'The Shining' announced as theme for Halloween Horror Nights 27

Event runs through Nov. 4

ORLANDO, Fla. – Guests will take a trip to the Overlook Hotel during this year's "The Shining"- themed Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando.

The theme for the annual attraction was announced Friday on the theme park's blog.

"It will be the warped psychological thriller you know and love with our own Halloween Horror Nights twist," the post reads. "We cast the Overlook Hotel as the aggressor and view it as if you have the 'shining.' Our goal is to have you constantly doing a double take and give you that, 'Did I just see that?' feeling."

The iconic psychological-thriller, directed by Stanley Kubrick, follows the Torrance family as its patriarch slowly creeps into madness while spending a blustery winter as the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, tucked away in the mountains.

"You’ll come face-to-face with the murderous, ghostly entities around every corner. And of course, the best part will be trying to escape the sharpened edge of an axe," the post reads.

Halloween Horror Nights 27 runs select nights Sept. 15 through Nov. 4. Tickets start at $69.99, click here for information on how to purchase.
