Since it is Halloween Time

Well, for starters, the murder was in 1974. I began working there in 1980. A few people that I worked with were employed there when the murder happened. A maid was brutally murdered in a room where she had been cleaning. The murder was sadistic, violent and sexual. A guy who worked Security had been a County deputy and was on the scene at the time of the killing. He knew all the grisly details. He was one of a number of Security guys who several times saw "Paula" walking in the hallways late at night. One of them told me that he passed a woman in a hallway one night and felt something was kinda weird about her. He turned immediately after passing her but she wasn't there. The guy who was a county deputy saw her at least twice that he told me about right away after it happened. He told me he saw her a lot.. He said she would often just pass from one room to another across the hall without a sound, without a door opening and closing. . One of my co-workers was in the basement one night with another Security officer. They were down at housekeeping to get a cot and they saw Paula and said she walked right into a wall and just vanished. My co-worker was telling me about this about a half-hour after it had happened and he had goosebumps. He said it really freaked him out.

The only things that I ever witnessed was once seeing someone in the office out of the corner of my eye. She moved really fast and just sort of was suddenly there and then gone. But, I definitely briefly saw her and it was a woman. Another time I was going to a restaurant to Z out the register and as I approached the restaurant double doors just slowly opened up for me. These were glass doors. There was nobody else around and being that they were glass I would have seen if there was somebody on the other side opening the doors. This was indoors and there was no air-conditioning or breeze. There's no explanation for the doors opening the way they did.

We used to get our work done and take turns going to rooms to have a little nap (this was third shift remember). On a couple of occasions I had such an uncomfortable feeling in rooms. I just felt that I wasn't alone. It was very creepy and I'd get kinda a sense of dread. One time I was awakened by someone touching my arm and trust me, I was alone. Walking down hallways late at night I often felt very creeped out and was almost afraid to look behind me.

Oh, one other weird thing. There are 334 rooms in the hotel and while I worked there, 2 other hotel guests died. One died in a restaurant and the other died jerking off in his bed. But, the strange thing was they were both occupants of the same room, which I might add was not the room the murder had happened in. Just a strange coincidence.

 

Just for the record this was at The Abbey in Fontana, Wisconsin.

 

Whoa! :-O That's creepy stuff right there.

To reply to the main topic of this thread:

 

I don't consider it to be horror films, but I love the "Saw" series. I love how every movie is interwined in a way to one gigantic story arc.

 

I'm not a fan of typical horror movies, but if I had to pick a horror movie, I'll go with "the Strangers"

I've always enjoyed movies that rely more on psychological terrors than someone merely hacking people together one after another. My favorites would include: Suspiria, Full Circle (a VERY underrated movie and scary as hell), Don't Look Now, Session 9, In the Mouth of Madness

I saw the Orphanage last night. Fantastic flick.

 

It's a spanish film with subtitles, but fantastic, imo.

 

I should have watched that because as others have stated Orphan was bad.

I still don't think that movie is too scary, and I lived there.

It's too bad suspiria is being remade, they just need to leave some things alone, but the movie industry will end up butchering every single movie people love if you give them long enough.
