The 'Shining' Hotel Is Becoming a Giant Horror Museum
If you know the Stanley Hotel, you're already in line. If you know the Overlook Hotel—the Stephen King'd version of the building in 1977's The Shining—you're about to get in line.
The infamous Colorado destination, which opened in 1909, is planning to turn itself into the Stanley Film Center, which a press release dubs "the world's first horror themed museum, film archive and film production studio." The facility is projected to cost $24 million, so it won't be anything close to a rinky-dink operation.
"I would love to have a home for which we could constantly come year-round and celebrate with other fans from around the world," says actor Elijah Wood, a member of the museum's board along with directors Simon Pegg, George A. Romero and Mick Garris, the frequent King-adaptor who helmed the 1997 Shining miniseries, which filmed at the Stanley. "There's really no better place for there to be a permanent home for the celebration of horror as an art form than the Stanley Hotel. It was practically built for it."
