Mumbai, October 16, 2006… The only thing worse than being
trapped in a house with a ghost... is being trapped in a house with
13 ghosts!!! There are ghosts around us all the time. Most of them
don't want to hurt us. But, there are exceptions! With Halloween
around the corner, Star Movies presents a tricky treat of horrifying
thrillers with Hallow Scream all through the month. Tune in this
Wednesday, October 18th at 11 p.m. to watch "Thirt13en Ghosts"
and you might have to think twice before sleeping alone!
Thirt13en Ghosts is a state-of-the-art remake of the classic William
Castle horror film about a family that inherits a spectacular old
house from an eccentric uncle. There's just one problem: the house
seems to have a dangerous agenda all its own. Arthur and his two
children, Kathy and Bobby, inherit his Uncle Cyrus's estate: a glass
house that serves as a prison to 12 ghosts. When the family, accompanied
by Bobby's Nanny and an attorney, enter the house they find themselves
trapped inside an evil machine "designed by the devil and powered
by the dead" to open the Eye of Hell.
Trapped in their new home by strangely shifting walls, the family
encounters powerful and vengeful entities that threaten to annihilate
anyone in their path. Soon the family is joined by an offbeat ghost
hunter who is determined to free the spirits imprisoned in the house.
Caught in a frantic race to save themselves before it is too late,
the human inhabitants realize the house is a riddle which contains
the key to their imminent salvation - or destruction.
Directed by Steve Beck and produced by Joel Silver, Dan Cracchiolo,
Gil Adler and Robert Zemeckis this movie stars F. Murray Abraham,
Tony Shalhoub, Shannon Elizabeth, Kathryn Anderson, J.R. Bourne,
Embeth Davidtz, Rah Digga, Matthew Lillard and Alec Roberts.
So don't forget to tune in to this Halloween Special film "Thirt13en
Ghosts", this Wednesday, October 18th at 11 p.m. only on Star
Movies.
