Guillermo Del Toro Says Haunted Hotel Room He Stayed in While Filming “Frankenstein” Has ‘Something Angry’ in It

“The room has more than vibes,” the Oscar winner said of his lodging in Scotland

Guillermo del Toro, the Oscar-winning director behind Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water, has experience with creating his own big-screen horror — but he might be living amid a real one.

Earlier this week, del Toro, 59, began sharing his experience about staying in the “most haunted” room of a hotel built in the 1800s in Aberdeen, Scotland, while filming a new adaptation of Frankenstein.

The filmmaker wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Aug. 20: “i am in the Most Haunted room of it — which was vacated this morning by one of our producers. Odd electrical and physical occurrences scared her into leaving asap.  Stay tuned — if anything happens I will report.”

Del Toro said he “always” stays in the “most haunted rooms” in hotels, but he had only once experienced “anything supernatural.”

On Thursday, Aug. 22, del Toro provided an update. Nothing had happened yet, but the room had an “oppressive” atmosphere and he no longer wished to stay in that room.

“It may be suggestion, but at this point I kept it but am sleeping in another room — I need 6 hours of sleep to have a good shooting day — Im stopping there early and late in the day — but something is in that room with me,” he wrote. “If anything happens or Nothing does expect one or two more updates.”

After he finished filming on Thursday, del Toro returned to the room. “The room has more than vibes,” he wrote. “There is something angry and territorial there. A shred of rage.”

Before leaving the room though, del Toro shared two photos, including a self-portrait with specks from a mirror clouding his image.

“Trying for an EVP on my Iphone,” he captioned the second photo. “EVP” refers to “electronic voice phenomenon,” a mysterious or supposedly supernatural voice that can pop up in audio recordings.
