I vividly remember watching it when I was about 8 and then the long night of nightmares that followed. Though Stephen King famously disliked the book I think it’s inarguable at this point that this is one of films best movies. Few other directors have a body of work as iconic as Stanley Kubrick and this films probably filled with his most famous moments.

As someone who is currently the caretaker of a hotel closed for the off season, I am so totally looking forward to watching this video.

A couple interesting points Ager made that were skimmed over: Every time Jack sees a "ghost" they are placed between him and a mirror, and in the pantry scene he's staring into the reflective surface of the door while talking to Grady. Jack's essentially talking to himself in those scenes. The path Danny rides his bike through the halls is the same path he makes through the maze to lose Jack's trail.

Fun fact. I was at a wedding rehearsal dinner on the grounds of the Stanley hotel in CO. The event was entirely outside but I went in to the hotel and found “room” 237. It’s a janitorial closet. Literally.

I always believed the hotel knew he was coming and was overlooking him on his journey up to the interview and the music with the muttering was it chuckling in excitement

Could also see the wasp nest as a metaphor for how alcoholism can harm those close to the alcoholic. Especially the whole "I got it under control!" denial part of it

I got to watch this Masterpiece of Modern Horror in IMAX last December with my wife and she was absolutely fascinated with it. She's a confirmed ghost story and horror film addict.
