Scene from the Shining (Thom and Miriam) - Astoria Film Museum

As was requested, here's a shot of the Music Room at night. The previous shot was taken on the first afternoon we arrived in Estes Park. This shot was taken on our last night in the hotel. Earlier in the day the Music Room had been used to host a wedding reception, so all the chairs seen in the previous shot had been removed to make room for the tables you see stacked on the far right.

This is the inspiration of Steven King's novel The Shining. King and his wife stayed here in the early 70's for a brief visit, which turned out to be a dramatic one for the author, who reported having vivid nightmares and paranormal experiences while lodging there.

 

The Stanley Hotel is a 140-room neo-Georgian hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. Located within sight of the Rocky Mountain National Park, the Stanley offers panoramic views of the Rockies.

 

It was built by Freelan Oscar Stanley of Stanley Steamer fame and opened on July 4, 1909, catering to the rich and famous, including the RMS Titanic survivor Margaret Brown, John Philip Sousa, Theodore Roosevelt, the Emperor and Empress of Japan, and a variety of Hollywood personalities.

 

The hotel and its surrounding lands are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

 

Pam and I enjoyed our two-hour visit an tour there on the first day of our vacation in Colorado.

Here's a shot from the same session showing the fireplace and mirror. It's said that people who look into the mirror often see Flora Stanley standing in the room with them.

Another shot of the top of the main staircase. This one was taken by hand on the second day I was in the hotel. Think the ISO on this was cranked to 1600, but fortunately the exposure blend hasn't accentuated the noise too much.

For a big fan of Stanley Kubrick & the movie, The Shining. These were dried fondant panels which formed the sides of the actual cake (4x4x6").

 

I really tried to stay true to the exact detail in the movie, even down to the type of door knobs and patterns.

The Stanley Hotel shows the uncut R-rated version of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining on a continuous loop on Channel 42 on guest room televisions. The hotel served as inspiration for the fictional Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's novel, The Shining. King conceived the idea for his third novel while staying at an empty Stanley at the end of a season with his wife. Contrary to information sometimes published, King was living in Boulder at the time and did not actually write the novel at the hotel. The Shining tells the story of a writer with a wife and son who accept the job of off-season caretaker at an isolated hotel, and after a paralyzing storm becomes influenced by the supernatural presence and descends into madness. The 1997 ABC television miniseries, The Shining, was filmed at the Stanley, although Mount Hood, Oregon's Timberline Lodge, stood in as the Overlook for Kubrick's cinematic version.

 

The Stanley Hotel, located at 333 Wonder View Avenue within sight of the Rocky Mountain National Park, was built and designed by Freelan O. Stanley and opened on July 4, 1909. Forced by poor health to move West, F.O. Stanley, co-inventor of the Stanley Steamer automobile, arrived in Estes Park in 1903. In 1907, he purchased 160 acres of land from Lord Dunraven and began construction on the Main Building of the hotel, one of 11 in the original complex, with timber cut from the Bear Lake burn in 1900 from land now known as Rocky Mountain National Park. The hotel, which initially included an ice pond, a water reservoir, and a 9-hole golf course, catered to the rich and famous, including early guests like Titanic survivor Margaret Brown, John Philip Sousa, Theodore Roosevelt, and the Emperor and Empress of Japan. Today, the neoclassical hotel sits on 55 acres of property with 138 guest rooms.

 

Many believe that the Stanley's haunted history is not relegated to the fictional realm. It is believed that Flora, Stanley's wife, continues to play the Steinway Grand Piano, still located in the ballroom, that he bought her for the grand opening in 1901. People have reported hearing piano music, and seeing the piano keys move but someone crosses the threshold of the ballroom, the music stops. F.O. Stanley is believed to haunt the Billiard Room and Lobby. Lord Dunraven reportedly can be spotted in room 407, where he turns the lights off and on and makes strange noises. The fourth floor hallways are said to be haunted by ghost children. Kitchen staff have reported hearing a party going on in the ballroom, only to find it empty. In one guest room, people claim to have seen a man standing over the bed before running into the cupboard. This same apparition is allegedly responsible for stealing guests' jewellery, watches, and luggage.

I did this list of scary movies a while back and lately people have been asking me for it. Even though I see it as more sci-fi than horror, I'm missing the first Alien on here.

The night before the cake was to be picked up, the Shining actually played on TV and I realized that the walls of the apartment were pink, not white.

The bathroom door with the axe was my favourite. I gave the birthday boy a bag of piping gel blood to squeeze on dramatically before serving.

The light is fading but 'ere it fails, a one last luxurious blast bathes the Derwent Moors in Golden light. Its the one last glow before I go.

I've taken on the challenge of creating a series of photos inspired by some of the greatest cinematic works of the twentieth century. Nisim me "The Shining" e vitit 1980. Ndoshta filmi me trazues qe kam pare ndonjehere, te shtin tmerrin me bresheri. Psikohorror nga Sanley Kubrik dhe Stephen King (qe shkruajti romanin). Dhe interpretimin hipnotizues te Jack nicholson dhe Shelley Duvall. Kjo ketu eshte interpretimi i asaj qe ndodh me personazhin Jack Torrance.

No doubt Disney, the new owners of the Star Wars Franchise, would not approve of Stanley Kubrick's film choices.

 

Well, maybe 2001 : A Space Idiot with Jar Jar Binks would have gotten the greenlight. However, I'm betting on some bad blood between Jar Jar and Goofy, who'll accuse Jar Jar of stealing his material.

 

I'm expecting some fist fights in the Disney Employees Parking Lot, or at least a frying pan to the face.
