Jemma Redgrave said Kate Stewart and Osgood would do karaoke together to relax outside of work, and I couldn’t find a fic about that, so I started writing a fluffy one-shot and I’m already at 7 pages of plot outline for what will clearly be a multi-chapter epic. I may be in trouble. Have I mentioned this is my first fic* in 20 years? Massive trouble.

* to be clear I only wrote one one-page fic at the time sooo yeah

I really really wish that the Doctor Who writers would pick a scientific advisor for UNIT and stick with it. First it was Malcolm (remember him?), then my beloved Osgood(s), then Jac, then Shirley, and now Morris. Just pick one already!

HISTORY OF THE CECIL HOTEL

If I were to mention “The Cecil Hotel” most people would recognise at least something about it. Some people might make the connection to Richard Ramirez, others would track it back to one of the most mysterious cases ever; Elisa Lamb. Point is, people that recognise the name of the hotel always think of something negative. The Cecil Hotel has an interesting history.

The hotel opened in 1924 at 640 S. Main Street, and since then, it has seen a few instances of macabre events, at least 16 murders, suicides, and unexplained events have taken place there.

THE GRAND OPENING

Like I said, the hotel was built in 1924 by Willian Banks Hanner. It was supposed to be a destination hotel for international businessmen and social elites. Hanner spend around 1 million dollars on the 700- room Beaux- style Hotel, complete with a marble lobby, stained glass windows, palm trees and an opulent staircase.

However, just two years after its opening, the world was thrown into a Great Depression that very much affected Los Angeles. Soon after, the area surrounding the Cecil Hotel was dubbed “Skid Row” and become home to thousands of homeless people.

The once popular hotel, was now a home for junkies, runaways and criminals. Worse yet, the hotel ultimately gained a reputation for violence and death.

SUICIDE AND HOMICIDE

In the 1930s alone, the hotel saw 6 reported suicides. A few residents ingested poison, while others shot themselves, slit their throats or jumped our their bedroom windows.

In 1934, Louis D. Borden slashed his throat with a razor. Less than 4 years later, Roy Thompson of the Marine Corps jumped from atop the Cecil Hotel and was found on the skylight of a neighbouring building.

In September of 1944, 19-year-old Dorothy Jean Purcell awoke in the middle of the night with severe stomach pains while staying at the hotel, and as she went to the bathroom, she gave birth to a baby boy. She had no idea she was pregnant. Thinking her baby was death, she threw him out the window and onto the roof of the building next door. At her trial, she was found “no guilty by reason of insanity” and admitted to a hospital for psychiatric treatment.

In 1962, 65-year-old George Giannini was walking by the hotel with his hands in his pockets when he was struck to death by a falling woman. Pauline Otton, 27 at the time, jumped from her hotel room after an argument with her estranged husband. Her fall killed both her and Giannini instantly. In light of all these tragedies, it was called “the most haunted hotel in Los Angeles.”

SERIAL KILLER’S TERRITORY

While it is true that suicides and other tragedies have contributed to the infamy of the hotel, the Cecil Hotel also. has its fair share of serial killers who loved it.

Between 1984 and 1985, Richard Ramirez, ultimately named “The Night Stalker” who gained infamy due to murdering 14 people, lived in a room on the top floor during much of his killing spree.

After killing someone, he would throw his bloody clothes into the Cecil Hotel’s dumpster and saunter into the hotel lobby wearing whatever he left on his body- this never raised any suspicions, given the hotel was always rather chaotic anyway.

In 1991, Austrian serial killer Jack Unterweger- who strangled prostitutes with their own bras- also called the hotel home. Apparently, he chose the hotel due to its connection to the Night Stalker (but it has not been confirmed).

ONTO THE COLD CASES

There’s a few of these, namely, a local woman known around the area named Goldie Osgood was found dead in her ransacked room. There was one suspect who was wearing bloody clothes around the lobby, he was later cleared and her real killer was never caught.

Another guest of the hotel was Elizabeth Short, also known as the “Black Dahlia” after her murder in 1947. She reportedly stayed at the hotel, and was found not far from it with her mouth carved ear to ear and her body cut in two.

Probably the most talked about cold case is that of Elisa Lam, a college student from Canada who was found dead three weeks after she had gone missing. Her naked corpse was found on the roof of the hotel, only a few residents had complained about the water tasting funny. Authorities run her death as “accidental”, although you’ll find people who tell you they believe otherwise.

Before her death, surveillance cameras caught Lam acting strangely in an elevator, at times seemingly yelling at someone who could not be seen, as well as attempting to hide from someone, who could also not be seen. This video gained notoriety because people started to believe rumours about the hotel was haunted. Some even finding connections to her case and that of the Black Dahlia, given both were women in their twenties, traveling alone from San Diego to L.A and both of their bodies were found a few days after they had been reported missing.

