Experience Horror Like Never Before at The Stanley Hotel This Halloween
The Stanley Hotel is elevating the Halloween experience by combining iconic horror films with an immersive adventure this October. Known for inspiring the Overlook Hotel in The Shining (1980) and the sequel Doctor Sleep (2019), this historic establishment in Estes Park, Colorado, is partnered with Blumhouse and Peacock to provide horror enthusiasts with four exhilarating movie-themed experiences during the spooky season. An official announcement from The Stanley Hotel shares the following enticing details:
“Check in… if you dare […] This exclusive immersive weekend will give horror fans the chance to step inside the spine-chilling worlds of some of your favorite Blumhouse films. Set against the ominous backdrop of The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO — the very place that inspired Stephen King’s bestselling novel, The Shining — OVERNIGHTMARE will be filled with electrifying scares, interactive activities, shady characters and heart-pounding horror.”
At the Overnightmare at The Stanley, guests can choose their accommodations from four different themes inspired by Blumhouse productions: Insidious (2010), The Purge (2013), Happy Death Day (2017), and Freaky (2020). For those intrigued, further details about each experience can be found via the hotel’s website. Notably, the presented “daggers” in each description serve to indicate the level of terror associated with each film, with all four movies available for streaming on Peacock throughout October.
