1. Reckless sinful way throughout this life.Copy !req
2. The Lord has told me...Copy !req
3. that the open gates of Hell...Copy !req
4. are yawning up widely in our path.Copy !req
5. Yes, the flames of perpetual damnation...Copy !req
6. are ever ready to grasp our souls.Copy !req
7. We know the way of the righteous man.Copy !req
8. Yeah, we know the
prayer of the righteous man.Copy !req
9. I'm telling you that the Lord has spoken.Copy !req
10. Yes, the Lord has spoken to me.Copy !req
11. Hi.Copy !req
12. Mike Enslin. Checking in.Copy !req
13. Honey. Mr. Enslin.Copy !req
14. We were afraid you weren't going to show.Copy !req
15. Oh it's such an honor to have you here.Copy !req
16. Terrible night out there.
If I could just get the key,Copy !req
17. I'll settle in and we can
talk in the morning after...Copy !req
18. You probably want to hear
all about our haunted history.Copy !req
19. Well, this staircase here,
this is where the maid...Copy !req
20. reputedly hung herself in 1860.Copy !req
21. Oh. There's a picture!Copy !req
22. Can we do this in the morning? Wait wait.Copy !req
23. It's printed in our brochure.Copy !req
24. Did we send you one of
these? Uh, probably did.Copy !req
25. Do you see her in the window?Copy !req
26. Yeah, there she is.Copy !req
27. That's a photo that a guest took in 1986.Copy !req
28. In your letter you
mentioned that the rooms...Copy !req
29. with the most paranormal
activity were in the attic.Copy !req
30. Could I have one of those rooms?Copy !req
31. That's right, because the
attic is on the third floor...Copy !req
32. which is the former servant's quarters.Copy !req
33. People say that all of Sylvia's children...Copy !req
34. died up there of tuberculosis.Copy !req
35. All of them?Copy !req
36. Guests have reported strange sounds.Copy !req
37. At the stroke of midnight
there's been weird noises.Copy !req
38. Now our best advice is to
lock your door from the inside.Copy !req
39. Isn't that right, honey? That's right.Copy !req
40. You take care, you just
lock it from the inside.Copy !req
41. I will.Copy !req
42. As soon as you give me the key.Copy !req
43. I'm so... right. Got it right here.Copy !req
44. Number 14, you can't
miss it. Been a long drive.Copy !req
45. Good luck. All right, we'll seeCopy !req
46. what the night brings.Copy !req
47. Mrs. Clark, the proprietor,Copy !req
48. says she hasn't slept a nightCopy !req
49. since acquiring the inn and I believe her.Copy !req
50. No no no, I pity her.Copy !req
51. But in any case, the
eggs Benedict are deliciousCopy !req
52. and if you call in advance, Mrs. Clark saysCopy !req
53. she will bake her famous
flour less chocolate cake.Copy !req
54. On a Shiver Scale,Copy !req
55. I award the Weeping Beach Inn six skulls.Copy !req
56. Screw 'em, five skulls.Copy !req
57. How's it going? Can I help you?Copy !req
58. Yeah, I'm here for the big event.Copy !req
59. All right.Copy !req
60. Cool.Copy !req
61. I'm Mike Enslin.Copy !req
62. Sorry?Copy !req
63. Book signing. Oh, right.Copy !req
64. Oh, that's you, yeah. I
see the resemblance, yeah.Copy !req
65. That's a good picture.Copy !req
66. Thanks, man.Copy !req
