Nightmare on the 13th Floor is a 1990 occult horror film directed by Walter Grauman. It was made-for-television and aired on the USA Network as a movie of the week on Halloween Day. The plot revolves around a Los Angeles hotel with a hidden 13th floor inhabited by a cult trying to murder 16 people in order to gain eternal life. The film stars Michele Greene as travel writer Elaine Kalisher, James Brolin as Dr. Alan Lanier, and Louise Fletcher as Letti Gordon.
The production was a typical low budget movie intended for television. Reviewers criticised the film's hackneyed premise, with Steve McKerrow of the Baltimore Sun asking: "How could four respectable actors -- Michele Greene, James Brolin, Louise Fletcher, and John Karlen -- be involved in such a mess?"
