Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon react to Doctor Sleep (2019 – Director's Cut), the chilling and emotional supernatural horror sequel to The Shining — written and directed by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, Gerald's Game). Based on Stephen King's 2013 novel, this haunting continuation bridges King's world and Stanley Kubrick's classic vision, expanding the legacy of trauma, addiction, and psychic power known as “the shining.” The film stars Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Moulin Rouge!) as Dan Torrance, now an adult still scarred by the events at the Overlook Hotel. Struggling with alcoholism and inner demons, Dan finds new purpose when he meets Abra Stone, a young girl with powerful psychic abilities, played by Kyliegh Curran (I Can I Will I Did, Secrets of Sulphur Springs). Together, they must face the terrifying cult known as The True Knot, led by the mesmerizing and sinister Rose the Hat, played by Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Dune). The Director's Cut, running nearly three hours, deepens the emotion, world-building, and psychological horror — offering fans the definitive version of Flanagan's masterpiece.

A chilling blend of psychological dread, supernatural terror, and stunning visual precision, The Shining remains one of the most haunting and analyzed horror films ever made. The story follows Jack Torrance (played by Jack Nicholson – One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Batman) as an aspiring writer who takes a winter caretaker job at the isolated Overlook Hotel with his wife Wendy (played by Shelley Duvall – Popeye, 3 Women) and their young son Danny (Danny Lloyd).

Kubrick's meticulous direction, paired with Nicholson's unforgettable performance, turned The Shining into a genre-defining classic that continues to influence filmmakers and terrify audiences decades later. Iconic and highly searched moments include “Here's Johnny!”, the blood-flooded elevator, the twin girls in the hallway, “All work and no play…”, and the hedge maze finale. With its eerie sound design, haunting score by Wendy Carlos & Rachel Elkind, and hypnotic cinematography by John Alcott, The Shining is a cinematic descent into madness that still chills to the core.

We're back this week with a belated Halloween special—and we're finally tackling The Shining! Stanley Kubrick's 1980 classic traps us in the snowbound Overlook Hotel, where Jack Torrance's plans to write and reconnect with his family spiral into madness. We'll talk about the film's haunting imagery, its lasting influence on horror, and—of course—Jack's palpable resentment for the woman he willingly married. Plus, we dig into Stephen King's well-documented hatred for Kubrick's adaptation and why the author felt the film missed the heart of his story. Grab your typewriter, your tricycle, and your room key—it's time to shine.

Hereinspaziert ins ikonische Overlook-Hotel! 1980 schuf der Regisseur Stanley Kubrick eines der verehrtesten und auch umstrittensten Werke an der Grenze von Genrekino und Filmkunst. "The Shining", eher vage auf einem Bestseller von Stephen King basierend, ist ein einzigartiger Albtraum aus Farben und Formen, Architektur und Klängen, für ein breites Publikum gedacht und trotzdem voller Avantgarde-Bezüge. Pia Reiser und Christian Fuchs verbeugen sich in einer dichten Spezialfolge vor dem Horror-Meilenstein mit Jack Nicholson und Shelley Duvall. Sendungshinweis: FM4 Film Podcast, 03.11.2025, 0 Uhr

Turn down the lights and check into the Overlook Hotel in this special Halloween episode! This episode was originally released on Monday Oct 28, 2019.