67. All right, hold on.Copy !req
68. Um... attention, book lovers.Copy !req
69. Tonight we have noted occult writerCopy !req
70. Michael EnslinCopy !req
71. at the Author's Corner tonight.Copy !req
72. He's the writer of the
best-selling ghost survival guides,Copy !req
73. um... with such titles
as "10 Haunted Hotels,"Copy !req
74. "10 Haunted Graveyards,"Copy !req
75. "10 Haunted Lighthouses."Copy !req
76. That's tonight, 7:00 pm.Copy !req
77. Anyway, so I really enjoyed writing it,Copy !req
78. and that's kind of a history of the book.Copy !req
79. And I hope you enjoy it, or enjoyed it.Copy !req
80. Uh, you know, stay scared.Copy !req
81. Right? Any questions?Copy !req
82. Where's the scariest
place you've ever been?Copy !req
83. Scariest place I've ever been?Copy !req
84. Uh, I've never heard that question before.Copy !req
85. That's a joke.Copy !req
86. Well, all these places
have very colorful histories.Copy !req
87. I would say, if I had to pick a top one,Copy !req
88. I would say Bar Harbor,Copy !req
89. the site of the grisly McTeig
wedding night murders.Copy !req
90. That's an intense place.Copy !req
91. Or maybe St. Cloud, Minnesota,Copy !req
92. where the crazed war widowCopy !req
93. threw her baby down a well.Copy !req
94. I mean, those all have a
lot of... I mean, it's thick.Copy !req
95. The air is thick. What about poltergeists?Copy !req
96. Look, I'm a good researcher.Copy !req
97. I go into every gig locked and loaded.Copy !req
98. I travel with an EMF meter,
full-range spectrometer,Copy !req
99. infrared camera. I mean, look,
nothing would make me happierCopy !req
100. than to experience a paranormal event,Copy !req
101. you know, to get a
glimpse of the elusive lightCopy !req
102. at the end of the tunnel.Copy !req
103. So you're saying there's
no such thing as ghosts?Copy !req
104. I'm saying I've never seen one,Copy !req
105. but they're awful convenient
for desperate hotelsCopy !req
106. when the interstate moves away. (knocking)Copy !req
107. This thing has really gone
off the rails. Who has a pen?Copy !req
108. I do.Copy !req
109. Which one?Copy !req
110. Uh, but seriously, Mike, if I
want to see a real live ghost,Copy !req
111. where's my best bet?Copy !req
112. Guaranteed? Yeah.Copy !req
113. Haunted Mansion, Orlando.Copy !req
114. Awesome, thanks.Copy !req
115. Stay scared.Copy !req
116. Thank you.Copy !req
117. Hey, Ray, can you lock up?Copy !req
118. I got band practice tonight.Copy !req
119. Holy shit.Copy !req
120. What rock did you find that under?Copy !req
121. Um, eBay.Copy !req
122. EBay, huh?Copy !req
123. How much did it go for?Copy !req
124. Well, there weren't many bidders.Copy !req
125. I would think not.Copy !req
126. Wow. But it's, urn...Copy !req
127. an amazing book. Oh.Copy !req
128. Um, so... uniqueCopy !req
129. and inspirational and honest.Copy !req
130. Thanks. What's your name?Copy !req
131. Um, Anna.Copy !req
132. Okay, Anna.Copy !req
133. Are you gonna write
another one like this one?Copy !req
134. Nah, it's a different guy.Copy !req
135. Can I ask you a question? Sure.Copy !req
136. Um, the relationship in the bookCopy !req
137. with the father and the son...
