Horror Museum in Colorado could be a money spinner

If things go as per plan, very soon there could emerge a horror themed museum in the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, that was the inspiration of Stephen King to write The Shining. The hotel hopes to raise $24m for the attraction, along with an exhibition space, 500-seat auditorium, production facilities and editing suites.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 23 October 2015.

The developers want to begin an educational program with the Colorado Film School and are seeking $11.5m in state tourism funds for the non-profit, public-private partnership project. Names like Elijah Wood, Simon Pegg and George A Romero are among the founding board members of the proposal.
As John Cullen, the owner of the hotel has remarked, the Stanley Film Center is a chance to give back something to the millions of horror fans around the world who have supported Estes Park and the hotel for so many years.
The hotel already offers "Ghost Adventure" packages and hosts an annual horror film festival and wants to improve on that.
Stephen King's best-selling 1977 was adapted into a film by Stanley Kubrick in 1980 and it starred Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. It is even now recognized as a horror classic.
