How can the final ghost be seen without the glasses?
At the end of the movie Thir13en Ghosts, is Cyrus a ghost or a real person? If he's a ghost, why can he be seen without the glasses?
Best Answer
That's the point. Arthur taking off the glasses while Cyrus still stays visible shows that Cyrus wasn't a ghost at all. You seem to forget that Cyrus planned all this in advance. He wasn't dead at all and this whole story of him inheriting his house to his nephew was just a setup to get Arthur and his family into the house, since he needed Arthur and his love for his children as a final key to drive the machine.
All Cyrus wanted was the machine (which the whole house was) to work in order to use the powers of the Ocularis Infernum to his advantage (see comments) and for this he needed somebody sacrificing himself out of true love, which he couldn't do, but fortunately he knew somebody that could, Arthur. So he lured him into his house by faking his death and coming up with that heritage plot.

How is Cyrus alive 13 ghosts?
When Arthur arrives at the core and notices from the twelve ghosts that Cyrus is actually alive and is not a ghost, the two have a vicious confrontation which ends when Maggie frees the ghosts from their trance. The furious ghosts then grab Cyrus and throw him into the core of the machine, slicing him to pieces.Was Dennis the thirteenth ghost?
Dennis is actually the 13th ghost to appear in the movie. However, his ghost has nothing to do with the machine or the other 12 ghosts. Dennis was one of three characters adapted from Elaine Zacharides from the 1960 film; the other two being Kalina and Maggie.Why are there only 12 ghosts in 13 ghosts?
The only way Cyrus could get the machine to work is if the spirits of the Black Zodiac were made complete, therefore he needed all 13 ghosts in Thirteen Ghosts in order to achieve his goal. His initial plan was to force Arthur to sacrifice himself and become the 13th ghost, The Broken Heart.Who becomes the thirteenth ghost?