it's probably too personal,Copy !req
138. but, um, it's so authentic and...Copy !req
139. Well-constructed, and...Copy !req
140. is it true?Copy !req
141. No.Copy !req
142. Well, thank you for
this. I really appreciate it.Copy !req
143. My pleasure.Copy !req
144. Bye.Copy !req
145. Good boy!Copy !req
146. Yo, homey...Copy !req
147. Just a minute, Tiffany!Copy !req
148. Yeah, I'm just gonna
tie it inside my suit here.Copy !req
149. Yo, Greg, check him out!Copy !req
150. Did you see what happened?Copy !req
151. Oh yeah.Copy !req
152. Are you okay, buddy?Copy !req
153. Hey, are you breathing?Copy !req
154. No! Serious as a heart attack.Copy !req
155. We got 325. That is back here, I think.Copy !req
156. This is the one. Sign
on the line, please, sir.Copy !req
157. Oh, you mean right here?Copy !req
158. Have yourself a beautiful day.Copy !req
159. Thank you.Copy !req
160. Thank you very much.Copy !req
161. Hey, man, you've been gone a while.Copy !req
162. Hey, Jackson, what's up?Copy !req
163. Oh by the way, dude,Copy !req
164. I read your last book...Copy !req
165. the "10 Haunted Mansions" thing.Copy !req
166. Man, that's some scary shit.Copy !req
167. Cool.Copy !req
168. Later on, dude.Copy !req
169. How you doing?Copy !req
170. Hi. Good.Copy !req

173. Good evening, Dolphin Hotel.Copy !req

175. Yeah, hi, I'm calling about room 1408.Copy !req
176. One moment please, sir.Copy !req
177. How may I help you?Copy !req
178. Yeah, I'd like to stay in room 1408 please.Copy !req
179. That room is unavailable, sir.Copy !req
180. I didn't tell you which date.Copy !req
181. How about Saturday?Copy !req
182. It's unavailable.Copy !req
183. The following Tuesday?Copy !req
184. Unavailable.Copy !req
185. Next month?Copy !req
186. Unavailable.Copy !req
187. Next summer?Copy !req
188. Somebody, anybody, where's
good Chinese near 48th?Copy !req
189. I got to have lunch with that idiot
from Random House. Anybody?Copy !req
190. Sam, Mike Enslin calling
from Los Angeles again.Copy !req
191. I'll take it in there.Copy !req
192. Clay, you got a sec for Mike Enslin?Copy !req
193. Say yes. Yes.Copy !req
194. Great. Now look, this guy
tends to get a little morose,Copy !req
195. so try to keep the energy up.
Otherwise he stews in his own funk.Copy !req
196. Mike! Hey, Sam.Copy !req
197. Hey hey, read the first
five chapters last night.Copy !req
198. Spooky shit, couldn't sleep a wink.Copy !req
199. Great. Hey, did you
take care of that thing?Copy !req
200. You'd better believe I did. And I
got our top lawyer here right now.Copy !req
201. Mike, Clay, Clay, Mike.Copy !req
202. Hi, Clay. Mike.Copy !req
203. Talk fast, all right?
This guy's $400 an hour.Copy !req
204. All right, Clay, what's
up with the Dolphin?Copy !req
205. Yeah, the Dolphin.Copy !req
206. That stick-up-its-ass relic on Lexington.Copy !req
207. Too posh for a free plug, right?Copy !req
208. Well, you are gonna love
what Clay's cooked up.Copy !req
209. He dug around and found
you... are you sitting down?Copy !req
210. A Federal Civil Rights law.Copy !req
211. Like somebody would
discriminate against you,Copy !req
212. a well-to-do white guy. But
the law's the law, right, Clay?Copy !req
213. Ergo, if the room's not occupiedCopy !req
214. they have to give it to you.Copy !req
215. Really?Copy !req
216. Yeah. Now look, the manager
there's gonna put up a stinkCopy !req
217. but he knows the drill.Copy !req
218. Nothing you can't handle. So, Mike...Copy !req
219. we'll book the room and if they refuseCopy !req
220. we'll rattle our sabers and file suit.Copy !req
221. So it's all done?Copy !req
222. Thanks, Clay. Get lost, all right?Copy !req
223. Bye, Clay.Copy !req
224. Yeah, Mike, are you there?Copy !req
225. Yeah, uh, on a more personal note,Copy !req
226. are you sure you want to come here?Copy !req
227. Yeah, of course. It'll make a
solid closing chapter of the book.Copy !req
228. Yeah yeah, I know the routine.Copy !req
229. But, I mean, it's New York.Copy !req
230. All that happened... you really
want to put yourself through that?Copy !req
231. I'll be quick.Copy !req
232. Are you gonna call Lily?Copy !req
233. No. I don't want to impose.Copy !req
