Introduction:
Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is an author who makes his living churning out paperback books of “true hauntings” (examples such as Ten Haunted Graveyards and Ten Haunted Mansions). He has never found evidence of ghosts or anything supernatural in all his investigations, and is jaded and cynical, and seemingly without any close friendships or family.He receives a postcard in the mail, picturing the Dolphin Hotel in New York. It is not signed, but says on the back, “Don’t Enter 1408.” Curious, he calls the Dolphin, and attempts to book the room, but the hotel refuses him. After getting the lawyer at his literary agency involved, the Dolphin is forced to rent the room to Enslin. Upon his arrival at the hotel, he is pulled into a private meeting with the hotel’s manager, Gerald Olin (Samuel L. Jackson), who does his best to convince Enslin not to stay in 1408, going so far as to offer him bribes, warning him that in 1408, “No one’s ever lasted more than an hour.” Enslin remains firm about staying in 1408, and Olin reluctantly escorts him to the room.
Once inside, Enslin pulls out his cassette recorder, and comments on the banality of the room. As he leans out the window to record his thoughts on the view of the city, the clock radio on the night table suddenly starts blaring “We’ve Only Just Begun” by the Carpenters. He turns to discover that chocolates have appeared on his pillow, and, thinking that it is a trick being played on him by Olin, he begins to search the room.
