🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️
This is one of the first things I think about when I am thinking about Halloween. It was another one of my favorites and has become a staple each year for me. This was such a great experience watching it again.
The movie opens in 1939, with the deaths of five people: singer Carolyn Crossen, her actor boyfriend Gilbert London, the well-loved child star Sally Shine, her nanny Emeline Partridge, and bellhop Dewey Todd in an elevator after they were cursed.
We then jump ahead 60 years to a journalist, Buzzy Crocker who was fired from his job for publishing news that turned out to be fake. He now makes of fake stories, usually with his niece Anna dressed up as paranormal creatures. An elderly woman named Abigail Gregory comes to visit Buzzy and tells him that she knows what happened that faithful night 60 years previously. She tells him that Sally's nanny was a witch that placed a curse on Sally, but it all went wrong because of the others in the elevator. This caused each of the people in the elevator, including the nanny to be stuck in the hotel. She tells him that she is giving him the story that everyone has always wanted the answer to.
The story continues with Buzzy, Anna, and "Q" the grandson of the bellhop to try and figure out the mystery of the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Who really did curse these people? This mystery is intriguing to watch even after watching it every Halloween for most of my life. It used to creep me out as a child and now it really just interests me as a movie. I love noticing the pieces throughout the movie that give clues to the mystery. This is a great Halloween movie that I would recommend to anyone.
