I was thinking about this after reading AC's review: there's never anything overtly linked to the whole Indian burial ground thing, is there? Or is that just the key to the hotel's menace? And why can't I get a drink in this place?

Ah, the return of Gretchen stars and haiku reviews. All is right with the world.

octo, it's never explicit in the movie, but building on an indian burial ground seems a classic blunder akin to "never get involved in a land war in asia."
