Jason Blum, CEO of Blumhouse, added: “The Stanley Hotel is a sacred place for horror fans and that makes this presence at the Stanley Film Center a natural extension for Blumhouse. “Fans will be closer than ever to their favorite films, although they may want to keep their distance from some of the ‘items’ in our collection.”
