‘The Shining’ hotel in Colorado expanding to offer Blumhouse exhibit space
The Stanley Hotel, which inspired the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King The Shining, is being expanded to offer an arts and culture hub, and a Blumhouse space.
Located in Estes Park, Colorado, the historic Stanley Hotel inspired the Overlook Hotel in The Shining and attracts horror fans from across the world.
The Colorado Educational and Cultural Facilities Authority, in partnership with Blumhouse, has broken ground on the $60 million Stanley Exhibit Center.
The centre will serve as a year-round hub for film, art and community, with 10,000 square feet of exhibit space reserved for the horror genre.
Here, horror film production company Blumhouse will curate exhibits pulled from its catalogue of franchises and box office blockbusters, including films, television and gaming.
Blumhouse is behind horror hits including Get Out, Paranormal Activity, Insidious, The Black Phone, Five Nights at Freddy’s, M3GAN, and The Purge.
“I started Blumhouse 15 years ago because I love to build. And I’ve been thinking a lot about how we will build out this Blumhouse exhibit space,” said Jason Blum, founder and CEO of Blumhouse.
