What happens

Tower of Terror is a 1997 American supernatural horror television film written and directed by D. J. MacHale, and starring Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst. It is based on the theme-park attraction, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida, and aired on ABC on October 26, 1997, as a presentation of The Wonderful World of Disney. It is Disney's first film based on one of its theme-park attractions, and the only one produced for television. The film, which has no connection to any incarnation of The Twilight Zone, was partly filmed at the actual attraction in Disney-MGM Studios (now known as Disney's Hollywood Studios), while the rest was filmed on a stage in Hollywood, Los Angeles. As of 2025, the film is not available on any streaming service, nor has it aired on any television channels. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
