That always made me wonder. Did the ghosts get him drinks?
Or was he that bat shite crazy that he thought they got him drinks?

If I remember correctly, they didn't obviously show an empty bar when he walked in. He sat down and put his head down and fell asleep. When he woke up the bartender was there and the shelves were full.

Not with all those fricking malevolent ghosts in there, I couldn’t.

The wife and I took a tour of that hotel while it was snowing it's arse off. Estes Park is majestic.

I slept inside, under, and on top of a HMMWV in Anbar for 8 months.

Yeah, I think I could do one less month in a hotel.

Yes, easiest 7 months of my life. I’d love every minute of it. I’m pretty introverted.

I thought the point was you’d go batshit crazy if stuck with your naggy wife and whiney kid for too long.

And the movie Passengers pays homage to the bar scene with its similar bar scene setup

How much am I being paid to do it?

I don’t believe in any form of the supernatural and wouldn’t be spooked by an house where murders occurred. I also would be just fine with nothing but my phone for entertainment as long as I had a strong signal or wifi and power.

But I would have to be paid a good bit to do it.
