As we enter the spooky season, otherwise known as fall, the anticipation in Telluride begins to rise as the days grow colder, the nights grow shorter, and we know that the arrival of ski season can be counted in days and weeks. But in spite of our anticipation of snow, we aren’t sitting around just marking the days off the calendar; instead, we are sitting in a variety of seats in a variety of venues watching scary movies during the Telluride Horror Show festival! And if your journey brings you to Telluride in October you too can be a part of this wonderful festival, spending your days and evenings watching the scariest movies on the big screen and when the credits roll, come home to the Telluride Horror Show Telluride vacation condos we at Accommodations in Telluride are proud to provide for travelers.

A Blend of Old and New
With 20 full length feature movies and over 50 short films being shown at this exciting three-day festival you may be wondering how so many new scary movies are being made, but this is one time we are happy to say they aren’t. The Telluride Horror Show presents a blend of the classic and the new, allowing guests to experience the best of the past and compare those classic films against the new ones that are being released each year. There will be a good selection of new movies, of course, with Halloween moving up in the ranks of favored holidays and also with streaming services like Chiller consistently needing more and more to please their fans. But the classic films will always hold a special place in our hearts and deserving of a starring role in this spooktacular event.
Six Venues in Telluride
Also offering a peek inside some of our historic buildings, the movies will be aired in a variety of venues, all located in Telluride and within walking distance of each other and all adding something unique to the event, with the Sheridan Opera House offering the most historic location of all. Considered one of the top 20 coolest film festivals, guests will have the opportunity to buy passes that include a three-day pass, a six-pack (this gets you into six different movies or events) or you can take your chances and buy a single ticket to the movie you really want to see after the three-day and six-pack pass holders have been seated. Also offering meet & greets with stars, writers, and/or directors, workshops, and other special programs, this festival has been a Telluride institution for over 15 years.
Lights, Camera, RELAX!
Whether you have had your fill of scary movies or aren’t quite ready for the night to end, coming home to our Telluride Horror Show vacation rentals will give you exactly what you need. State of the art televisions can be found in the living rooms, game rooms, and bedrooms of our warm and welcoming spaces, allowing guests to continue the horrors for as long as they like. In some properties, theater rooms will take the spooktacular fun to the next level of frightful and delightful. Curl up in a leather recliner with your glass of wine or beer tucked away in the cupholders, toss a colorful throw over your lap, and continue to lose yourself in the magic of the horror movies on a screen that isn’t as large as the ones at the festival but large enough to make the jump scare scenes truly scary. For travelers who prefer to scare themselves by reading, many homes will offer a library of books for the guests to use and quite possibly there will be some Stephen King, Deen Koontz, or even Bram Stoker books on the shelves!
Comfortably at Home in Our Telluride Vacation Condos
Now that you have enjoyed a peek into some of what you can expect in our Accommodations in Telluride October rentals, let’s take a few minutes to delve even deeper into the comfortable delights that await you. Temperatures can drop pretty rapidly at night, even in the fall months, and of course our homes will feature large stone fireplaces in the living areas, with some being woodburning for an authentic fireplace experience and others being gas for an easy lighting experience; you just have to flip a switch to enjoy the heat and flames. Our luxury escapes may even offer fireplaces in en suite baths or primary bedrooms, adding an element of romance to your comfortable adventures. And because you don’t want to be forced to stay inside, that crisp mountain air is addictive, firepits, outdoor fireplaces, and a large bubbling hot tub placed so as to enjoy the best views of the mountains, the landscape, and at night all the stars in the sky, offer more ways to stay warm and feel comfortable at home.
What’s a Movie Without Popcorn?
Sharing a tub of popcorn with your favorite movie-going partner is an age old tradition that has even served as the starting point of more relationships than are countable, and at home, while we may not offer the traditional round popcorn tub, our fully equipped kitchens will have all the gear you need to pop your own movie snack. Heat a bag of the microwaveable stuff in the microwave, pour the fluffy kernels into a large bowl, and head into the theater room or the living room for a night of hair raising thrills and chills. And because the big-name appliances may be calling your name, when the festival is over, you may choose to stay in for a night, creating a gourmet meal and dining together in the cozy dining nooks that are always located just steps away. Telluride is known for its gourmet restaurants as much as it is known for its world-class ski resort, but you’ve been going out every night watching movies that bring you nightmares in all the best ways, so a night at home may be exactly what you need!
No Nightmares or Ghosts
Yes, we all love the jump scares, the gore, the frights of the movies we watch, especially during Halloween season, but we don’t want our vacation rentals to be places of unrest, which is why you chose Accommodations in Telluride to begin with. You may hear the echoes of laughter from all the guests who stayed here before, but that’s magic not hauntings, and when you crawl into our premium beds and pull the covers up over your shoulders, you will discover that no matter how many ghosts and murders you saw on the big screen or how many bone chilling screams were emitted, your sleep will be peaceful and serene. No bad dreams, scary nightmares, or otherwise unsettling dreams are permitted in our tranquil spaces, offering another magic that will make you feel at home and exceedingly rested when you wake up each morning.
