Does the Original 13 Ghosts Come With Glasses for the Illusion-O?

I just bought this and noticed there were no glasses in the box with the movie. I assume you need glasses to watch the film in "Illusion-O".

If glasses were supposed to come with it, is there some place I can e-mail or call to get some?

I purchased the dvd when it was released, there was no glasses included. The movie came with the usual WB case...

You're talking about the remake, not the original. The 1960 original was released on DVD by Sony.

My copy also included glasses.

I got glasses also. Is the disc still double-sided? One side was Illusion-O the other wasn't.

I looked at Amazon and the description states "glasses not included". Looked at ebay to see if copies with glasses are worth anything, aparently not(yet) and saw one that looked like the keepcase was white plastic.

You can just use regular anaglyph red/blue 3-D glasses if you can't find the included set, though.

When I got it I didn't get any glasses, so I called Sony left a message, and a week later they sent me two pairs of the glasses. This was back in 2002.

That's what I had to do (mine came up empty also), although watch out: it's kind of a pain, considering the ghost viewer's design compared to 3-D glasses design. Lots of one-eye-closing.

Yeah.... I wouldn't necessarily recommend the Illusion-O for the entire movie. It's not that spectacular, but it's great for shlock value and reminiscing.

Just another example of Sony deliberately lowering the quality of their releases....
