Setting me off again! As Lincoln realized, not only where virtually all 3D
movies released as polaroid, not anaglyph, but "13 Ghosts" was not even a 3D
movie! Nor did it make any such claims. In the original release prints, the
ghosts were overprinted in red, and the viewers had a red frame and a blue frame
(not separate lenses, but panels for looking through with both eyes). The idea
was that if you looked one way, you could see the ghosts, but if you were too
frightened, you could look through the other panel and the ghosts would be
invisible. (Television and video release prints forego the color and show the
ghosts in B&W.)
