Peacock and Blumhouse have unveiled plans to take over the Stanley Hotel — known as the inspiration for the hotel in Stephen King’s “ The Shining ” — for the “Overnightmare,” a weekend-long immersive experience where guests can book rooms based on one of four Blumhouse films: “Insidious,” “The Purge,” “Happy Death Day” and “Freaky.”
The event takes place at the Stanley, located in Estes Park, Colo., from Oct. 18 to Oct. 20. Upon check-in, guests will be welcomed by a cast of Blumhouse-themed characters, including a “conci-scare-ge,” who will serve as the guide for all of the weekend’s offerings. During the day, attendees can grab a drink at the Blumhouse Bar, play the studio’s upcoming video game “Fear the Spotlight” or explore the “ Teacup ” Room, a lounge based on the new horror thriller series from James Wan and Peacock.

In the evening, guests will be invited to participate in personalized, immersive after-dark activities. Drawing inspiration from the Blumhouse filmography, each experience will feature interactive characters, storylines, and scares. Guests can choose the experience that aligns with their fear tolerance. The “Freaky” and “Happy Death Day” themed nights will be appropriate for general audiences, while the “Insidious” and “The Purge” activities are intended for seasoned horror enthusiasts.
Visitors will also be treated to two screenings during their stay, one of which will feature “Teacup.”
Tickets and further details can be found on 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, a $100 credit for breakfast or lunch at Brunch & Co., nightly screenings, and two drink vouchers for the Blumhouse Bar per guest.
