One of the author’s favorite novels, King signed on to write all eight episodes of the series himself in a doggedly faithful retelling, one that could have benefitted from some distance.
Fans of Stephen’s King’s novel, “The Shining,” or the movie of the same name starring Jack Nicholson will remember the Overlook Hotel where the action took place. The hotel which inspired King’s novel and eventually became the location where the TV miniseries’ hotel scenes were shot is the real Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, and it popped up this week with a recent ghost story of its own – one that will be added to the list of its ghost tales that include Room 217.
“So last night I decided it would be fun to go on a ghost tour at the beautiful iconic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. I took a ton of pictures during the tour of the inside of the Hotel as this is what they tell you to do as you never know what you’ll see on them. After the tour, my friends and I took more pictures on the outside of the Hotel and I was so surprised at what I didn’t see when taking them but what I saw after.”