Happy Halloween! On the fifty- second episode of All the Film Things, my friend and ATFT regular, movie critic Matthieu Côté joins me for an analytical discussion about Stanley Kubrick's 1980 psychological horror classic, The Shining! This episode is spoiler- filled and contains some explicit language.The Shining, a classic psychological horror film which unnerves you instantly with its eerie score, almost entirely takes place at the Overlook Hotel that lies in isolation atop an Indian burial ground. Jack Torrance, played brilliantly by Jack Nicholson, accepts a job as the winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, when the hotel is out of commission, in order to get five months of peace and quiet to help him write his book. He brings along his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd) and, over time, isolation begins to wear on them... especially Jack. Over the course of the film, Jack becomes increasingly mad while Danny's gift of "shining" haunts him of the hotel's evil past, present, and future. While the film is based on Steven King's 1977 book of the same title, King publicly criticized the film on numerous occasions because of the liberties Kubrick took that departed from his original story. King wasn't the only one who disliked the film because, shockingly, The Shining is one of those films, like 12 Angry Men and Fight Club, that wasn't well- received at the time of its release. It wasn't until the film started airing on TV at the end of the 80s that public opinion shifted in favor of Kubrick's film. Today, 45 years later, The Shining is widely considered one of the greatest horror films ever made and contains one of Jack Nicholson's very best performances.This is Matthieu's fourth time on the podcast and he has rapidly earned the title of “ATFT regular”! I had been wanting to do an episode on The Shining for over three years now and when I learned it was Matthieu's favorite film of all time, I knew he was the one to join me in celebrating The Shining for both it's 45th anniversary and Halloween. While Matthieu is enamored with the horror genre, I very much shy away from it. The Shining is my favorite horror film and one of the only few I can really watch, in the daytime of course. This episode was recorded on October 2, 2025. Matthieu has been steadily interviewing filmmakers and actors through both his personal YouTube channel, @matthieucote2272, and through Horreur Québec for a few years now. Most recently, Matthieu was able to check off a bucket list interviewee off his list when he interviewed James Wan. Click to watch that interview here! Also, a few years ago, Matthieu made an analytical video essay analyzing a scene in The Shining titled “The Shining (And the Path to Redemption)- Scene Breakdown” which I highly recommend watching for his incredible insight to the character of Jack Torrence and performance by Jack Nicholson. Subscribe to Matthieu's YouTube channel by clicking here to watch his past interviews, video essays, and more! In this episode, we attempt to understand The Shining's biggest mysteries and discuss the most popular theories about the famous ending. Our analytical conversation, though wide- encompassing, is a bit sporadic since there is seemingly infinite points of discussion through every aspect of this film. It's overwhelming and we only scratched the surface. In this episode, Matthieu and I share our rocky roads to appreciating this film, Kubrick's clever tricks in deceiving the audience, and how Grady could have possibly opened that storage room door for Jack. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Music credit: CURSE by Mehul ShaRma | https://www.instagram.com/mehul_sharmaofficial/Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US
Today I'm breaking down one of the most enigmatic endings in horror film history! The ending of The Shining isn't just about madness, ghosts, or cabin fever; it's about consumption. The Overlook Hotel doesn't merely haunt its guests; it devours them. By the time Jack Torrance swings his axe through the snow-covered halls, he's no longer a man losing control. He's a man who's been completely absorbed by the building itself, body and soul. That's the real horror of The Shining: evil doesn't simply kill you, it keeps you.
This week, Rob, Dave, and Kurt dive deep into one of the most haunting and visually striking films of the 1980s—Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Released in 1980 and based (loosely) on Stephen King's novel, the film stars Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance, a struggling writer who takes a job as the winter caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel. Alongside his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and young son Danny (Danny Lloyd), Jack's descent into madness unfolds through Kubrick's signature slow-burn tension, eerie atmosphere, and unforgettable imagery—from the ghostly twins in the hallway to that chilling “Here's Johnny!” moment. The crew explores how The Shining went beyond traditional horror to become a psychological masterpiece. They'll dig into Kubrick's meticulous direction, Nicholson's unhinged performance, and the film's enduring mysteries—from the Overlook's sinister layout to the cryptic final photograph. Expect theories, trivia, and maybe even a few laughs as Rob, Dave, and Kurt revisit what many consider the ultimate blend of artistry and terror in 1980s cinema Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

Jack, Wendy, and Danny Torrance stay at The Overlook Hotel, caring for the estate during its off-season period. Jack has been outlining a new writing project and believes that five months of peace is just what's needed, but all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Fortunately, Danny has been mentored by Dick Hallorann, who provides cautionary advice and special instructions such as, "Stay out of Room 237," guidance that helps Danny stay one step ahead of dangers that lie within The Overlook, helping Danny evade the horrors that his father Jack will unleash.

