    The Shining (1997)

    Stephen King spent many years after Stanley Kubrick's 1980 adaptation of his book lamenting its existence because of how it deviated from his work. In the 1990s following the success of the 1990 IT miniseries he got his wish to help oversee what he considers a more "true" adaptation of his novel. Join us as we discuss the Mick Garris take of Stephen King's novel about a recovering alcoholic teacher/writer who is hired as a caretaker for a haunted hotel and brings his family with him during an isolated Colorado winter.

    Almost 40 years after the film adaptation of The Shining, we get a bit of a sequel/bridge between the Kubrick vision and Stephen King's novel.

Dan must connect with a gifted child named Abra to help stave off a band of roaming vampires who feast of children that shine.

    The Shining (1980)

    Our true first episode of 2026, we are going into the world of Stephen King... Kinda. This 1980 adaptation of classic novel definitely changes the story of the work it is based on. Stanley Kubrick's horror masterpiece tells the story of Jack Torrance (played by Jack Nicholson) who takes a new job as the caretaker for The Overlook, a beautiful hotel in the Colorado mountains where he, his wife Wendy, and son Danny will be left alone in for the winter.
