response: So when you read the story, did you find Jack Nicholson a good choice for Jack-the-writer-and alcoholic who becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel?
history: i m afraid of clowns Sounds interesting, was it after the modern evil clown archetype got popular due to "It"? That was Stephen King's 1986 novel. Yeah, it really bothered me a lot and I'm already not a fan of horror films. Like The Shining. Ah, you mean the 1980 horror film that had Stanley Kubrick as director and producer? Yeah that's the one! Do you know anything else about "The Shining"?
knowledge: ''The Shining'' is about Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic, who accepts a position as the off-season caretaker of the isolated historic Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies.
