French
Lick, Indiana
This is one of my favorite virtual
tours. I was asked to film this property prior to
the grand opening and just after they invested over
$380 million dollars into renovations. The Hotel
was enormous, and people where always getting lost,
including the people that worked there.
As soon as I walked into the old
hotel, I felt as though I were in Stephin King's
movie "The
Shinning." The size of the place was so
huge and overwhelming, that you couldn't help but
feel vulnerable. The endless hallways,.... the odd
colored carpet,...... these things only foreshadowed
visions of twin girls standing at the end. The fact
that my hotel guide and I got lost several times
didn't help the on going daydreams of "redrum".
I kept thinking to myself how I wanted to bust through
a door with an axe and scream "Here's Johnny".
