
Thank you so much for the seizure warning!! Not alot of people would bother with that so I appreciate you and your editing team for taking that into consideration!!! Much love
I love how deep you went into this movie. The lore is insane and I wouldn’t have known about all of it if i had just watched. Now i wanna watch this movie after seeing your videooooo
Ngl GG, you're cool for making the sponsor a chapter. It's in hand with a moving slider at the bottom on other videos, and I respect it. Tootles.
This is why I got it on DVD. Being able to see the other ghost and their stories was awesome.
I loved this movie. Definitely agree that it would have been better to have the ghosts' backstories in the movie.
Great video, mate. My hat's off to you and your editor. And, as always, I look forward to your next video. Cheers. 🍻
Not watched the video yet, but one of my favorite youtubers is talking about one of my favorite horror films - this can only go up from 100%. \o/ Let's do this.
I love Thirteen Ghosts, it brings back memories! I also loved that they put in that fake history stuff on the menu so that you can learn more about all of the ghosts, where they came from, how they died and how they ended up where they are now. ❤
The red hair lady who is with the villain, it's Ms honey from Mathilda! I just noticed it 😂It's great they are here!
Thanks MistaGG for giving me something to watch in my last 2 hours of work.
Thank you for making this video. Since I was a kid I loved the ghost's stories and makeups and always wished that something more was done with them. Now everyone can know how awesome they are!!
Completely agree with you. The concept for each ghost, the black tarot and entire lore of the movie is interesting af. The movie itself? Not so much.
33:35 I have a theory that the gap in the ghosts was either the torso and he was too short to be in the shot haha
I wish they did like a movie series or tv show or novels or literally any other long form of media for 13 Ghost! I remember watching it and being really confused just in general and figured there wouldn't be any more lore if it wasn't put in the movie. Knowing that the ghost had intricate backstories makes me wish they did more with it!
The fact that it left almost everyone who watched it wanting an entire tv series is why it’s so good.
Glad you're finally covering this, I just got done watching your Ghost Ship video and this is perfect combo to end the night with.
The “Evil JOI” 2 second bit made me laugh way harder than it should have…
I need your energy in my life, bruv.
Something about your cheerful demeanor makes me feel like the world is not such a sucky place after all.
Keep on keeping on! Don't ever change!
Just in the brief moment where his son is reading the Herald, you succinctly captured my feelings for the character.
This is the most Wendigoon video that GG has ever made, and I'm here for all of it 🤣
This still is one of my favorite movies ever. I know the flaws but its Monk and Shaggy fighting ghosts!
Agreed.
@MistaGG you forgot to mention that’s the house is in honor to the The Lament Configuration (puzzle box) from Hellraiser.
"That's probably what your mom tripped over, trying to escape."
1980s parents be like
One of my favourite movies! And I couldnt agree withe you more! They had an awesome idea, and awesome makeup and prosthetics but then just did everything possible to hide them and their stories. I was obsessed withe the ghosts and drew them as a teenager and got the DVD to see their stories and would flush it out in my imagination.
Instead of remaking movies that were already great and "ruining" them. How about they remake this movie and make it better!!!