234. In and out. Nobody gets hurt.Copy !req
235. It's just a job.Copy !req
236. Here you are, Dolphin.Copy !req
237. Hey! Taxi!Copy !req
238. It's a beautiful room,Copy !req
239. with fabulous views of the city.Copy !req
240. Pardon me, ladies.Copy !req
241. Thanks very much.Copy !req
242. Welcome to the Dolphin, sir.Copy !req
243. Are you checking in?Copy !req
244. Mike Enslin.Copy !req
245. One night.Copy !req
246. And how are we spelling that today?Copy !req
247. N-S-L-I-NCopy !req
248. Yeah.Copy !req
249. Uh, would you excuse me for a moment, sir?Copy !req
250. Sure.Copy !req
251. Mr. Dempsey, Mike Enslin's just checked in.Copy !req
252. Where is he?Copy !req
253. He's over at my desk.Copy !req
254. That's fine, Marie. I'll take care of it.Copy !req
255. Okay.Copy !req
256. It'll just be a minute, Mr. Enslin.Copy !req
257. Good evening, sir. Can
I help you with your bag?Copy !req
258. No.Copy !req
259. Very well.Copy !req
260. Mr. Enslin, I'm Gerald Olin,Copy !req
261. manager of the Dolphin.Copy !req
262. If there's anything that I can
do for you while you're here...Copy !req
263. dinner reservations, theater tickets,Copy !req
264. maybe a Knicks game? Anything...Copy !req
265. just tell me. I am at your service.Copy !req
266. Well, if I can just get the key to 1408,Copy !req
267. I can get out of your hair.Copy !req
268. Oh, we were thinking of
upgrading you to a penthouse suite.Copy !req
269. 1408, please.Copy !req
270. Insistent, aren't we?Copy !req
271. Could you please humor meCopy !req
272. by coming to my office for a
more private conversation?Copy !req
273. Sure.Copy !req
274. Excellent.Copy !req
275. Come in. Make yourself comfortable.Copy !req
276. 1408 a smoking room?Copy !req
277. As a matter of fact, it is. Yes.Copy !req
278. Good, one less worry in
the watches of the night.Copy !req
279. Care for a cigar?Copy !req
280. No thank you, I don't smoke.Copy !req
281. Oh this, yeah. That's...Copy !req
282. in case nuclear war breaks out.Copy !req
283. I gave it up a long time ago.Copy !req
284. It's part habit, part superstition.Copy !req
285. It's, you know, a writer thing.Copy !req
286. You do drink, don't you?Copy !req
287. Of course, I just said I was a writer.Copy !req
288. Le Cinquante Sept Deces, 1939.Copy !req
289. Exquisite.Copy !req
290. About $800 a bottle, when you can find it.Copy !req
291. I appreciate the bribe, but I
intend on staying in that room.Copy !req
292. How long?Copy !req
293. How long?Copy !req
294. My usual is overnight.Copy !req
295. I see.Copy !req
296. No one's ever lasted more than an hour.Copy !req
297. Jesus, man.Copy !req
298. You ought to shave your
eyebrows and paint your hair goldCopy !req
299. If you're gonna try to sell
that spook-house bullshit.Copy !req
300. Otherwise, you'll scare the children.Copy !req
301. Why are you mocking me when I am genuinely,Copy !req
302. to the best of my
ability, trying to help you?Copy !req
303. No, you're playing a little game.Copy !req
304. You're selling the mystique.Copy !req
305. But eventually, we both knowCopy !req
306. you're gonna give me the key
and I'm gonna go up to the roomCopy !req
307. and I'm gonna write my storyCopy !req
308. and your bookings are gonna go up 50%.Copy !req
309. Do you mind if my little friend
records our conversation?Copy !req
310. I'll take that as a yes.Copy !req
311. Sir, you quite misunderstand the situation.Copy !req
312. Now, I know the Dolphin doesn't
have the cachet of the PlazaCopy !req
313. or the Carlyle,Copy !req
314. but we operate at 90% capacity.Copy !req
315. Always.Copy !req
316. And my concern here is not for the hotel.Copy !req
317. My concern here is not for you.Copy !req
318. Frankly, selfishly,Copy !req
319. I don't want you to check into 1408Copy !req
320. because I don't want to clean up the mess.Copy !req
321. Now hotels are all about presentationCopy !req
322. and fertile creature comforts.Copy !req
323. My training is as a manager,Copy !req
324. not a coroner.Copy !req
325. Under my watch there
have been four deaths... four.Copy !req
326. After the last one, I forbade any guestCopy !req
327. from checking into 1408 ever again.Copy !req
