About The 18th Floor: In Ancient Eastern Mythology, miscreants and sinners who have lived a life of evil and deception are sent to “18 Floors” after death. Their souls are doomed to suffer an endless torture, forever cursed with pain and anguish, as punishment for their wicked lives.  In 1930, a young Eastern woman was brutally murdered on a train.