Our trip to Stephen King country takes us on a trip out to snowy Colorado for a stay at The Overlook Hotel. It's time for The Shining! Stanley Kubrick and co-writer Diane Johnson infamously made many changes in their adaptation of Stephen King's novel, causing King to get so frustrated he wrote a new adaptation for TV himself. Yet, The Shining lives on, and is widely acclaimed as one of Kubrick's best films. Friend of the show Joaquin Dominguez joins us to discuss one of his most-watched movies of all time as we check in with this influential horror classic. What's your favorite Stephen King adaptation? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com
Joel and Andy are continuing to discuss the 1997 The Shining miniseries. Things are getting tense at the Overlook Hotel as Danny finds his way into Room 217.
This week on The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, Clay and Amanda are tackling a film that might just be the most confusing sequel in horror history: Mike Flanagan's Doctor Sleep (2019). Now, don't get me wrong — it's a solid, spooky ride with Ewan McGregor as an older Danny Torrance, still haunted by the Overlook and trying to cope with his powers. But here's the thing: is this a sequel to *The Shining* the book? Or *The Shining* the movie? Or some strange in-between hybrid stitched together with ghostly typewriters and whiskey breath? Because I swear, every time I try to explain it to someone, I feel like I need a chalkboard, some red string, and a shot of bourbon.On the one hand, Doctor Sleep is based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, which itself was written as a direct sequel to his original Shining book. That means we're supposed to be following King's continuity — the one where the Overlook Hotel burned to the ground at the end. But on the other hand, Flanagan clearly loves Kubrick's *film*, and he goes out of his way to make *Doctor Sleep* visually and tonally connect to that version. Which means the Overlook is still standing, the carpet patterns are back, and suddenly it feels like we're living in a cinematic multiverse before Marvel made it cool.Clay and Amanda dive into all this messy, fascinating crossover territory — breaking down how Flanagan managed to honor both King and Kubrick, while still creating something that stands on its own. They'll also talk about Rebecca Ferguson's terrifyingly charismatic performance as Rose the Hat, creepy steam-slurping cults, and what happens when childhood trauma grows up with you.Me? I'm still stuck asking: so wait… which Shining is this shining shining from?And don't forget to head over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile to follow Clay and Amanda down the muddy path of remakes and reboots too!

Will the gang uncover new interpretations of the text, or will they succumb to the Overlook's sinister grasp once again?

Feeling like you're in a maze, especially in these apocalyptic times? How about I make an Astro Gnosis lecture public that will get you out of this cosmic Overlook Hotel labyrinth? Steven Snider unravels the deep symbolism behind the "Oubliette" — a recurring labyrinthine motif in art, literature, psychology, and pop culture. Inspired by haunting dreams and shaped by centuries of philosophical and artistic expression, let's journey through the architecture of the subconscious and the mythic roots of infinite reality. From Piranesi's impossible prisons to Borges' quantum labyrinths and Hellraiser's mechanical horrors, Steven traces the Oubliette as a dark mirror of the human psyche. He weaves connections between surreal art, psychoanalysis, and mathematical paradoxes to explore how this ancient structure may be embedded in our very consciousness. Of course, he covers M. C. Escher.

The Scariest Movie EVER Made? Well upon its initial release forty-five years ago, not many critics saw it that way INCLUDING the author of the original novel which this film was based on, Stephen King. But over time, this psychological thriller directed by the late, great Stanley Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut) has garnerned not only a devoted following but a never-ending stream of speculation about what it meant. Many love it for the memorable main lead performance by Oscar-winner Jack Nicholson (Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Batman) as Jack Torrance, an aspiring writer whose family ends up situated at a VERY remote location known as the Overlook Hotel....he's an aspiring writer but as the winter progresses, he starts to lose his mind. Also with him are his beleaguered wife Wendy played by the late, great Shelley Duvall (Popeye, 3 Women, Roxanne) and their young son Danny (Danny Lloyd) who has begun to experience a sort of psychic power known as.....THE SHINING. :o Also co-starring Scatman Crothers, Joe Turkel, and Barry Nelson, this horror classic has launched spin-off documentaries, weak imitations, and loads of memes - let's head to the Overlook Hotel!

