About this listen

In this episode, we take a closer look at The Shining, one of the most famous (and unsettling) horror films ever made. We talk about how Stephen King’s novel came to life, the real hotel that inspired the story, and how Stanley Kubrick turned it into something completely different.

The production itself was full of strange stories, like endless takes, tension on set, and moments that became legends in film history. We’ll go over what made the movie (and its production) so unique and how it’s still influencing horror today.

From the eerie atmosphere of the Overlook Hotel to Shelly Duval's unforgettable performance, this episode digs into why The Shining still gets under our skin after all these years.
