With the spell broken, the tower is re-opened to the public, with Q taking charge. They then join hands and vanish into the night, breaking the curse on the hotel. Abigail, young once more, appears, joining once more with Sally, and thanks her for the present. One by one, the ghosts then ascend to Heaven, along with the other partygoers. The groups are saved, and they all go to the Tip-Top Club on the top floor, restored to its former glory.

Amidst the chaos, Sally forgives Abigail, and as they hold hands, they both turn into a shower of gold dust, breaking the curse and stopping both elevators just as they were about to hit the ground floor. At exactly 8:05pm, the lightning strikes the hotel again, and both elevators plummet downwards. Anna manages to escape from an emergency escape hatch, rejoining Buzzy and the others in their elevator. Abby, Buzzy, Jill, Q, and Sally then board the service elevator, catching up with the others on the eleventh floor. Sally even kept the present she wanted to give to Abigail, a bracelet with their names on it. Sally reveals that the whole party was meant to be a surprise birthday for Abigail all along, and apologizes for not being able to get to the party. Sally, wondering what the commotion was about, joins the group, and Abigail gets frightened.

Meanwhile, the elevator continues to move up, only to once again get stuck on the eleventh floor, with only minutes left before history repeats itself. They then confront Abigail, who then tearfully admits her wrongdoing. Sally manages to run out, joining the living, but Anna gets trapped as the passenger elevator moves up.

Anna rushes in as well, trying to keep them from boarding. Meanwhile, the ghosts board the elevator. The team then rushes back to the hotel, but they are too late. Buzzy then realizes that what they did actually gave Abigail the means to complete her spell. Jill then reveals Abigail's real intentions: Abigail was the one responsible for the disappearance of the hotel guests on the elevator, including Sally Gregory, out of personal vendetta and jealousy against her booming career. Shocked and dismayed at being put to blame, Emeline proves her innocence, to which the other ghosts agree. In an outburst Anna blamed Emeline for the guests' deaths. The latter pleads for her life, offering help for them to move on.Īfter an argument between Dewey, Gilbert and Sally, Carolyn reappears, revealing she was the same 'Claire Poulet' whom Buzzy talked to previously. Fearing an intrusion, the ghosts then attempt to ward off Buzzy and Anna. Buzzy vainly tries to develop a relationship with Claire, to which the latter also expresses her feelings. As Buzzy and Anna venture into the abandoned hotel, they met an actress named Claire Poulet, who asked if they needed an actress to play as Emeline in Buzzy's newspaper article. They then enlist the help of Chris 'Q' Todd, a car mechanic and Dewey's grandson, who, despite being initially reluctant, volunteers to help his deceased grandfather and the four other guests. She then explains that the spell can be reversed once the elevator is repaired, and items belonging to the passengers are found, repeating what the guests did on Halloween. His 'reports' attracted the attention of a 68 year old woman named Abigail Gregory, who was witness to an incident in Halloween 1939, when five hotel guests, namely singer Carolyn Crosson, her boyfriend Gilbert London, child actress Sally Shine, her nanny, Emeline Partridge, and bellhop Dewey Todd, were killed in an elevator while they were on their way to a party at the Tip Top Club located at the Hollywood Tower Hotel.Ībigail claims that Emeline Partridge was behind the incident, sending the four passengers to their deaths out of annoyance over Sally's spoiled attitude it however backfired, trapping them as ghosts inside the hotel.