In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we dive deep into the eerie world of The Shining — both Stephen King's original novel and Stanley Kubrick's polarizing 1980 film adaptation. They share a title… but tell two very different stories. We compare and contrast the drastically different portrayals of Jack Torrance, the mystery of the Overlook Hotel, and how each version tackles psychological horror. No wonder King famously hated the film — and we unpack why.We also talk about how King's book lays a far stronger foundation for Doctor Sleep, and lightly touch on original documentaries that offer insight into Kubrick's filmmaking process.So grab your axe and your typewriter (but maybe not both), and join us for a fascinating, spooky analysis of one of horror's most iconic stories.Instagram: @terrortalkpodcastYouTube: TerrorTalk PodcastFacebook: Halloween All Year LongTikTok: @dark.psychology.girlsAll music for this episode is by Mannequin Uprising.
“Here's Johnny!” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting duo – Ian & Liam (with Megs checking in later once she arrives from Florida) – as we snowmobile into the Overlook Hotel for our 280th episode (B-Tech Kev's not here. Doesn't he get that all work and no play make Kev a dull boy?) and crack open Stanley Kubrick's psychological horror masterpiece The Shining (1980). We're trading ditching the swim team for haunted hallways and axing our way through one of the most iconic films ever made as we discuss: Liam talks far too much about a film that we're not reviewing today (but what else is new?). We correct a few political misnomers from last week, because facts matter—especially when ghosts are listening. Ian talks about the passing of George Wendt; Liam, not to be outdone, imagines the hypothetical passing of one of his heroes. Megs joins us and delivers a full-on mini-episode as she trials her new sidepod and recounts her real-life triumph over the forces of nature. We debate whether Jack Nicholson is giving a genuinely strong performance… or just letting his charisma do all the heavy lifting. Is there causality in this story—or is it all just vibes? And if there isn't, shouldn't that break the movie? Ian reveals who he's in good company with on this one—and who he most certainly is not. Ian also explains the origin of the iconic “Here's Johnny!” line to, well… everyone. Ian asks if this movie is trying to cram two different horror movies into one Liam swears this isn't a horror movie and the boys try to come up with a list of what makes a film a horror film Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

fWotD Episode 2893: The Suicide of Rachel Foster Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 6 April 2025 is The Suicide of Rachel Foster.The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a 2020 adventure video game developed by One-O-One Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment. Set in December 1993, the story follows Nicole Wilson returning to her family's hotel to inspect and sell it. Ten years prior, Nicole and her mother left the Timberline Hotel after learning of her father's affair with the teenaged Rachel Foster. After being forced to stay longer than expected due to a snowstorm, Nicole decides to investigate Rachel's mysterious suicide with the assistance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) agent Irving Crawford; her only contact with the outside world. The player controls Nicole as she navigates the Timberline Hotel, collecting various items to solve puzzles and progress with the story, all the while using a mobile phone to converse with Irving.One-O-One Games aimed to make a horror game that created fear from suspense rather than traditional monsters, developing the narrative and gameplay simultaneously to complement each other. The game was set in a hotel due to the developers' belief this would elicit fear and claustrophobia in players; in particular, the Overlook Hotel from the horror film The Shining (1980) served as inspiration for the Timberline Hotel. One-O-One Games designed The Suicide of Rachel Foster as a walking simulator to explore real-life topics, due to the genre's focus on narrative and exploration. They sought professional advice to portray delicate topics such as child sexual abuse and suicide compassionately.Daedalic released The Suicide of Rachel Foster for Windows in February 2020, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in September 2020, and for Nintendo Switch in October 2021. The game received mixed reviews from critics. Praise was aimed at the setting and sound design, as well as at Nicole and Irving, their relationship, and the actors' performances, while the plot and mystery, as well as some gameplay aspects, received a mixed reception. Critics responded overwhelmingly negatively to the depiction of child sexual abuse and suicide, arguing the game does not handle these topics sensitively; the ending was criticized for forcing players to participate in an interactive suicide attempt. A sequel, The Fading of Nicole Wilson, was announced in October 2024 and is set to release in 2025.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:12 UTC on Sunday, 6 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see The Suicide of Rachel Foster on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kajal.
Esplora il mondo inquietante e disturbante di Shining di Stanley Kubrick, un capolavoro cinematografico che continua a tormentare il pubblico ancora oggi. Dall'enigmatico e isolato Overlook Hotel alla mente tormentata di Jack Torrance, ci addentreremo nei segreti più oscuri e nelle teorie che circondano questo classico dell'horror. Shining non è un semplice film horror. È un enigma visivo, un labirinto di simboli nascosti, di messaggi subliminali, di significati occulti. Per decenni, critici e appassionati hanno cercato di decifrarne i segreti, e più si guarda in profondità, più si scopre che nulla è lasciato al caso. Ogni inquadratura, ogni dettaglio della scenografia, ogni battuta sembra nascondere qualcosa di più. Ci sono teorie che parlano di riferimenti alla massoneria, alla numerologia, ai rituali esoterici e oscure confessioni del regista. Altri vedono nel film un'allegoria dei traumi della storia americana, dalla colonizzazione ai programmi segreti del governo. Ma qual è la verità? Qual era l'intento di Kubrick? E se Shining non fosse solo un film, ma un vero e proprio messaggio in codice destinato solo a chi sa leggerlo?

