Ever wonder why you've never stayed in a hotel room on the 13th floor? The answer is simple: The floor doesn't exist. It all comes down to triskaidekaphobia, or the fear of the number 13.Oct 13, 2017

One World Trade Center includes it, as do all Hilton International hotels. Both the Plaza and the Waldorf Astoria have labeled 13th floors. No surprise that these iconic buildings aren't complaining about a lack of interest.

13th Floor Haunted House, San Antonio
THE LEGEND
OF THE 13TH FLOOR
Come with us, as we attempt to explain the legend of the 13th floor, and introduce you to Denver’s most horrifying haunted experience, the 13th Floor. The levels of a multi story building are frequently numbered sequentially, from "basement", “lobby”, “ground”, "one", or “1” upwards or occasionally downwards. In some countries, as it is here in the United States, the number 13 is considered unlucky and building owners will sometimes purposefully omit a floor numbered 13.
Even building owners who are not themselves superstitious realize that the desirability of units on the 13th floor might be compromised because of superstitious tenants, or commercial tenants who worry about losing superstitious customers.
Based on an internal review of records, the Otis Elevators company estimates that 85% of the buildings with their elevators do not have a named 13th floor.
Why are skeptics so easily convinced that the majority would just rather avoid the 13th floor? What has happened in history to create such a stigma about a 13th floor? For whatever reasons there may be, there seems to be a multitude of stories about what happens on the 13th floor, some documented, some not. It seems that it has become largely accepted to just leave this mystery alone, brush it under the rug, and don’t talk about it.
A good example is that some have suggested the 13th floor in government buildings is not really missing, but actually contains top-secret governmental departments, or more generally that it is proof of something sinister or clandestine going on.
It should be noted that to place a floor between those accessible from an elevator, it is necessary to either take longer to travel between the neighboring floors, or accelerate, both of which would be noticed by the riders. It would also be noticeable from the exterior, requiring either an extra row of windows or a conspicuous gap between rows.
Thus, it would make much more sense to build a secret floor, such as the 13th floor as a basement, making it much easier to hide 13th floor's location in what appear to be single story buildings, underground.
We, the creators of the 13th Floor Haunted House, have discovered locations, right here in Denver, Colorado constructed in the manor described above. Not completely sure of what all of their past uses may have been, it seems that the majority of these locations are currently inhabited as a home for the fortunate or unfortunate souls, living and dead, that have discovered their secret locations when seeking shelter from the environment, or society. Various species of rats, snakes, and spiders have also taken up residence here, living in secret, by their own rules.

Candyman run time is 91 mins
What’s that - an hour and 31 mins? The original is 101 minutes
The Butterfly Effect + Mirror + Doppelgängers Effect + Time Portal =
“A group of friends stumble upon a mirror that serves as a portal to a ‘multiverse.’ They soon discover that importing knowledge from the other side in order to better their lives brings increasingly dangerous consequences.” (AP video)
27 mins in and the main characters already made a series of highly questionable decisions (finding a mirror in their attic and thinking it’s a good idea to back to the past themselves via an electrical current through it) but I need to see where this is going. I have a feeling this is one of those horror movies where each one of them dies/ no one survives or the sole survivor is better off dead.
Has an 82% on RT and 6 on IMDB, IMDb usually low rates horror movies so anything above a 5 is usually decent to me.

I watched Sacrifice earlier today.@storyteller my agenda tonight - This Friday the 13th night, I watched AHS ep 6 earlier tonight and now I’m in a rabbit hole of researching horror stories/mysterious circumstances in Re. National Parks due to that episode with the “Feral” people.
And watching this movie with Barbara Crampton that I had lingering on my lists
It is like a trailer park budget version of Midsommar but not as obnoxious.
I enjoyed it.
better be goodI really enjoyed this one.
You know that comparison was not needed.
Barbara Crampton’s Norwegian accent threw me off. Lol. But the movie was effective enough - leaving out the midsommar references
Just watched this which was a little goofy but…the really unconventional violence drew me in, good watch.

Seems like movie will be straight forward and move swiftly. No slow burn
