Revealing mistake: When the Lawyer plays the videoclip on the laptop, the stop button is pressed down all the time, instead of the play button. (00:14:40)
Revealing mistake: 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. (01:18:35)
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 director's face through the glass wall in the bottom left while they are carrying out the glass panel. (01:01:15)
Rafkin: Oh. Oh, boy.
Maggie: What?
Rafkin: Uh, that's the symbol of the Jackal.
Maggie: What's the Jackal?
Rafkin: The Jackal is the Charlie Manson of ghosts. And if the Jackal's out, screw the kid! We gotta get out of this basement.
Trivia: The only film role of Shawna Loyer, who portrays the "Angry Princess." Because of the character's constant nudity, and the role being Loyer's only credited on-screen performance, for many years, it was believed that Loyer was actually a pornographic actress working under a pseudonym. This rumor was further fueled by the later production of "13 Erotic Ghosts," a porn parody of the film, as people speculated Loyer was also one of the actresses who appeared in it. The rumors have since been disproved. Loyer is not a porn-star working under a pseudonym, nor did she appear in the porn parody.
Question: In the film we see one ghost that is more of a neutral spirit. It is never seen harming anyone and the only time it scares someone is when it walks towards Bobby, but his head is near Bobby. Is the Torso a murderous spirit or not?
Answer: No, it isn't that they're evil, but all were victims of violent crime. They're all tortured souls.
Answer: They all have the potential for danger, however some of them are not dangerous. I would say the Torso is not a murderous spirit, though potentially he could be one.
Suggested correction: Cyrus was an occultist, it is presumed that this video was haunted. That can also explain why he answers what they key is for in the video after someone asks what it's for.
This theory does not hold up because Cyrus is alive. He's just been wearing a prosthetic neck piece with a popped blood pack in it to appear as a ghost the whole time, in case he's seen walking the house during the plan.
