Trivia
In the film, the ghosts are only visible to the human inhabitants of the house if they are wearing special glasses. For the original film from the 1960's, special glasses were distributed because the film was made in such a way that the ghosts were only visible by wearing said glasses. See more...

Directed by Steve Beck, starring Embeth Davidtz, F. Murray Abraham, Matthew Lillard, Shannon Elizabeth, Tony Shalhoub (add more)
Continuity: Near the very beginning of the movie, Arthur (Tony Shaloub) trips over his son's scooter and spills coffee on himself; throughout the scene, the stain keeps changing size and location.
Revealing: When the Lawyer plays the videoclip on the laptop, the stop button is pressed down all the time, instead of the play button.
Continuity: When Rafkin is dressed as the power guy, he goes into the basement, then collapses by a glass screen. Between shots the spells written on the glass screen behind him keep changing back and forth.
Continuity: When Rafkin enters the study where the Lawyer and Arthur are, he puts his toolbelt on the table. During following shots, it constantly changes position.
Continuity: When Kathy enters her bedroom she falls backwards onto her bed. In one shot her head is resting on an all-white pillow, yet in the next closeup her head is now resting on a white pillow with gold tassels attached to it.
Other: When Maggie puts the "magic" glasses for the first time, you can see that the light in the right (left to us) lens sparks and then turns off. In the next scene it works fine.
Continuity: When Kathy is sitting on the bathtub, washing her face in front of the Angry Princess, blood stains around the bathtub, near the drain, keep disappearing, reappearing etc.
Continuity: When Kathy is sitting on the bathtub, washing her face in front of the Angry Princess, how far rolled up her sleeves are changes, depending on the shot.
Continuity: When Arthur gets mad, he picks up a wooden chair and starts banging the glass. In one shot the actual seat part of the chair flies off, yet in the next frontal shot it is still attached.
Continuity: When Dennis points to the wiritng and says "these are containment spells," the actual handwriting he is pointing at is totally different between shots.
Continuity: When The Jackal throws Kathy up against the glass, we see Arthur drop Bobby's tape recorder in a frontal shot. Yet in a shot from behind as he begins to run, the tape recorded has now vanished.
Factual error: When The Jackal attacks Kathy, it holds her up against the glass with one hand. It then begins to swipe her with both hands, but she still stays up against the glass.
Continuity: When Kathy is attacked by the Jackal, he claws at her right breast and it falls out of the bra. In the next shot her breast is back in the bra perfectly.
Continuity: When Kalina is climbing through the hole, she gets the flare off of Arthur. However when The Hammer escapes and bounds down the hallway toward Arthur, Arthur is suddenly holding a new lit flare.
Visible crew/equipment: During the scene in the library when Matthew Lillard is forced to tell the husband who the 13th ghost is, you can see the directors' face through the glass wall that the husband's laying against in a couple different shots within the scene.
Continuity: After Kalina whacks Maggie with the book, her glasses change from crooked to straight between shots.
Continuity: When we see Arthur counting the ghosts on his fingers, he has a silver ring on (his left hand.) However when the house is exploding, we see him huddled with Kathy and Bobby, and his left hand has no ring on.
Revealing: When Arthur hits Cyrus at the end, Cyrus flies back and hits the floor. The floor is meant to be solid and sturdy, yet clealy wobbles when Cyrus hits.
Continuity: When Arthur hits Cyrus at the end, as Cyrus flies back you can see Bobby's scooter standing up, behind him. This has just suddenly appeared out of nowhere...
