The theatrical poster for Ghost Ship was inspired by the poster for Death Ship (1980), another film about a haunted ocean liner. See more »

Crazy Credits
The opening logos are tinted brown, and the typical Warner Bros. logo is instead an intentionally chintzy 60s style logo. All this ties into the infamous cruise ship opening. See more »
Alternate Versions
The film was released in Germany in both its uncut form (rated "Not under 18") and in an edited version ("Not under 16"), which misses many gory shots (i.e. from the wire scene in the beginning, the squashed diver or the "hooked up" singer). For commercial reasons most cinemas showed the cut version. See more »
This story, with a luxury cruise liner, that has been, floating out in the Behring Sea, since well, 1962 is eerie in itself, this ship is so large and so grandly made that it would decimate practically anything in it's wayward path, at very least. But when it comes to finding this lost at sea vessel, this salvage crew is in for a major surprise.
The Antonio Graza, is a whale of a large ship. Bigger than most, it was made to cross the waters, with ease. Watching this story work it's way to the point of searching for the ship, to me was an excellent visual, when the scope that Captain Murphy (Byrne) is using to track her, sort of 'skips' out then comes back on, and this extremely large vessel, is right in front of them, and they scramble to go into reverse, but only to run right into her! That ship was so ominous and dark, it truly put a start into me, the hairs on my neck stood up, when they found her. The ship that had run aground, had rust, and the paint had been corroded for decades. The vessel was well aged at sea, in the sun and salt air with the rains and waves etc, the plates on the deck of the ship, were, not all safe to walk across, adding a larger element of danger in just moving around on board. The cast was a good cast and the story is intriguing, it's an eerie thought to have a ship this size just floating aimlessly in the oceans for 40 years. The history on that ship alone would make it an 'A&E' spectacular. Allbeit for me on any level it is the things that can happened or already have that are scary not like a monster with metal claws coming out of the wall...but something that can actually get to you...in real time. The truth is stranger that fiction.
What a truly interesting set-up, although the script was kinda weak, in sections, could have used some help. I recommend this thrill sail, to any lover of haunting stories on the water.(***)