Get bonus episodes on Patreon! The Shining is a Doctor Faustus retelling, but that's not the headline here. In this brand new theory, Cam argues that The Shining is a wholly unique restaging of Marlowe's original that expands the spotlight to not just focus on Jack Torrance as the current Faustus-analogue, but the legion of 'caretakers' that have come before him. In this framing, Mephisopheles stops being a singular character and instead expands to become the Overlook Hotel itself, a place for him to horde all of his ill-gotten souls.

Plus, hear personal stories about horror movie experiences, including Thomas' encounter with the real-life Stanley Hotel!

Stanley Kubrick's filmmaking techniques, such as Steadicam and impossible architecture, play a major role in unsettling the audience. Jack Nicholson's portrayal of Jack Torrance is both iconic and chilling, adding depth to the character's descent into madness. Wendy Torrance, while often criticized for being a flat character, plays a crucial role in demonstrating the horror from a “normal” person's perspective. The ending photograph continues to spark debate, with theories ranging from reincarnation to Jack being eternally trapped by the hotel. Memorable Quotes: “This is one of those films where the filmmaking ascends beyond the movie itself.” – Frank “Jack Nicholson's performance is just a masterclass in madness.” – Thomas “Kubrick's use of impossible architecture messes with your subconscious.” – Frank “The hotel is like a character itself, constantly shifting and playing with your mind.” – Thomas Call to Action: If you loved this breakdown of The Shining, don't forget to subscribe to Challenge Accepted on your favorite podcast platform!

Viewing historic pictures from the Lord Baltimore Hotel conjures images of the Overlook Hotel and Jack Torrance standing for a photo with a large group of guests. It's heyday came during the glitz and glamour of the 20s and 30s. The hotel has stood for nearly 100 years and hosted several notable people. It also was the scene of several suicides after the Stock Market Crash. And for that reason, despite its historic charm, there are many ghosts hanging around the hotel. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Lord Baltimore Hotel. The Moment in Oddity features El Ojo and This Month in History features Bruce Mozert Photography.

Jack Torrance moves his family into The Overlook Hotel for the winter so he can concentrate on his book. His son's special ability reveals a troubled history which soon begins to impose itself on Jack, leading to a delusional and murderous finale. Stanley Kubrick's multi layered masterpiece was dismissed by critics, nominated for Razzies and hated by Stephen King. But quick reappraisal established The Shining as a pop culture icon and one of the greatest horror movies ever. All The Right Movies' credit is fine as we check into the Overlook Hotel to talk about The Shining.

Cornell philosopher David Shoemaker joins us for a long winding journey up to the Overlook Hotel, a DEEP dive on Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. We tackle all the big questions - is the hotel truly haunted? What if anything does it symbolize? Why are there two Gradys and two sets of daughters? How does the filmmaking – and the Steadicam in particular - amplify our sense of dread? Does Jack shine too? How does he get out of the storage closet? Is Shelly Duval's performance actually brilliant? What the fuck is up with Bill? Should the Overlook have included a land acknowledgment? And lots more. Come listen to us, forever and ever and ever….
