Would you stay in room 1408?

Did you know that 1408 came out the same year as The Number 23?

Those rates are killing me. Those are the real horror.
Hard pass unless I get a deal on lastminute.com or summink.
Silent Hill IS a functional town and real people do live there. Just because the protagonists of the games wind up in the Fog World doesn't mean every single person who goes there gets tortured.
Ok reset, here we go:
This was my grandparent's house and home, they completely fixed it up and it was made into a national landmark. Wardner Castle located in Bellingham WA:
And yes, it has been reported as haunted. My grandmother was an international antique dealer and loved esoteric and metaphysical occurrences. They commissioned a mural early on, (I was the first grandchild so I made it in!):
The artist was unfortunately killed in an accident a few days after finishing the mural.
This is a cropped shot, me and my parents are off screen.
Anyways, floating pipes and ghost cats, people from all over came to stay and experience the Victorian house. Most never experienced much, but some did...
As a word of warning most all online info is factually off, but some of it is spot on. I grew up in the house, watched the Shining in it when I was 5, it was normal to me. Never thought twice when grandma showed me her voodoo dolls from Africa, which she kept in the basement only, or the sculptures she would create when going into a state, the mannequins with their overly realistic eyes that seemed to follow you around the room.
I really miss my Grandma, whether you believe in ghosts, spirits, phenomena, it doesn't really matter. I know who she was and what my life was like.

Ugh please.
Yes, I'll stay in your spoopy hotel room with your trumped-up story about how it's haunted when in reality, you probably just put violent or drunk high profile guests in because it had better sound insulation and had windows not facing the street.
Yup, I forget her name, but the little girl you keep bumping into in SH1 probably isn't seeing the fog, the monsters or the rust, she's just running around having fun.
SH only gets you if you did something. There's a pretty good argument that if you're a good person, it likely treats you to a heavenly experience.

Do I get to yell at a tiny Samuel L Jackson in my hotel mini-bar? Because that happens in that movie. If so I'll take it.
If we're talking about the actual room in the story then the answer is absolutely not. If you mean in real life, yeah, no problem. The thing is, if I recall the short story (never saw the movie), it's not really a haunted room in the traditional sense. It's more cosmic horror - it's a fucked up place where time and reality essentially have no meaning and humans just can't handle it. No one ever really figures out what it even is.

But I thought it had more to do with trauma, then if you did something bad? That one dude looking for his daughter for example
Angela did kill her father who abused her several times, as well as he rlother who victim blamed her, but she doiesn't deserve the hell she lives in.
Of course. If word got out there wouldn't be anymore people to add to its mass
yep I would never stay there because of that very reason. nobody knows if ghost exist or heck it could be a dimensional demon portal in that room (4th dimension). The movie freaked me out though. I have had bad dreams similar to this movie. Just imagine being in that room for all eternity.
Yep, if I have seen the movie, absolutely not. Real world, of course.
oh shush, you don't know what you're talking about.
Now, lets split up gang, that way we can cover more ground!

Yeah, this is how I feel about the matter.
"Would you visit HAPPY FUN LAND? At Happy Fun Land you poop uncontrollably. From your mouth."
I mean no thanks. If Samuel L. Jackson tells me to not stay somewhere I am out of it 8n a heartbeat
