Stanley Kubrick's horror film in 1980 "Glitter", based 100% faithfully on Steven King's novel and leads to controversial reactions from the author whateverIt takes place at a remote hotel in Colorado called The The Overlood. The hotel is built so high in the mountains that it needs to be closed for the winter, as snowfall makes roads to the hotel not. Every winter, the view of a guardian to ensure that the stoves remain illuminated, and the property is at least somewhat maintained. This means that the guardian and their family will have to stay there for months, cut off from the rest of the world. This story takes place decades before the start of the internet, so it is a challenge to find things to do. Loneliness and cabin fever will be most reliable at the end.

The "glitter" asks two questions. One: What if an alcoholic is recovering with a Jackec Nicholson should take care of the oversight? Will his sobriety be maintained? And two: What if there was eerie, bloodthirsty, spiritual presence in the look that seems to call the guardian to violence and murder? This will end up bad for someone.

At the beginning of "Shining", as the hotel staff is packing to go, the Torrence family is touring. They are shown a large maze of hedges, the hotel games room, its overwhelming kitchen and its other amenities. Interestingly, thoracities are not given the largest, most luxurious room in the sleeping hotel.

The wide shots of the Overvit Hotel were actually from the real life Timberlin Lodge, housed on Mount Hood's side in Clakamas County, Oregon. Timberline is still in operationAnd there is a fun dinner, a lot near skiing and brewery just six miles down the road. They also sell their own brand of vodka.

How much would it cost to buy the Timberline lodge? It is a little difficult to determine.

Timberlin's lodge was designed by architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood sometime in the 1930s, and was one of the major projects commissioned by the Progress Administration during the Great Depression. The building was built from 1936 to 1938 and was made of many recycled materials to reduce costs. Hundreds and hundreds of construction workers were given jobs, and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt visited the site during construction to offer dedication. There is still a plaque on the hotel terrain that celebrates its construction. The building was open to the public in 1938, and FDR imagined it could provide cheap skiing in the area.

The lodge was difficult to maintain, and its various owners turned neglecting it; No one wanted to go skiing during World War II. In the end it closed. A guard named Richard Constam reopened in 1955, just when skiing suffered a boom and the lodge was returned to glorious life. By 1960 (This was confirmed by an officer at the Timberlin Lodge I was talking personally.)

Unfortunately, this means that the Timberline lodge has never been purchased or sold on the private market, and its true real estate value is unknown. It is technically owned by the US Forest Service, and the economy of the public building is a little dark and difficult to separate. You can visit the Showcase.com website to find other hotels in the same area to get a line of lodge value; Has a hotel in Maupin, Oregon It currently goes for $ 5.75 millionBut it is very different from the trees.

If I want to guess, I suppose the trees - with all its restaurants and slopes and distilleries - worth somewhere in the range of hundreds of millions.

While Timberline's lodge is unclear, we know the value of the Stanley Hotel, located in Estes Park, Colorado. Stanley Hotel was the hotel that inspired Steven King To write "glitter", making perhaps a more appropriate piece of horror tourism than trees. As early as 1974, when King and his wife Tabita went through Colorado, they were advised to sleep in a small hotel for an hour outside the city. The couple checked just as the hotel closed for the winter, the last customers of the season. The hotel was empty, King served a bartender named Grady (as in his book), and began to think who might have died there. A novel began to form in the head.

In 2023, the Stanley Hotel sold to a non -profit company for $ 475 million, so we now have a price. The nonprofit will, according to the article in State cowboy state dailyBuild 58 additional rooms and design a screening room, no doubt in the "glitter" host screening. The article also noted that Stanley was first built in 1909 by Jok Stanley, a photography pioneer. Stanley, the story goes, invented and sold a new type of photo shoot on Kodak, making it very, very rich. He opened the hotel to serve rich and celebrities, so he always had to be a fancy, high profile accommodation.

If you wanted to buy Stanley, it is unlikely that you will be able to fight it from the companies that have just bought it. Even if you have half a billion on hand to buy, they may not be ready to sell it.
