Horror fans have a new travel destination to consider this Halloween season thanks to the Peacock “Overnightmare” arrival at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO. In partnership with Blumhouse, Peacock will take over The Lodge at The Stanley Hotel from Friday, October 18, to Sunday, October 20, 2024. Rooms will be themed to one of four Blumhouse films: “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.”
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, which will feature 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, 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 Thursday, October 10.
You can book this unique 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 Kills,” and “Get 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 October 10. From “Freaky Franchises” to “Horror 101” collections, this year’s Peacock Halloween slate includes over 150 titles to help you Face Your Fears.
The Stanley Hotel is no stranger to horror fans. The famously eerie landmark, of course, inspired Stephen King’s 1977 novel “The Shining” and was used as a filming location in its 1997 TV miniseries adaptation.
