Don't go in the basement, pt. 2

I've written about the creepy similarities between my building and The Bramford, the  sinister building that's the setting for Ira Levin's modern day horror thriller "Rosemary's Baby" here and here.  Well there's one more thing that always reminds me of the movie version starring Mia Farrow and directed by Roman Polanski. In the opening scene a young Manhattan couple (Farrow and John Cassavetes) are being shown an apartment to rent in The Bramford by a realtor (Elisha Cook Jr.). He takes them up to the apartment in the elevator and it's one of those old fashioned kind that are hand operated by a doorman. He works the handle and the sliding gate that you can see through as you ascend and descend the floors of the building.
Here are some stills of that scene:

To gain access to the basement in my building where the laundry room and the gym are, you need to be taken downstairs by the service elevator, not the main passenger elevator. The service elevator is in a back hallway on each floor. That's where the garbage chute and recycling bins are. Well, you can't access this service elevator by yourself, you have to be taken down by a doorman, handyman, or porter. AND IT'S JUST LIKE THE ONE IN THE MOVIE. It's got the hand crank and the brass folding gate and you see the floors pass in front of you as you ride it. SPOOKY. 

Here are some actual pictures of me riding inside it with one of the porters...you be the judge:

Am I crazy??
