By Mulder, Colorado, Estes Park, Stanley Hotel, 16 october 0002 to 16 october 2024

In a thrilling partnership between Peacock and Blumhouse, the historic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, has been transformed into the ultimate immersive horror experience—OverNightmare 2024. From October 18-20, horror fans will embark on an unforgettable journey that brings iconic Blumhouse films like Insidious, The Purge, Freaky, and Happy Death Day to life. Guests will find themselves plunged into a nightmarish setting, where every twist and turn is designed to evoke the bone-chilling atmosphere of these popular horror franchises.

The first wave of attendees, including notable figures such as Dylan Efron (The Traitors), Angie Katsanevas (The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City), Cynthia Bailey (The Real Housewives of Atlanta), Chloé Lukasiak, and Emma Kenney, has already had a taste of the terror. These brave souls experienced a world where the lines between reality and Blumhouse’s horror universe blur, facing personalized scares and spine-tingling surprises that kept them on edge from the moment they checked in.

Peacock and Blumhouse have gone all out, creating an environment steeped in suspense, thrills, and terror. Each night, guests were pulled from their beds for chilling encounters, while throughout the day, the eerie hotel provided exclusive screenings of Speak No Evil and episodes of Teacup, a new thriller series produced by James Wan’s Atomic Monster, streaming exclusively on Peacock. Visitors also had the opportunity to explore immersive spaces such as the Blumhouse Bar and Teacup Room, offering a fully integrated experience that drew attendees deeper into the narrative worlds of these horror sensations.

With the event completely sold out, horror fans who missed the chance to attend OverNightmare 2024 in person can still indulge in the horror festivities from the safety of their own homes. Peacock’s vast Halloween selection features over 150 titles, including some of Blumhouse’s biggest hits like Insidious, Halloween Kills, Get Out, The Purge, and Freaky. Fans can also dive into the chilling new episodes of Teacup and explore curated collections like Freaky Franchises and Horror 101, all available on the streaming platform.

Peacock continues to build its reputation as a leader in delivering premium content to diverse audiences, and this event solidifies its innovative approach to experiential entertainment. As NBCUniversal’s premier streaming service, Peacock offers more than 8,000 hours of live sports, hit movies, and original series, bringing unparalleled value and a unique entertainment experience to its subscribers.

Blumhouse, known for dominating the horror genre, has been instrumental in producing iconic franchises and films that have collectively earned nearly $6 billion globally. From The Black Phone to M3GAN and Five Nights at Freddy’s, Blumhouse has consistently pushed the boundaries of fear on both the big and small screens. With a merger with James Wan’s Atomic Monster in early 2024, the studio is continuing to expand its horror empire, producing cutting-edge films and series that captivate audiences worldwide.

The OverNightmare 2024 experience at the Stanley Hotel also highlights Blumhouse’s commitment to deepening its connection with horror enthusiasts. This follows their involvement in annual events like Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights and their collaboration with AMC for the Halfway to Halloween Film Festival. Blumhouse’s investment in creating immersive experiences extends to the upcoming transformation of an exhibit space at the Stanley Hotel into a permanent Blumhouse attraction, paying homage to the site’s famous connection with The Shining.

With OverNightmare 2024, Peacock and Blumhouse have set a new standard for horror experiences, blending the thrill of the screen with real-world terror. This unique event is a testament to their shared vision of creating deeply engaging, interactive moments for fans of the genre. Whether in person at the Stanley Hotel or from the comfort of home, horror lovers are guaranteed a hauntingly good time this Halloween season.
