In-Room Guide is the third episode of Local 58 to air exclusively on AMC's horror-based streaming platform Shudder as opposed to the series' YouTube channel. Its premiere was teased in Red Eye, which ends by showing a Unix timestamp teasing a release on November 7, 2026 at 4:50 P.M. UTC.[1]
Synopsis
At 2:58 A.M. on May 12, a guest in Room 112 of the Maple Grove Hotel is viewing their Hospitality and Event Guide, which informs the viewer of amenities offered and events hosted by the hotel as a TV programming guide scrolls along the bottom of the screen. Ominous messages appear as part of the announcements, mostly centered around a hotel-wide event set to begin at 3:00 A.M.
Participation is noted to be mandatory for all guests unless they have opted out by 2:45 A.M. In-room phone service will be down until the event is over and rollaway beds are forbidden from being used as barricades. The indoor heated pool, which is usually only available from 8 A.M. to 10 P.M. daily, is also open from 3 to 5 A.M. during special events. Closed-circuit television, which is typically used for surveillance, is offered at select times.
Shortly after 3 A.M., the feed gets interrupted by a new messenger heralding the special event by first announcing that all doors will be unlocked at 3:01 and that special guests are allowed full access (misspelled as "acess") until 5 A.M. A countdown of how many guests remain begins ticking down as the guests in Rooms 107, 223, and 208 are said to have "enjoyed their stay." Amenities are declared to remain unavailable until 5 A.M. or until the "elite member" has enjoyed their stay, whichever happens first. Room 112 is then announced to be the elite member and is told to hide.
Trivia
- Maple Grove is located in Ichor Falls, and its university has appeared previously in Night Walk, Breaking News, and "Lemon Blossom Girl," a short story from Kris Straub's 2009 horror anthology, Ichor Falls: A Visitor's Guide.
- In-Room Guide has similar threatening messaging to Contingency to the extent that a mysterious force is invading and participating in either committing suicide or allowing oneself to be killed at the force's mercy is considered mandatory.
