The Stanley Film Center Receives A Part of Film History For Its Planned Museum

The Axe Used in The Movie "The Shining" is The Center's First Major Donation

he Stanley Film Center, a major film and music entertainment complex in development in Estes Park Colorado, received its first major donation in

the form of an axe used in filming of the classic horror film "The Shining".

The iconic axe which reportedly sold at auction for $175,000 was given to The Center by an anonymous donor to begin what will be a world-class collection of horror film items to be housed in the Film Center's planned museum space.

The new home of the axe from "The Shining" will be the Stanley Film Center and its museum, thanks to an anonymous donation made this week. The film center is being constructed on the grounds of The Stanley Hotel and is expected to open in 2024.

The Stanley Film Center, a non-profit entity funded, in part, by a Colorado State Regional Tourism grant is intended to bring new economic activity to the state. The Center will be a multi-genre film and music venue with the horror film genre as the theme of the museum.

"I can't think of anything more appropriate than this piece of film history to start the museum's collection," said incoming Stanley Film Center CEO Rand Harrington. "The Center and its museum are going to be a must-go destination for film lovers from around Colorado, the country and world."

The Stanley Hotel complex has a long and storied connection to The Shining. It was at the world-famous Stanley Hotel in room 217 that Stephen King was inspired to write the novel which was turned into one of the most famous films of all time and starred Jack Nicholson and his trusty axe.

Construction for The Stanley Film Center is currently underway, and it is planned to open in Spring of 2024. The axe will be on incorporated into tours at the Stanley Hotel until the film center opens.

"This is the first of many exciting announcements we expect to make over the next two years," said Harrington. "We look forward to sharing more about the center, its mission, its construction milestones, and its opening events, so definitely stay tuned."

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
