I've blogged in the past about how there are some crazy similarities between my building and the fictitious "Bramford", the apartment building in the modern day horror thriller by Ira Levin, "Rosemary's Baby" which was subsequently made into the movie classic by the same name directed by Roman Polanski and starring Mia Farrow (you can read that post here).
Well, the latest thing that gives me the Rosemary heebie jeebies is when I go down into the basement of the building to the laundry room. Yes, I have a small washer/dryer in my apartment, but when I need to wash my sheets and comforters I like to use the big machines downstairs. There's a scene in the movie where Rosemary meets another young girl named Teresa when they're both washing their clothes in the basement of the Bramford AND IT LOOKS JUST LIKE MY BUILDING'S LAUNDRY ROOM. Creepy! And it's especially unnerving when you're all alone down there at night. Here are some stills from the movie, Teresa was played by an actress named Victoria Vetri. The girls discuss how scary their laundry room is and how they should try to coordinate their laundry days so they don't have to be there alone. So of course, Teresa dies a bloody death soon thereafter. Cue the spooky music!
Notice the washing machines, ironing boards, industrial pipes, and storage cages...just like the ones in my building:
Even the corridors down there are kinda eerie:
So tell me I'm not crazy! The day some chick tries to give me an amulet filled with tanis root when I'm doing a load is the last day you'll catch me down there!!
