Entertainingly silly haunted house story made in 1960 with special effects - 13 Ghosts review by PV
I thought this was rather fun. Silly, a bit bonkers and focused on special effects which are good for 1960. Apparently the flashing sequences and strobes can cause seizures which reviews in 1960 stated.
A flimsy simple plot and loose ends left but what horror movie does not have a simple flimsy plot?
So I give it 3 stars. I enjoyed it for what it was. Do not overthink it.
I wonder what happened to the boy Buck in real life, played by Alec Roberts.
