Horror fans will have a new place to rest their head this October – the Peacock “Overnightmare” at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, the famously eerie landmark.
In partnership with Blumhouse, Peacock will take over The Lodge at The Stanley Hotel from Friday, October 18 – Sun., October 20, where 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 a conci-scare-ge will greet guests and will continue throughout the weekend with encounters of various characters and frights throughout the space, including the Teacup Room. This spooky salon will take guests inside the world of the new thriller series produced by James Wan’s Atomic Monster exclusively on Peacock.
Visitors can also visit 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 on Thursday, 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 Kills, and Get Out, with more coming on October 1, including The Purge franchise and Freaky. Plus, new episodes of Peacock’s 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. You can view the full lineup of Halloween titles on Peacock here.
