Hello and welcome to Does It Adapt?! This month, we are tackling more adaptions of the beloved horror author, Stephen King! On this episode, we will be swimming into a sea of suspense, surrealism and slumber with The Shining and Doctor Sleep! Cherished by many, Stanley Kubrick's take on the classical novel has been seen as a masterpiece by many a viewer. However, according to the the book's own author, Kubrick meddled with the overarching story too much and lead to Mr. King's disdain of the film. Enter Mike Flanagan, who directed and helped bring to life the sequel novel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep. King has shown his admiration for entry and has praised its direction. We discuss our thoughts on both films, differences from the book to screen and address why we feel Mike Flanagan's approach to the sequel reinforced Kubrick's vision to make both films a force to be reckoned with. So will all work and no play make us a couple of dull boys or do we see a terrific and triumphant turn of two tumultuous titans come forth to make us scream in terror?
