Fun Promotion Lets You Call The Overlook Hotel; Here’s the Number!
Stay with them… forever… and ever… and ever.
A pretty interesting commercial aired during the Academy Awards last night, which at first seemed to be promoting an upcoming television series set in the world of The Shining. What it actually was, however, was an ad for the upcoming Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, presented as a faux commercial for The Overlook Hotel.
Though inspired by Colorado’s Stanley Hotel, the Overlook Hotel is of course a fictional location; but thanks to The Academy, you can actually now place them a call!
At the end of the commercial, a phone number flashed on the screen, which is actually a real working number. When you call it (try a few times if you’re not getting through at first), you’re put on hold at the Overlook Hotel, treated to a series of “while you wait” messages that include menu listings and other fun (and creepy) nods to the movie.
What are you waiting for? Call 1-833-888-0237 now!
The Academy Museum is set to open in 2019, and it “will be the world’s premier institution dedicated to the art and science of movies. Located on Wilshire and Fairfax in Los Angeles, the Museum will be simultaneously immersive, experimental, educational, and entertaining. More than a museum, this dynamic film center will offer unparalleled experiences and insights into movies and moviemaking.”
Publisher Merge Games and developer Still Running have announced a release date bump of May 17 for their horrorpunk action-adventure title Morbid: The Lords of Ire. The follow-up to the 2020 Lovecraftian RPG Morbid: The Seven Acolytes was originally set to release on May 23 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Accompanying the release date change is a new trailer, as well as news that Morbid: The Lords of Ire will be getting support for Xbox One, allowing last-gen players to get in on the fun. The game will also see a physical edition heading to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, with pre-orders available now.
Morbid: The Lords of Ire invites players to risk madness venturing through a revolting hell as the Striver of Dibrom. You must fight across tortured landscapes in an all-new 3D perspective in order to defeat the returning five Lords of Ire, slaughtering hideous creatures using a range of vicious weapons, equipment and blessings.
How you approach combat in Morbid: The Lords of Ire can have a dramatic impact on the world around you. The Lords of Ire builds upon the sanity system from Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, whereby succumbing to insanity can grant incredible power, but at great personal risk, and will dynamically change how you perceive the world around you.
The demo for The Lords if Ire is still available on PlayStation and Steam.
