‘Thirteen Ghosts’ TV Series Reportedly In The Works

The 2001 horror movie Thirteen Ghosts has maintained a secure place in pop culture over the decades. Now Dark Castle Entertainment is reportedly in the process of pitching a Thirteen Ghosts television series to Sony Pictures Television.

It’s worth noting that the series isn’t officially greenlit at this point. But there have been several conceptual images shared by Patrick Mediate and Aaron McLane via Dread Central. Fans can see the images below which include a teaser poster, concepts for ghosts, a page regarding “spectral viewers,” aka the special glasses required to see ghosts, and other exciting designs.

According to the pitch, it would be “a thirteen-episode run with an ensemble cast where each episode explores the origins of a different ghost.” The following logline goes further into detail:

“Every culture in the world has its ghost stories, and this re-imagining of 13 Ghosts presents an international sampling of these supernatural tales. The ghost stories within each episode will have their own stylistic look and feel that will be explored and influenced by each individual director. This makes our ghost vignettes stand out stylistically as they set the theme for each episode.”

Here are the images:

As mentioned, the film and its potential television series feature “spectral viewers.” Apparently these could be part of a viral marketing element for the show in the form of “a proposed AR component.” This “would allow audiences to download an app and see additional ghosts both on-screen and in their own homes as the series airs.”

In addition to Patrick Mediate and Aaron McLane, Fear the Walking Dead co-producer Ashley Robinson is attached to the series.
