the entry about halloween and a bag of chips

so, halloween is looming around the corner. what other better way to revel in it, besides the staple ghostly dress-ups, than getting spooked out by hotel626, hands down the most chills-running-down-spine, eyes-agape-with-fear interactive website i have ever encountered. for those of you who managed to not wet your pants when watching fright night or nightmare on elm street, this is certainly something you should have a go at.

www.hotel626.com, brainchild marketing courtesy of doritos, only operates from 6pm to 6am, although you could cheat the website by tweaking your computer's system date. honestly, i couldn't sit through the entire episode, and had to haul in backup, getting my friend to sit beside me whilst finishing the rest of the game. best experienced with a workable microphone and also a video conferencing gadget (yes, it is that interactive!), you might want to up the scare factor by turning off the lights as well.

madman max, one of the hotel guests, prefers his dreary room lit with a bulb.


the plot: you wake up in a hauntingly macabre hotel and fight against time on a horrifying journey to escape from it, using the only tool you have on your hands, i.e. your handy mouse. the entire premise is one of brooding, dingy darkness, even the slightest frou frou will set you off your seat. great game, though i have no idea how one could correlate a scary website to corn chips.

(rex) pepas pizza didn't give me the creeps like hotel 626 did. but still, it was pretty entertaining playing that.

(junyu) phantasmagoria? enlighten me.

(dan) be prepared to get spooked out, big time. lemme know how freaked out you were yeah. >_<

Is it scary? I don't find it so... But it's quite a good interactive game with the characters looking real. My friends like it too. =)

(763092) i think it's not so much of the characters looking real, but rather the characters are real people. but it was fun no doubt.

(kp) same here. what you need is a gut booster, like a friend, or a brightly lit room.

(anonymous) to each his own, but did it scare you?

(dan) you're a brave dude, something that i can pick up from you. =]

alright chill guys. i am assuming taiwanese's nick is 哈哈哈哈, since you have a penchant for leaving a trail of it after his comments. but anyways, let's all not get fiery over words. (no name) appreciate your support and candor, but let no petty comments from others do you in.

(ray) it's kinda fun, you've really got to give it a shot. don't throw in the flag until you've complete it. you gotta finish it cos the ending is a little dopey. =]

one of the scariest movies i have come across is the Spanish film [REC]. It's been remade in the US as QUARANTINE, and is due out there this Halloween.
