What's the most haunting masquerade ball you've gone to?



If you were to ask author Stephen King, he might say that masquerade balls are best when they're secluded in the dark shadows of the Colorado mountains at The Stanley Hotel, where his "Shining" character Jack Torrance went mad.



It's rumored to be haunted, it is the setting of one of the creepiest books of all time and it hosts a Halloween ball that recreates one of the most haunting moments from the story -- The Stanley Hotel could be the spookiest place to be on Halloween.



"In King's classic novel, a masquerade ball full of 'past guests' takes place in the ballroom and we thought this was the perfect way to offer a unique guest experience to our current visitors," Rick Benton, General Manager of The Stanley Hotel, said in a press release. "We've hosted this event for more than 15 years and it's always a huge draw -- people come from all over the world to celebrate Halloween at The Stanley."
