We’ve got another great horror classic for you on Sunday, November 2, at noon: Stanley Kubrick’s film of Stephen King’s The_Shining. Claire King is our faculty facilitator.
One of the scariest films ever made, it is said that Robin Williams and Robert de Niro were among those considered for the Jack Torrance role, but that Jack Nicholson was Kubrick’s first choice. Nicholson would make this one of his most iconic performances as well as perhaps his most quoted. As a writer whose wife (Shelly Duvall) and son (Danny Lloyd) accompany him on a seasonal stint as a caretaker for the Overlook Hotel, a character in its own right, the isolation experienced by the family undergoes a slow collision with the spirits of the hotel. With Scatman Crothers! 1980, color, 35mm, 146min.
