Comment on The ax from “The Shining” will soon take up residence at the Stanley Hotel

The ax from “The Shining” will soon take up residence at the Stanley Hotel

One of the fake axes used in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror classic “The Shining” has been donated to Estes Park’s Stanley Hotel for its new movie-memorabilia museum and film center. The prop ax sold for $175,000 at auction earlier this week, according to published reports. It was then anonymously donated for display in the Stanley Film Center, a sprawling film and music entertainment complex that’s been in development for years on the Stanley’s property. The ax is the film center’s first donation, according to incoming film-center CEO Rand Harrington, and will be displayed during hotel tours until the film center is completed in 2024. “I can’t think of anything more appropriate than this piece of film history to start the museum’s collection,” Harrington said in a press statement.
