The Shining—I’m hear to listen to your theories, user

Shelly Duval was the caretaker. She saw an old photo of a man and started to imagine he was real as the isolation of the hotel began to drive her mad.

It's a shame Stephen King turned into such a fucking cuck.

Tony is the killer

how i learned to stop worrying and love my wife

or at least tolerate her

Tony & Danny are both unpleasant dicks, but Tony is much more openly homicidal. He's the one who comes up with the plan to kill Jack.

So who went and interviewed with JFK looking guy? And then who drove them back up to the hotel after the job was won? And.... This sounds like some tumblr fan theory shit

Interesting

No.

Jack was a flesh vessel for an evil entity called Baphomet. His name is Jack because it is referencing Jacob in the Bible (hence, the song when the elevator opens with blood is called the Awakening of Jacob) who wrestled with an angel. This puts Jack in contest with God, hence he is a demon, cast out of heaven.


The opening song is by Berlioz, called Symphony Fantastique. Reading about that is incredibly enlightening as well, considering he was most likely experimenting with opium when he composed it.

He lost his innocence after that cause he thought his mother would tell the lady that her dad hurt him. She didn't. At that moment Danny plans to kill his dad.

>would tell the lady that her dad hurt him.
*his dad.

Fuck. Also if the Playgirl is anything, its deeper than the narrative lets on. Danny has all the signs of an abused child and Wendy ignores the situation to keep the farce of the family intact. Hence why Wendy is the one maintaining the hotel and the family.

t- there's someone in the hotel with us ?

Specifically it's the "Witches Sabbath" portion which features the 'Dies Irae' motif that features during the opening sequence.

He actually hates this version, but he loves the TV mini series that is closer to the book (and shittier)

>Man walks into bar. He is an alcohol and it is destroying his family.

This is scene is especially eerie in hindsight, given King's near death experience in a car accident.
