Guillermo del Toro Spooked By “Something Angry and Territorial” in Haunted Hotel Room While Filming ‘Frankenstein’

As a seasoned gamer who has played countless horror games, delving into the world of Guillermo del Toro feels like stepping foot into a real-life nightmare. The eerie tales from his haunted hotel room in Aberdeen are reminiscent of the chilling stories I’ve experienced while playing survival horror games like “Amnesia” or “Outlast.”


Guillermo del Toro’s experience making the movie “Frankenstein” in Aberdeen, Scotland, was quite fascinating, or perhaps more accurately, it had a bit of an eerie feel to it.

As a seasoned traveler and filmmaker who has spent countless nights in various hotels around the world, I must admit that this recent stay at my current accommodation has been unlike any other. The so-called “most haunted room” at this hotel has certainly lived up to its reputation, as I’ve experienced some very unusual occurrences since moving in.

“During my stay in Aberdeen, I’m lodging at an old 1800s hotel, specifically the hotel’s most haunted room. One of our team members vacated this room earlier today, having been spooked by strange electrical and physical phenomena that reportedly scared her into leaving immediately. Keep an eye out – if anything unusual happens, I will share the details.”

The director of “The Shape of Water” remarked, “I often occupy the ‘most ghostly’ rooms, yet on just one occasion did I encounter something otherworldly – generally, though, my experiences were uneventful. I remain optimistic.”

The next day, Guillermo del Toro revealed that although no events have transpired as of yet, the ambiance within the room felt heavy and foreboding, and he sensed an unseen presence in the room with him. Additionally, the director of Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio admitted to avoiding overnight stays due to the need for adequate rest for a productive day on set, but he continues to visit the room during mornings and evenings instead.

“He wrote on Wednesday that he won’t be staying much longer, as a possibility, he’s been keeping it up but sleeping elsewhere now – he needs 6 hours of sleep for a good day of shooting. He plans to leave early and late in the day, but there seems to be something in that room with him.”

In a recent post on Thursday, del Toro shared that he stepped into the room following the completion of shooting for the day, sensing “not just an atmosphere,” but a strong feeling. He described it as “something agitated and protective” residing within the space, hinting at a lingering sense of anger and territoriality.

As a gamer, I’ve been dabbling into the world of the unknown lately. Just like the director of “Nightmare Alley”, I too have recently posted a picture of something peculiar I spotted in my mirror. And, just as he’s attempting to decipher electronic voice phenomena, I’m also trying to make sense of some eerie sounds on my phone that I believe could be EVPs.

At present, Guillermo del Toro is working on a fresh Netflix film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel, “Frankenstein.” In this production, Oscar Isaac portrays the scientist, Jacob Elordi plays the monster, while Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, and Felix Kammerer also join the cast.
