Plot

The Wessex Hotel in Los Angeles is a Victorian hotel, built in 1898 at a height of 16 floors, including a 13th floor. Early in its history, serial killer Avery Block brings his friends to the 13th floor of the Wessex where he proceeds to kill them with a fire ax hoping to achieve immortality by the taking of others' lives. Due to the murders, the 13th floor is sealed off in October 1901 and a frieze is erected around the building covering the floor.
