Talk:1408 2: The Grand Opening/@comment-50.48.141.22-20170121224816

this sounds more like a saw or rob zombie movie. what made 1408 unique was that it did not involve gore or murder, the room was capable of injuring enslin but he had to commit suicide with his own free will. having the hotel start out with the owners dressing up in costume ruins the whole thing because your removing the fact that it is simply haunted,  thats why the deaths were not actually murders. no hotel owners would think that murdering their guests would increase publicity, thats why 1408 was not allowed to be used. if you want to go the ritual route, then say the first death was a ritualistic suicide or a vengeance murder, but then your ruining the mystique of the movie.

heres one for you, call it: 1407. The original murders were actually a serial killer who breaks into the next room, until one day somebody fights back