The last body found in the hotel was in 2015, and it was that of a man who committed suicide, the hotel was talked about was more to be connected to pain, death and suffering, it even inspired the “Hotel Cortez” in American Horror Story season 5 about a hotel that’s about mayhem and murder.

Movies/TV watched 2024; asterisks * are rewatches, asterisks w/question marks *? are rewatches I couldn’t remember having seen before but had a vague sense of familiarity and/or I found evidence of watching elsewhere in my archive. Struck titles were unfinished (I absolutely loved the book In Cold Blood but dozed off a bunch during the movie; Under the Skin seemed promising but I had to turn it off because I could NOT emotionally deal with the baby on the beach.)

This year I treated myself to some old weird nostalgia movies on VHS (YouTube or Internet Archive links provided when available). We have a decent collection of thrifted DVDs and we borrow a lot of movies from the library. Occasionally I’ll sign up for a month of a streaming service if there’s something ~exclusive~ we want to watch, and then we’ll end up watching whatever horror garbage is offered. Honestly, I think “meh, it was okay” was my main reaction to a lot of the movies I watched this year? Kind of a bummer.

Favorites in 2024: BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE!!!!! I just loved everything about it :D I thought it was aesthetically the right amount of Tim Burton without being *too much* Tim Burton, ya know? (Love movie environments that feel like a dark ride!) Beetlejuice is a forever favorite, one of my earliest “crushes” (proving that I have absolutely never had good taste in men & that as early as age 4 I yearned for a witty dirtbag prankster to show up and “promptly whisk [me] off from [my] ordinary life into wacky adventures in the land of the dead” [description from the box set of the animated series, yikes lmao; my other fave beginning around this time was Doctor Who lol, obvious underlying theme is obvious]). ANYway, BJ BJ was also the first movie we saw in theatres post-covid! Not necessarily due to covid-related concerns, but just like, idk, being busy and frugal homebodies. And I guess since more theatres are offering restaurant food nowadays, they’re making it more difficult to sneak food in (no bags allowed), booooo.

Other faves: Asteroid City (I’m not usually a Wes Anderson person but this was visually stunning), His House, Poor Things. The Seeding was pretty wild, if heavy-handed. Tho I kind of thought *everything* about male/female relationships in horror movies I saw this year was getting pretty heavy-handed :/ Sisters with Transistors was a cool documentary about women (Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, Wendy Carlos, Pauline Oliveros, et al.) in the early days of electronic music, dreamily narrated by Laurie Anderson (*heart-eyes*). Beatles ’64 was surprisingly okay! I *really* appreciated the interviews with people who were young Beatlemaniacs back in the ‘60s, hearing (mostly) women talk about how the Beatles represented a new way of being masculine, how liking the Beatles could provide a sense of agency for women navigating their own desires, etc. That was a cool perspective which I do not personally encounter very often in the Beatles cinematic universe. (For background: My two most recent long-term relationships have been with indie musicians who just happen to be extremely obsessed with the Beatles, so I’ve spent the past 17+ years absorbing deep dives about how great they are, and while I like many of their songs and Understand Their Position of Importance in the History of Pop/Rock/Human Culture, I just do not give a fuuuck on a personal level. But I do still begrudgingly respect my partner’s interest enough to occasionally watch a Beatles documentary with him.)

My Week(s) in Reviews: July 28, 2024

Deadpool & Wolverine (Shawn Levy, 2024)

Not perfect, but still a shitload of fun. Fan service moment after fan service moment fill this newest addition to the far-too interconnected MCU, giving fans all the gasp-inducing moments they could hope for, and very few that they went in expecting. I expected this film to open up the MCU more in terms of the Multiverse, but really like that they instead opted to use it as an ending to the Fox branch of the MCU while further exploring the Merc with a Mouth's deepest insecurities in the most accessibly meta manner imaginable. - 8/10

Longlegs (Osgood Perkins, 2024)

This is bloated with an awkwardly realized atmosphere that turns a creepy premise into a nightmare of 'elevated' horror clichés and forced quirkiness. It does have its moments, and the overall concept is appropriately chilling, but the execution is just so damn pretentious that it drains all of the potential out of the final product. But hey, at least Nicolas Cage is having fun. - 5/10

A Quiet Place: Day One (Michael Sarnoski, 2024)

Meh... there's some fair to solid tension built throughout, but there's nothing new here. And the character work is—at its best—boring and predictable. Unnecessary prequel is unnecessary. - 5.5/10

I also revisited Christopher Nolan's Interstellar for the first time in just about five years because someone sent me some TikTok theory that the whole movie is McConaughey's journey through the afterlife. It's a theory that holds very little to absolutely no water at all when you actually watch the film, but it gave me a reason to watch it again, so there's that. And I had my annual screening of Steven Spielberg's Jaws; as perfect a film as there's ever been.

Enjoy!
