Svengoolie Classic Horror & Sci-fi Movie: ‘13 Ghosts’ METV, 8 p.m.
Sven introduces 13 Ghosts (1960), one of producer/director William Castle’s famous gimmicky horror films (it was originally released in theaters using a process Castle dubbed “Illusion-o” that allowed audiences wearing special glasses to see enhanced images of the movie’s ghostly scenes).
