We take a chilling detour into horror with Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining—the film that made us all suspicious of typewriters, hotels, and long hallways. We talk Jack Nicholson’s unhinged performance, Shelley Duvall’s haunting resilience, and the maze of symbolism that keeps fans theorizing decades later. From adaptation faithfulness to endless carpet patterns, we unpack why this unsettling classic has held its place in the horror genre.
