Mist, Moonlight, & Manuscripts Equinox Residency
September 23rd - 26th 2027
A Residency of Horror for Storytellers, Filmmakers, and Visionaries
Imagine a space completely stripped of the noise of the real world.
No workshops to attend. No lectures to sit through. No rigid panels, no notes, and no domestic fatigue. Instead, you are given the ultimate luxury: The Creative Void.
From sunrise to dusk, an atmospheric riverfront cabin deep in the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest belongs entirely to your craft. The cabin's kitchen and pantry are fully stocked with premium local provisions, and dinner arrives at sunset every single evening. Every burden is erased before it can interrupt your focus. You have nothing left to do but drag your darkest ideas into the light.
When the sun drops behind the Olympic National Forest, the cabin screen flickers to life for an exclusive, nightly horror screening—a low-light space to decompress, share complex botanical mocktails, and talk pure story structure with your peers.
This isn't a vacation. It is an unyielding creative incubator.
True to our signature brand, this sanctuary is strictly boutique, fiercely intimate, and highly limited. It is a premium, all-inclusive 4-day, 3-night creative residency designed specifically for solitary visionaries and creative partners who choose to face the shadows side-by-side.
From the driving force behind the premier horror retreat of the Pacific Northwest, The Cabin In The Woods Film Festival is proud to introduce our official Equinox creative residency.
Scroll down to select your sanctuary and lock in your private King suite or shared quarters.
The Jack Torrance Residency
(Private King Suite — Single Occupancy)
$1,350.00
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
For the solitary creator ready to lock themselves away from the world and face the absolute, maddening isolation of the blank page.
A psychological advisory to the solitary mind: The woods are quiet, and the cabin is ready to listen. Ensure you are prepared for whatever answers you back when you type the final line.
The Warren Alliance
(Private King Suite — Double Occupancy)
$2,000.00
“The diabolical is subverted when two forces walk into the dark as one.”
For creative forces and duos who choose to face the shadows side-by-side. Bound by craft, isolated by choice.
A binding covenant for the tethered: Walking into the darkness together requires absolute trust. The cabin will test the strength of your alignment—make sure your partner is ready to hold the line.
The Diodati Grand Chambers
(Co-ed Kinship Creators – Twin Share Occupancy)
$850.00 per person
“Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.”
A grand, shared sanctuary honoring history’s most infamous stormy night in a villa. For individual creators who find inspiration in parallel dark minds.
A chilling reminder to the parallel creators: You are not alone in the room. When two brilliant, dark minds spark off one another in total isolation, the monsters you create have a tendency to wake up.
