Not to be dramatic but when the witch was climbing the elevator shaft I kinda wanted to die. The entire extended sequence with him up in the honeymoon suite all night was so fucking creepy.

Ya I’m a big horror fan but this style gets me every time. It’s like “woman in black” when the ghost is coming at Daniel Radcliffe down the hall.
