Room 401 is a television series on MTV, executive produced by Ashton
Kutcher and Jason Goldberg. It is named after the room Harry Houdini
died in at Detroit's Grace Hospital in 1926.
Room 401 takes unaware victims into the center of mini horror movies
that play out live. From the reanimation of the dead, to chain-saw
mishaps, each episode contains four “scares” or pranks. The show is
hosted by Jared Padalecki from the CW's Supernatural.
A woman wants her friend to win her something from a claw machine, but the claw doesn't work, so a maintenance man (played by magician/actor Rob Zabrecky) sticks his hand through the glass and pulls out a rat.
Two crime scene cleaners go to a crime scene and one of the men witness the dead man's spirit (played by magician David Minkin) sitting up from his body.
