TRUE CANADIAN Laurel, The "Here's Johnny!" line was ad-libbed by Jack Nicholson. It worked so well that it became a line that characterized The Shining.

A favorite book. Watch the movie every winter. It's fun to watch it when there is lots of snow outside.
Player Say what!?
The book is much, much better than the movie. King got the setting from the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park Colorado. Being from the area, I've been there a few times. If you go to Rocky Mtn National Park, you'll drive right past it on your way to the entrance. Stop by and go inside, it's beautiful.

Sylvia, If that scared you, watch the sequel!

The "Dr. Sleep" sequel (book and movie) are as excellent and scary as "The Shining". The story covers the adult life of Danny Torrance. An absolute MUST READ.

Kubrick's film is amazing and I love it. But King's mini-series hews closer to his book. And I honestly think Stephen Weber was a better (closer to the book) Jack Torrance.
