lovely, silly and funAug 08, 2010 I have been wanting to watch this movie again and it has been years and I must say it has been fun. I want to give you readers a hint of what to do if you do not have a viewer and it is easy. If by chance you have a pair of old style 3 d glasses with the red and blue lenses then you can view the movie as it was in theaters, the effect is silly but fun so look around and get a pair to view this movie the right way. The movie would be great for Halloween nights and perhaps a fun date movie. It is the right kind of horror film for kids as they find it funny. Enjoy it.
13 GHOSTSApr 14, 2010 The only way to view this movie is with a replica pair of Illusion-O "ghost viewers" that were once a part of this DVD package but are no longer available. FEAR NOT, though, if you have this DVD and not the viewers. You can SUBSTITUTE a pair of anaglyph 3-D glasses (red cellophane on left side and blue cellophane of right side of glasses) and when the original illiusion-o sequences of the movie appear...put on your glasses and cover either the blue right-side of glasses TO SEE the ghosts or the cover the red left-side of the glasses if you are a 'fraidy cat and want tot eliminate the ghosts from the screen. These glasses are available thru different sellers on the internet and cheap enough (some pairs under $1) for every member of your family to have a pair. This is a GREAT Wm. Castle "gimmick" movie and I origianlly saw it at the movie theater when I was 10...back in 1960. Enjoy.
A good family Halloween movieMar 17, 2010 I was skeptical but this turned out to be one of my 12 year olds favorites around Halloween. Its got good acting and not too scary for the kids.

Quite good supernatural movie but not great.Oct 15, 2009
Cyrus Zobra (Donald Woods) with wife Medea (Jo Morrow), son Buck (Charles Herbert) and daughter Hilda (Rosemary DeCamp) are your typical LA family as they inheirite a mansion. Cyrus recieves a weird pair of glasses that is said to make people see ghosts and that a relative of his worked in the mansion doing experiments in the supernatural as they soon find out that he wasn't kidding.
Fun haunted house romp from the famed William Castle as originally back in 1960, he created another one of his gimmicks called "Illusion-O" which was a pair of glasses in blue and red that enables people to see ghosts on the screen during at certain times. The film co-stars Margaret Hamlin who is best known as The Wicked Witch from 1939's The Wizard of Oz, i love the movie's premise about a haunted house including the use of glasses to see ghosts as what they really are. Not a classic like "House on Haunted Hill" or "The Haunting" of that time but still a nice piece of spooky entertainment for everyone.
This DVD contains a great transfer and nice quality of sound with extras like a pair of Illusion-O glasses, both Illusion-O and regular versions, a featurette and trailers including to this one.