328. The last one was David Hide,Copy !req
329. orthodontist, manic-depressive.Copy !req
330. Slit his wrist, did a little self-surgery,Copy !req
331. turned himself into a eunuch, right?Copy !req
332. Yes. So you've done your homework.Copy !req
333. I'm a professional too.Copy !req
334. Well, grievously, in its 95-year existence,Copy !req
335. the hotel has seen seven jumpers,Copy !req
336. four overdoses, five hangings,Copy !req
337. three mutilations... Three mutilations...Copy !req
338. two stranglings. General
manager Gerald OlinCopy !req
339. is well-versed in the
hotel's tragic history,Copy !req
340. dryly reciting the docket of
carnage like a bookkeeperCopy !req
341. discussing his ledger.Copy !req
342. Well, you think you're clever, don't you?Copy !req
343. I know the game.Copy !req
344. Well, during your investigation,Copy !req
345. did you discover the 22 natural deathsCopy !req
346. that have occurred in 14087Copy !req
347. Natural deaths?Copy !req
348. Ah, didn't find out about themCopy !req
349. because the newspapers
don't print anything about them.Copy !req
350. Hmm. All told, there have
been 56 deaths in 1408.Copy !req
351. 567 You're shitting me.Copy !req
352. You don't know anything.Copy !req
353. The causes of death in 1408 rangeCopy !req
354. from heart attack, stroke, drowning...Copy !req
355. Drowning?Copy !req
356. Yes, one Mr. Grady MillerCopy !req
357. drowned in his chicken soup.Copy !req
358. That's hard to do.
How... how did he do that?Copy !req
359. How indeed?Copy !req
360. Interesting. It's all in here.Copy !req
361. I will let you have thisCopy !req
362. and give you access to my office.Copy !req
363. You can take notes,
put it all in your book.Copy !req
364. My only conditionCopy !req
365. is that you do not stay in that room.Copy !req
366. You'll let me look at all that stuff?Copy !req
367. I never did get that drink.Copy !req
368. Oh, that is good.Copy !req
369. Here, keep it.Copy !req
370. Compliments of the house.Copy !req
371. I'm still staying.Copy !req
372. Damn it to hell!Copy !req
373. I'm sorry.Copy !req
374. All right here. Here, read
the godforsaken thing.Copy !req
375. I guarantee you, once you've read itCopy !req
376. you won't want to stay in 1408.Copy !req
377. The first victim: Mr. Kevin O'Malley,Copy !req
378. sewing machine salesman.Copy !req
379. Checked into the hotel
the first week it opened...Copy !req
380. October, 1912.Copy !req
381. Cut his own throat, right?Copy !req
382. Oh, that's not the horrific part.Copy !req
383. Afterwards, in a fit of insanity,Copy !req
384. he tried to stitch himself back togetherCopy !req
385. using an old sewing needle
before he bled to death.Copy !req
386. Easy, man.Copy !req
387. Look, Mr. Enslin,Copy !req
388. you don't have to stay in 1408.Copy !req
389. You can take photographs of 1404.Copy !req
390. It has the exact same layout andCopy !req
391. no one will ever know the difference.Copy !req
392. My readers expect the truth.Copy !req
393. Your readers?Copy !req
394. Your readers expect grotesqueriesCopy !req
395. and cheap thrills.Copy !req
396. "The headless ghost of Mr. Eugene RilsbyCopy !req
397. still walks his abandoned farmhouse."Copy !req
398. "The Barking Phantom
of Mount Hope Cemetery."Copy !req
399. A direct quote... how'd you know that?Copy !req
400. Your books aren't hard to find.Copy !req
401. They're on the bargain shelves
of any paperback novel store;Copy !req
402. full of cynicism,Copy !req
403. written by a talented, intelligent manCopy !req
404. who doesn't believe in
anything or anyone but himself.Copy !req
405. Guilty as charged.Copy !req
406. Hey listen, this meeting's over.Copy !req
407. Why don't you give me the room?Copy !req
408. Oh please, don't act
like a hurt schoolgirl.Copy !req
409. In fact, you surprised me.Copy !req
410. Oh.Copy !req
411. You are not the hack-n-slash I expected.Copy !req
412. I rather liked the first
one, the hardcover.Copy !req
413. What was it called? "The Last Walk..."Copy !req
414. "Long Road Home."Copy !req
415. "The Long Road Home," yes.Copy !req
416. I rather thought the father was a bastard.Copy !req
417. Yeah, he was.Copy !req
