The Making of The Shining

Posted by Travis On October - 30 - 2009

Halloween is right around the corner, for those of you unfamiliar with this: Halloween is a day when people celebrate their ancestors and holy saints by wearing masks and eating candy (I know it doesn’t make much sense). Anyway to commemorate this Hallows eve, we bring you behind one of the greatest horror films of all time “The Shining”.

It may be the ultimate fly on the wall experience when a director like Stanley Kubrick gives his 17 year old daughter a camera and says “film us making this”. The video below is the full 35 minute documentary directed by Vivian Kubrick from the set of “The Shining”. It’s fascinating to see how somebody like Jack Nicholson acts off set then to see him transform for one of the films most intense scenes.

Check the video out below then tell us what you think.
