Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Kathy is sitting on the bathtub, washing her face in front of the Angry Princess, how far rolled up her sleeves are changes, depending on the shot. (00:36:20)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: At the end when all the ghosts are gathered, it shows them rotating. After the counting, some ghosts change position. The torn prince first stands next to the angry princess, but later they are a few places away from each other, just like the horrible child and the dire mother.

Continuity mistake: When Kathy is attacked by the Jackal, he claws at her right breast and it falls out of the bra. In the next shot her breast is back in the bra perfectly. (00:49:00)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Rafkin enters the study where the Lawyer and Arthur are, he puts his toolbelt on the table. During following shots, it constantly changes position. (00:27:35)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: Cyrus gets thrown onto the slicing wheels and his body parts scatter. We see where his torso is in an overhead shot, but in one side shot of the room his torso has vanished from the same spot. When this happens, not a single drop of blood manages to hit the kidnapped siblings, despite the fact that a man was just dismembered just a few feet above their heads. With nothing stopping such a bloody mess from happening, the pair should not be as clean as they are. The machine is also free of blood. (01:20:05)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Arthur hits Cyrus at the end, as Cyrus flies back you can see Bobby's scooter standing up, behind him. This has just suddenly appeared out of nowhere... (01:18:35)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Kathy is sitting on the bathtub, washing her face in front of the Angry Princess, blood stains around the bathtub near the drain keep disappearing and reappearing. (00:36:15)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When the truck crashes through the gate you can see there is nothing on the front bumper other than two fog lights. But when they start spraying blood there are nozzles attached to each end of the bumper. (00:01:10)

Hamster

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)

Hamster

Rafkin: There are ghosts in the basement.
Maggie: This basement?
Rafkin: Of course this basement! What is it with you people? If it was the basement next door I wouldn't give a shit, would I?

More quotes from Thirteen Ghosts

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.
