Hotel That Inspired The Shining May Become World's First Horror Museum
LatestThe Stanley Hotel, famous for inspiring Stephen King to write The Shining, might become the world’s first horror-themed museum. Through a $24 million development, the hotel, located in Estes Park, Colorado, would transform into the Stanley Film Center, which would also feature a film archive and film production studio. Backers have applied for an $11.5 million credit through the State of Colorado’s Regional Tourism Act.
According to PR Newswire via Rolling Stone, proposed plans for the center would include “multiple indoor and outdoor entertainment venues, including a 500-seat auditorium; a 30,000 sq. ft., interactive museum and discovery center, featuring rotating exhibits such as The Walking Dead; a 3,000 square-foot soundstage; classrooms and workshop spaces; and cutting-edge post-production and editing suites.”