418. Look man, just give me the key.Copy !req
419. Mr. Enslin...Copy !req
420. Just give me the key!Copy !req
421. Listen, I stayed at the Bigsby house.Copy !req
422. I brushed my goddamn
teeth right next to the tubCopy !req
423. where Sir David Smith
drowned his whole family.Copy !req
424. And I stopped being afraid
of vampires when I was 12.Copy !req
425. Do you know why I can
stay in your spooky old room,Copy !req
426. Mr. Olin?Copy !req
427. Because I know that ghoulies and ghostiesCopy !req
428. and long-legged beasties don't exist.Copy !req
429. Even if they did,Copy !req
430. there's no God to protect
us from them, is there?Copy !req
431. So I can't talk you out of this?Copy !req
432. I think we've reached an understanding.Copy !req
433. Very well.Copy !req
434. Come with me.Copy !req
435. Most hotels have switched to magnetics.Copy !req
436. An actual key.Copy !req
437. That's a nice touch... it's antiquey.Copy !req
438. We have magnetic cards also,Copy !req
439. but electronics don't seem to work in 1408.Copy !req
440. Hope you don't have a pacemaker.Copy !req
441. General manager claims that
the phantom in room interferes...Copy !req
442. I have never used the word "phantom."Copy !req
443. Oh, I'm sorry. Spirit? Specter?Copy !req
444. No, you misunderstand.Copy !req
445. Whatever's in 1408 is nothing like that.Copy !req
446. Then what is it?Copy !req
447. It's an evil fucking room.Copy !req
448. Please.Copy !req
449. Mr. Odin.Copy !req
450. Oh, sure.Copy !req
451. Thank you.Copy !req
452. Why don't the owners just close the room?Copy !req
453. The Yasuko Corporation prefers
to pretend there's no problem.Copy !req
454. Just as they pretend there's no 13th floor.Copy !req
455. The room, it's got to be filthy.Copy !req
456. I mean, the sheets haven't
been changed in what? 11 years?Copy !req
457. No no no, we're very professional.Copy !req
458. 1408 gets a light turn once a month.Copy !req
459. I supervise, the maids work in pairs.Copy !req
460. We treat the room as if it's a
chamber filled with poison gas.Copy !req
461. We only stay 10 minutes and
I insist the door remain open.Copy !req
462. But still...Copy !req
463. A few years ago, a young
maid from El SalvadorCopy !req
464. found herself locked in the bathroom.Copy !req
465. She was only there for a few moments,Copy !req
466. but when we pulled her out, she was...Copy !req
467. She was dead.Copy !req
468. No, blind.Copy !req
469. She had taken a pair of scissorsCopy !req
470. and gouged her eyes out.Copy !req
471. She was laughing hysterically.Copy !req
472. Your floor.Copy !req
473. Well, this is where we part company.Copy !req
474. This is as close as I get to 1408Copy !req
475. unless it's that time of the month.Copy !req
476. See you tomorrow.Copy !req
477. Mr. Enslin?Copy !req
478. Please...Copy !req
479. don't do this.Copy !req
480. I'll call you about those Knicks tickets.Copy !req
481. Stop it!Copy !req
482. Okay. It's okay, sweetie. We're home now.Copy !req
483. Here we go.Copy !req
484. This is it?Copy !req
485. You got to be kidding me.Copy !req
486. Round one goes to the hideous Mr. OlinCopy !req
487. for effective aggressiveness.Copy !req
488. I have to admit, he had
me going for a moment.Copy !req
489. But where is the bone-chilling terror?Copy !req
490. Show me the rivers of blood.Copy !req
491. It's just a room.Copy !req
492. $8 for beer nuts.Copy !req
493. This room is evil.Copy !req
494. Mike's voice: Olin said hotels
are about fertile creature comforts.Copy !req
495. It's a good line, but I wonderCopy !req
496. whether they're really
about reassuring platitudes,Copy !req
497. a prosaic sense of the familiar.Copy !req
498. "Yes, I've been here before.Copy !req
499. It's safe."Copy !req
500. There's a sofa,Copy !req
501. a writing desk, a faux antique armoire,Copy !req
502. floral wallpaper.Copy !req
503. Carpet's unremarkable, except for a stainCopy !req
504. beneath a thrift-store painting ofCopy !req
505. a schooner lost at sea.Copy !req
506. The work is done in the predictablyCopy !req
507. dull fashion of Currier & Ives.Copy !req
508. The second painting is of an old womanCopy !req
509. reading bedtime stories...
