Checkout Time At the Dead-End Hotel / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Unsurprisingly, this book throws in a few nods to classic horror films involving that classic "checking into an evil hotel" plot. For starters, the moment you checked in, you're greeted by a desk clerk named Norman. The hotel itself is implied to be alive, and actively corrupts it's guests and prevents anyone who checked in from leaving, making anyone who enters their resident ghosts. So, the Overlook Hotel? Heck, there's a Room 402 which is stated that anyone who enters will never leave. And a possible encounter with the ghost of a spooky old woman, like in the movie.
