hello there. This is a thread for discussion about the classic horror story "the Shining". Feel free to discuss anything about it, pros and cons about the book or the movie, compare the book and the movie, or anything related to "The Shining"
After reading the book, I was thoroughly creeped out. The things that went on inside the hotel were creepy, and it was definitely one of Stephen King's scariest books. And stay out of room 217....

Can this also be about the movie?? I was so freaked out when the kid said "Red rum, Red rum". (shudders and starts rocking in a ball in the corner)

I didn't really get scared by the Pet semitary book. The only part of the shining that really scared me was not the hedge animals but the woman (if that's what you can call the being) in room 217.

Sorry about the double post, but at ghgt99, of course you can talk about the morning. I said that in the OP, although maybe not so clearly...

Oh yeah, I didn't see that. I just skimmed through it. Have you seen the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror spoof of that? It is called the Shinning and either Groundskeeper Willie or Homer go insane.