a Whistler knockoff...Copy !req
510. to a group of deranged childrenCopy !req
511. as another Madonna and
child watch from the background.Copy !req
512. It does have the vague air of menace.Copy !req
513. The third and final painfully dull paintingCopy !req
514. is the ever-popular "The Hunt."Copy !req
515. Horses, hounds and
constipated British lords.Copy !req
516. Some smartass spoke
about the banality of evil.Copy !req
517. If that's true,Copy !req
518. then we're in the seventh circle of Hell.Copy !req
519. It does have its charms.Copy !req
520. The panorama is typically cramped
New York City view of nothing:Copy !req
521. Dull, gray buildings all around;Copy !req
522. Honking traffic below. The view of a...Copy !req
523. We've only just begunCopy !req
524. To liveCopy !req
525. White lace and promisesCopy !req
526. A kiss for luck and we're on our wayCopy !req
527. We've only begunCopy !req
528. Before the rising sunCopy !req
529. Bravo, Olin. That is very unsettling.Copy !req
530. So many roads to chooseCopy !req
531. We start off walking and learn to runCopy !req
532. And yet we've just begunCopy !req
533. That means someone's in the room.Copy !req
534. Hello?Copy !req
535. Hello!Copy !req
536. That is bizarre.Copy !req
537. Finally I got something to write about.Copy !req
538. A ghost that offers turn-down service.Copy !req
539. All right.Copy !req
540. All right, let's Encyclopedia
Brown this bitch.Copy !req
541. Started off the window,Copy !req
542. hear the music, nab my head.Copy !req
543. I turn around, go to the
bed for the chocolate.Copy !req
544. Then I go into the
closet which would have...Copy !req
545. my back was turned. It would have letCopy !req
546. Houdini have time to come in hereCopy !req
547. do the paper trick...Copy !req
548. and he's in the living room.Copy !req
549. Out!Copy !req
550. Hello?Copy !req
551. You're gonna have to try harder, asshole!Copy !req
552. Nice and warm for you up there?Copy !req
553. It's hot down here, bubba.Copy !req
554. Come on.Copy !req
555. Front desk.Copy !req
556. Hello, this is Mike Enslin.Copy !req
557. Guess which room.Copy !req
558. Good evening, sir.Copy !req
559. Good evening.Copy !req
560. Are you ready to check out?Copy !req
561. Check out? No no no no no.Copy !req
562. Check out, check out,
no. Why would I check out?Copy !req
563. Especially with this
wonderful maid service.Copy !req
564. It's so discreet.Copy !req
565. No no no, I need you to send
somebody to fix my thermostat.Copy !req
566. Room's on fire.Copy !req
567. Of course, sir.Copy !req
568. We'll send an engineer right up.Copy !req
569. You will?Copy !req
570. Absolutely.Copy !req
571. Thank you.Copy !req
572. You're welcome.Copy !req
573. How many thin wallsCopy !req
574. have we put up with together,Copy !req
575. old boy?Copy !req
576. How many sarcophagal chambers?Copy !req
577. Hotel rooms are a naturally creepy place...Copy !req
578. don't you think?Copy !req
579. I mean, how many people
have slept in that bed before you?Copy !req
580. How many of them were sick?Copy !req
581. How many of them lost their minds?Copy !req
582. How many of them... died?Copy !req
583. We came here to get the story,Copy !req
584. and we don't rattle, do we?Copy !req
585. It's not that what I'm seeing is not real.Copy !req
