I finally read this book by Stephen King after hearing that Kate based her song "Get Out Of My House" from The Dreaming on the book. Also, the book is set in Colorado, where I live.It's a terrifying...

Undoutedly one of Stephen King's very best. Very scary, very atmospheric. A very good modern ghost story in the American tradition of The Haunting of Hill HousePeterHomeGround the Kate Bush Magazine

I love Kubrick's film, as well, although King hated it. He went back and made their dreadful mini-series for television of The Shining and totally ruined it.

I didn't know they made two movies of The Shining. I've only heard of the one with Jack Nicholson, and I've seen the hotel in Estes Park where they filmed it, but I've never seen the movie...

Suzume....don't bother to find the mini-series of The Shining. It's total crap. They got Rebecca DeMornay in Shelly Duvall's part and she is horrible. Just forget I ever mentioned it.

OK, I'll have to look for the real movie sometime. And I should have said, I'll never listen to "Get Out of My House" again in the same way!

"The Haunting Of Hill House" is a truly great book. Another one I would put in that catergory, Peter, is "The House Next Door" by Anne Rivers Siddons. Scared me, anyway!

I was listening to 'Get Out Of My House' in the car on the way home from work today. That song is just so full of different 'textures' for want of a better word. It just so well represents the film,...

It amazes me that King did not like Kubrick's version as it is clearly, in my humble opinion, one of the best horror films ever made. It is in my top three. I agree Collin that the tv mini series...

Get Out of My House is a fantastic fusion of two different ideas; the basic atmosphere from the story/film (I think Kate said she had read the book in addition to seeing the film), and the...

For me the most terrifying thing about The Shining is the way it plays on every child's deepest subconscious fear; that a parent is actually a monster. Horrifying.

I think Dolores Claiborne is one of the most underrated and best adaptations of a King novel ever. Kathy Bates nails the part perfectly. I love that line when she hits her husband in the head with...

Quote:"If you hit me again, one of us is going to the bone yard." Love it, love it, love it. TOTALLY agree! And that sounds SO Stephen King-ish as well. I have not read the book, but I can see that...

I was very disappointed with "The Shining" film....after all the build up,i still think the actual ending is too rushed.

Of course the ending of The Shining is totally different than what King had in the book. Kubrick wanted to film the topiary animals coming to life, but thought it looked ridiculous and fake at the...
