13 Ghosts (1960)
7/10
Imagine if Rod Serling became the writer/producer for Leave it to Beaver

I will describe "13 Ghosts" this way – imagine if Rod Serling (Twilight Zone) became the writer for "Leave it to Beaver". "13 Ghosts" might be an example of the end product. The father wears his Mr. Rogers sweater over his white-collared shirt. The mother has an overly rigid hairdo that is very fitting for the June Cleaver type. The little boy who, although he never says it, has "golly gee" written all over his young, curious face. While there is no older brother named Wally, there is the older sister named Maeda. She is prettier than Wally, so I like her better. As they go about behaving like the average 1960 television family, they are accosted by ghosts.

I love this movie! I love the Zorba family and the haunted house they live in. I love the cheesy ghosts. When movie attendees went to the theater to see his 1960 film "13 Ghosts", they were given a "ghost viewer" (similar to 3D glasses) which allowed them to see the ghosts. Nowsadays, one does not need this ghost viewer to see these phantoms. Nevertheless, I love the whole concept of the ghost viewer
