I unabashedly love both Dark Castle's Thir13en Ghosts from 2001 and the William Castle 13 Ghosts from 1960 in "Illusion-o." I even own a pair of the 3D glasses given out in theaters for 13 Ghosts, so trust me when I say that I'm super excited for the possibility of a Thirteen Ghosts series!
Patrick Mediate, Ashley Robinson and Aaron McLane are producers at Primordial Pictures who have partnered with Dark Castle Entertainment in hopes of bringing a Thirteen Ghosts series to life. In the Dark Castle film, the house was as big of a character as the leads or ghosts, and that is the plan for the new series, but they're taking it to a whole new level:
“Fans of the 2001 remake of Thirteen Ghosts will remember Cyrus’ large glass house was a centerpiece of the storyline. Our version ups the ante (and the scale of things). What once was a mansion...

When it was released back in 2001, Dark Castle Entertainment’s remake Thirteen Ghosts (stylized as Thir13en Ghosts) didn’t exactly set the box office on fire, scaring up just $68 million worldwide on a sizable production budget of $42 million. Reviews for the film were also largely negative at the time, making it both a financial as well as a critical misfire.
But the times, well, they have changed. Like many horror movies over the years, director Steve Beck’s Thirteen Ghosts has been re-evaluated in the two decades since its original theatrical release, becoming something of a fan favorite here in 2023. Fans have come to appreciate the gruesome effects, the big budget production design, and the titular monsters themselves, which came equipped with their own backstories thanks to a DVD special feature that we’ve written about in the past. And it’s safe to say Dark Castle has noticed this renewed interest.

A few days ago, Dread Central learned that Patrick Mediate of Primordial Pictures, The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead VFX supervisor Aaron McLane, and Ashley Robinson, a co-producer of Fear the Walking Dead, are teaming up with Dark Castle Entertainment to develop and pitch a TV series inspired by William Castle‘s 1960 classic 13 Ghosts and its 2001 remake.

The plan is that the 13 Ghosts series would consist of thirteen episodes.
