Peacock, Blumhouse Host Horror Experience at The Stanley Hotel

Stephen King’s The Shining is one of the most iconic stories in the horror genre. King wrote the book after he visited the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. He was inspired by the many ghost stories he’d heard in the area and by the eeriness at the hotel, which was mostly empty during his visit.

Now, horror fans can participate in an immersive experience at the Stanley Hotel. The event on Friday through Sunday, October 18-20, 2024, is hosted by Peacock and Blumhouse. It will include four rooms themed around the Blumhouse movies Insidious, The Purge, Happy Death Day, and Freaky.

“The thrilling experience starts immediately at check-in, where guests will be greeted by a conci-scare-ge and will continue throughout the weekend with encounters of various characters and frights throughout the space, including the Teacup Room, a spooky salon that will take guests inside the world of the new thriller series produced by James Wan’s Atomic Monster exclusively on Peacock, and the Blumhouse Bar, a haven for horror fans to have a sip and a scare, and play the company’s upcoming video game, Fear the Spotlight,” per the press release.

“Come sundown, things will quite literally go bump in the night. Each evening will feature an after dark experience as guests are pulled from their rooms for one of four personalized, fully immersive activations, inspired by each of the Blumhouse films and featuring interactive characters, narratives, and scares. Experiences will be geared toward different horror levels to allow guests to face their fears no matter their terror threshold – from Freaky and Happy Death Day for those who want just a taste of the terrifying, to Insidious and The Purge for a full nightmare experience,” the press release continues.

There will be two nights of screenings that will include episodes of Peacock’s series, Teacup, which debuts on October 10.

The weekend package includes the two-night stay, an interactive scare experience, complementary welcome dinner, a credit toward breakfast or lunch, nightly screenings, and two drink vouchers for the Blumhouse Bar.

Reservations can be booked on the Stanley Hotel website.
