If you’re unfamiliar with the original movie, it was based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. Have you read the book or do you prefer to just see the movies?

The Shining follows Jack Torrance, his wife and son (Danny) as they stay in the historic Overlook Hotel. Jack is an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic who decides to work as the off-season caretaker in the hotel. Danny begins to possess psychic abilities that let him see into the hotel’s horrible past. It is one of the scariest movies ever. For instance, do you remember that twin scene?
