Check in if you dare… Peacock and Blumhouse are taking over the Stanley Hotel this Halloween season for a special “Overnightmare” event, we’ve learned this morning.
Located in Estes Park, Colorado, the Stanley Hotel is the inspiration behind Stephen King’s classic horror novel The Shining, and Blumhouse’s “Overnightmare” event promises a one-weekend-only experience that will be a living nightmare from check-in to after dark.
Step (and sleep) inside the worlds of Blumhouse’s Insidious, The Purge, Freaky and Happy Death Day at Peacock and Blumhouse’s “Overnightmare,” which will take over The Lodge at The Stanley Hotel, from Friday, October 18 – Sunday, October 20, where rooms will be themed to the aforementioned Blumhouse horror favorites.
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.
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.
As an added treat (no tricks), guests will also be invited to two nights of screenings, including episodes of the Peacock series Teacup from James Wan’s Atomic Monster, which premieres Thurs., Oct. 10.
Those who are brave enough can boo-k their stay at The Stanley Hotel’s website. The weekend package includes a two-night stay in a double occupancy room in The Lodge, an interactive Scare Experience, a complimentary welcome dinner, $100 credit toward breakfast or lunch at Brunch & Co., nightly screenings, and two drink vouchers for the Blumhouse Bar per guest.
Those who prefer scares from the comfort of home can find some of the best of Blumhouse streaming on Peacock now, like Insidious, Happy Death Day, Halloween KillsandGet Out, with more coming on October 1, including The Purge franchise and Freaky. Plus, new episodes of Peacock original series Teacup will drop weekly through Halloween after its debut on Oct. 10.
From “Freaky Franchises” to “Horror 101” collections, the full Peacock Halloween offering includes more than 150 titles to help you Face Your Fears.
