Yes! I remember that one! One of the better episodes if I recall. Did Crusher and Riker have a make-out scene?

Just read your review of Psycho II. Good stuff, man! Very insightful, as always! And I like the picture frame you found of the poster art, that's wicked! The more you point out Meg Tilley's presence, the more I change my mind. I do still think some of her line delivery early on in the film is awkward and unconvincing (like when she gets off of the pay phone with her boyfriend), but in retrospect, that's a small portion of her acting in the film, and she did balance back out soon after. I've always had a crush on her but tried to keep that separate..kind of like Norman does. Oh yeah, and "c-uu-tlery!" Hilarious line!

I made that in Photoshop. I took the base photo and then applied a dry brush filter to make it look like a painting. Then I find a photo of an old frame and re-sized both photos to match. Then I layered one photo over the other. Finally I took the Psycho II logo from a movie poster and cropped it down and blended it over the frame. Took way too long!

I didn't know that. I'll have to check out Matinee and see. I'm working on another William Castle review right now. I'm digging his movies
Not a blockbuster - but it is memorable as it captures a snapshot of a particular era: the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, duck-and-cover, Atomic-mutation-B-sci-fi movie era. And how all that serves as the backdrop for a movie theater and the horror movies it shows.
It's a movie that appeals particularly to film history buffs, people who lived through the era and experienced being a kid at that time, and fans of the black and white low budget sci-fi movies (like many of the ones you review here).

Director: William Castle
Writer: Robb White
Cast: Charles Herbert, Jo Morrow, Martin Milner, Rosemary DeCamp, Margaret Hamilton
Genre: B Horror
A family who's strapped for cash, learns from a lawyer that a long lost uncle has left them an old Victorian house. The uncle has collected 12 ghost from around the world and brought them to the old mansion. The family must live there, to keep from losing ownership. In a mysterious box is a special pair of goggles which allows the viewer to see the spirit world.
William Castle was a producer and director who in the 1950s & 1960s made some really good B horror films that relied on his showmanship to sell his movies to the audience.
13 Ghost has a gimmick that is quite fun! The movie is black and white, but during 'ghost sightings' the film is shot in blue and the ghost in red. The actor on the screen puts on his spectral googles to see the ghost, as the screen says 'Use Viewer'. The Viewer was given away to everybody as they entered the theater. If you look through the red lens you see the ghost and if you look through the blue lens they disappear. It was a neat addition to the film and hey the ghost look pretty cool this way.
The story is a standard family trapped in a haunted house, only with a twist. The ghost each have their own story, though we only learn of a few of them, like the lion tamer who's head was eaten by the lion. Then there's a fortune hidden in the house and someone is after it.
As a double bonus there's the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz, Margret Hamilton...and she's called a witch by the child of the family too. Charles Herbert the child actor gets top billing! He was a star at the time and had been in The Grapes of Wrath and was the kid who Gene Tierney took for a boat ride in Leave Her to Heaven.
Oh there's a pretty girl too and Martin Miller plays the shady lawyer. Fun stuff!

So how does this gimmick work when you watch the movie now on DVD without the viewer?
Do you see anything different than in a "normal" movie?

Good question...I really wished I had the viewer too, but it's not needed.

That's kind of cool, but I wonder what you would see if you used those cheap 3D glasses that 7-11 gives out for some special TV events. (I still have some of them.)

You have to look through either the blue or the red lens but not both so the 3D glasses would just look weird! But could be fun
