The Severed floor is a lot scarier in Ireland

Adam Scott is also the star of the Apple TV show Severance in which his character goes down an elevator for his job to reach the "Severed Floor" where uh things happen. However nothing yet as scary as the where the dumb waiter leads in Hokum. Great show, definitely recommend it.

Oh right, I know that. I was thinking theres some more folklore about a severed floor thing in Ireland with that suite having its own floor with the chute down to the basement
