Thir13en Ghosts
When widowed architect Arthur inherits a glass mansion that houses twelve vengeful spirits, he must guide his children out before the malevolent machine inside awakens the Eye of Hell and kills them all.
“Misery loves company.”
Synopsis
Arthur and his two children inherit his uncle's estate, a glass house that serves as a prison to twelve ghosts. When the family, accompanied by a nanny and an attorney, enter the house, they find themselves trapped inside an evil machine "designed by the Devil and powered by the dead" to open the Eye of Hell. Aided by a ghost hunter and his rival, a ghost rights activist out to set the ghosts free, the group must do what they can to get out of the house alive.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 39
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.6× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
