Synopsis:
A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.
Reaction:
King is a master of horror and Kubrick is a master of atmosphere. This one can get a bit weird but it's quite solid. Just not my kind of thing.

Trivia:
`~85~` tried to talk `~99~` out of casting `~1668~` in the lead suggesting, instead, either `~Michael Moriarty~` or `~8820~`. King had felt that watching either of these normal-looking men gradually descend into madness, would have immensely improved the dramatic thrust of the storyline. `~99~` decided that having the hedge animals come alive (as they do in the book) was unworkable due to restrictions in special effects, so he opted for a hedge maze instead. `~1668~` ad-libbed the line "Here's Johnny!" in imitation of announcer `~Ed McMahon~`'s famous introduction of `~Johnny Carson~` on U.S. network NBC-TV's long-running late night television program @##The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson##@. `~99~`, who had been living in England since before Carson took over @##The Tonight Show##@, had no clue what "Here's Johnny!" meant. Carson once used the clip of Nicholson as the introduction to one of his annual anniversary specials. Every time Jack talks to a "ghost", there's a mirror in the scene, except in the food locker scene. This is because in the food locker scene he only talks to Grady through the door. We never see Grady in this scene. `~99~`, known for his compulsiveness and numerous retakes, got the difficult shot of blood pouring from the elevators in only three takes. This would be remarkable if it weren't for the fact that the shot took nine days to set up; every time the doors opened and the blood poured out, Kubrick would say, "It doesn't look like blood." In the end, the shot took approximately a year to get right. During filming, `~99~` made the cast watch @%Eraserhead%@, @%Rosemary's Baby%@ and @%The Exorcist%@ to put them in the right frame of mind. `~10887~`, the old woman in the tub, has been falsely rumored to be `~Ann Gibson~`, `~2690~`'s late mother. And neither she nor `~10886~` (the young version of that same woman) appeared in another movie before or after this one. `~99~`'s first choice to play Danny Torrance was `~13697~`, the young boy from !~close_encounters~!~Close Encounters of the Third Kind~!. Guffey's parents apparently turned down the offer due to the film's subject matter. The throwing around of the tennis ball inside the overlook hotel was `~1668~`'s idea. The script originally only specified that, "Jack is not working". Outtakes of the shots of the Volkswagen traveling towards the Overlook at the start of the film were plundered by `~1080~` (with `~99~`'s permission) when he was forced to add the 'happy ending' to the original release of @%Blade Runner%@.
