The most tantalising mystery is the honeymoon suite, accessible only by a locked-off lift. The ghost-fearing owner claims a malicious witch has been trapped inside. Friendly counter clerk Fiona (Florence Ordesh) disappears during a Halloween party and the most likely suspect is woods-dwelling mystic Jerry (David Wilmot), but Bauman, who owes a debt to Fiona and her intuitions, just can’t leave the puzzle alone. He is determined to investigate the honeymoon suite, where his own parents were (briefly) happy but which is now permeated with all manner of supernatural gloom — and some of the most gooseflesh-raising art direction in recent horror cinema.
