The Shining

A massive Kubrick collection is up for auction, and it includes a longer cut of ‘The Shining’ with a never seen deleted scene.

Lee Unkrich has been throwing references to The Shining into Pixar’s movies for years, and you bet he managed to squeeze a few into his latest.

Mike Flanagan, the director behind Netflix’s ‘Gerald’s Game,’ isn’t done with Stephen King yet, and is down to tackle a sequel to ‘The Shining.’

Today The Shining is hailed as one of the greatest horror movies ever made. But did you know Stephen King, the man who wrote the novel The Shining is based on, is not a fan of the movie? He told Playboy he was “deeply disappointed in the end result” in 1983. That’s just one of The Shining facts featured in the newest episode of You Think You Know Movies!

We live in a world where commercial directors speak (and breathe and live) the same pop culture language as the people they've been hired to peddle all kinds of products to. The result: television advertisements have gotten more clever, more specific, and most importantly, more ready to become instant viral sensations on the internet. A new IKEA commercial, whose release in the chilly weeks of October is no coincidence, cleverly parodies one of the most famous horror movies of all time and it's pretty cool.

Can we all agree that The Shining is one of the creepiest, scariest movies ever? If you don't agree with that statement then you may not be interested in Room 237, a new documentary about Kubrick's 1980 masterpiece. If you agree with me, continue on with this post.