586. It just ain't as real as it seems.Copy !req
587. Hello?Copy !req
588. You got a problem with the temperature?Copy !req
589. Yeah.Copy !req
590. Come on.Copy !req
591. Is it too hot or too cold?Copy !req
592. What does it look like?Copy !req
593. Come on in.Copy !req
594. The box is right over here.Copy !req
595. It's stuck around 80.Copy !req
596. I said the box is right here.Copy !req
597. I know where the hell it is,Copy !req
598. but I ain't going in this room.Copy !req
599. You just have to walk six or seven feet.Copy !req
600. I said I ain't going in.Copy !req
601. You know what happened in here?Copy !req
602. Yes, I'm well aware of that.Copy !req
603. Look, I'll talk you through it.Copy !req
604. Any jackass can fix that thing.Copy !req
605. Just remove the panel.Copy !req
606. Okay, now above that coilCopy !req
607. is a little tube filled with mercury.Copy !req
608. That's supposed to
activate the contact switch.Copy !req
609. But this hotel's so goddamn old,Copy !req
610. half the shit in here don't work.Copy !req
611. Just give the tube a little tap.Copy !req
612. Just tap the damn thing!Copy !req

891. Don't put your hands on me, old man!Copy !req
892. Mike!Copy !req
893. Talk? Why change what appears

1062. Unbelievable.Copy !req
1063. I can see why you live here.Copy !req
1064. Why did you leave?Copy !req
1065. Because every time I
looked at you, I saw her face.Copy !req
1066. I think it's pretty clear.Copy !req
1067. I think in the dream the
room's your subconsciousCopy !req
1068. and it brought up a lot of stuff.Copy !req
1069. That's a good thing for you.Copy !req
1070. But this was... I mean, I
was down the rabbit hole.Copy !req
1071. I was rattled. I was shook up.Copy !req
1072. And I can't shake it. I think after dinnerCopy !req
1073. you should drive me back to the hospital,Copy !req
1074. check me into the psych unit.Copy !req
1075. You look really great.Copy !req
1076. I can't believe I'm sitting here with you.Copy !req

1087. I mean, the very real sensationCopy !req
1088. that I talked to her, like, two days ago?Copy !req
1089. I talked to her, saw her, touched her.Copy !req
1090. Yeah.Copy !req
1091. I see her every night when I shut my eyes.Copy !req
1092. Yeah, but it was so vivid.Copy !req
1093. It was so real.Copy !req
1094. Maybe you should write about it.Copy !req
1095. About Katie? Shit.Copy !req
1096. You always were tougher than me.Copy !req
1097. Why not?Copy !req
1098. Seriously, it sounds likeCopy !req

1110. See you around.Copy !req
1111. Did I drop a postcard?Copy !req
1112. What? Did I?Copy !req
1113. A postcard.Copy !req
1114. No, I think I would have seen it.Copy !req
1115. But if I find it, I'll
put it in your mailbox.Copy !req
1116. My experience in the room was terrifying,Copy !req
1117. a fragmented loop of unease and despair.Copy !req
1118. 1408 was a horrible dream,Copy !req
1119. yet somehow I awoke from it renewed.Copy !req
1120. Mikey! You sound happy.Copy !req
1121. You're scaring me. I wouldn't go that far,Copy !req
1122. but I must say that the
work is just pouring out of me.Copy !req
1123. I think I've actually reinvented myselfCopy !req
1124. in the form of a kind
of a fictional memoir...Copy !req
1125. "Autobiography of a Nightmare:Copy !req
1126. Truman Capote meets H.R. Giger."Copy !req
