Blumhouse's Overnightmare Haunted House Experience Sounds Fun, But The Price Tag Might Be The Scariest Part

As a lifelong Stephen King enthusiast and a die-hard horror fan who has braved countless haunted houses and watched more slasher films than I can count, the Overnightmare event at The Stanley Hotel sounds like an absolute dream come true. The chance to immerse myself in the terrifying worlds of Blumhouse’s most chilling films while staying in rooms themed around these very same movies is a horror fan’s ultimate fantasy.

In Stephen King’s masterpiece, “The Shining,” the Overlook Hotel appears eerie even before reading, thanks to its real-world counterpart, The Stanley Hotel, being isolated and spooky. However, instead of just imagining a chilling hotel stay, Blumhouse offers an “Overnightmare” weekend experience at the Colorado resort itself. What’s more unsettling than spending nights in rooms themed after top Blumhouse horror flicks is the hefty price they demand.

Blumhouse and Peacock have teamed up to transform the dreams of horror enthusiasts into a reality by establishing The Stanley Hotel as an essential stop for aficionados of the genre. As stated on their official website, the Overnightmare event offers guests the opportunity to choose a room themed around four Blumhouse movies (Insidious, The Purge, Freaky, and Happy Death Day), complete with thrilling scares, ominous characters, interactive activities, and much more, making for an unforgettable horror-filled weekend. In essence, it’s like experiencing Halloween Horror Nights right inside your hotel.

Despite the weekend stay sounding exhilarating (particularly for horror enthusiasts like me), there’s one aspect that’s sending chills down my spine – the financial toll it will take. It’s not the unknown within those hotel rooms causing the fear, but rather the substantial amount that will be withdrawn from my account for each scary encounter. Regardless if you prefer a Queen or King bed, or any of the Blumhouse-themed rooms, the cost is set at $1,031. This steep price doesn’t include the additional $87.64 fee for “unforeseen circumstances” that might affect your reservation.

To afford such a four-digit price tag, this experience would truly be a must-have for any dedicated horror enthusiast. Let me assure you, the value you receive with that substantial cost is unmatched. In addition to sharing a room at The Lodge for two nights, you’ll also get one terrifying encounter, a complimentary dinner on your arrival, two drink vouchers at The Blumhouse Bar, a $100 free meal at Brunch & Co, and much more. These horror-themed adventures and perks are undeniably enticing, but to label $1,031 for a two-day getaway as merely expensive would be an understatement.

If you’re unable to visit The Stanley Hotel this year for the Blumhouse event, you can still enjoy the comfort of Blumhouse movies with your Peacock subscription, including Get Out, the Happy Death Day movies, Insidious, and more. You can also expect upcoming Blumhouse horror films to eventually hit the streaming service, like Speak No Evil, Megan 2.0 and Wolf Man. If you turn off the lights, turn up your TV’s stereo surround sound, and make sure the room is completely silent, watching Blumhouse movies in the comfort of your home can provide just as scary an experience.

The Overnightmare two-day horror weekend’s price tag may be scarier than anything you can expect during your stay, but it may be worth it for the chance of a lifetime for you and your loved one to stay in a room centered on your favorite Blumhouse movie. If you dare to make a reservation, the check-in days are October 18-20. If you’d prefer to stay at home and chill in front of your Peacock streaming service, look at our upcoming horror films so you’re in the loop of what can presumably hit the streamer.
