The Shining Wiki

Welcome to The Shining Wiki
This community was created by the fans, for the fans. It is dedicated to housing a useful and informative database for all subject matter related to the series *The Shining*, which was created first as a novel by Stephen King, made as a film by Stanley Kubrick, remade as a television miniseries by director Mick Garris, turned into an opera with music by composer Paul Moravec and a libretto by Mark Campbell, and remade as a haunted house for Universal Studios' 2017 annual Halloween Horror Nights theme. Our goal is to collaborate with other fans in order to build a reliable, accurate resource with as much detailed information about the novel, the film, the miniseries, the opera, the soundtrack, merchandise, references and theories as possible. All are welcome to join in and contribute here, so long as edits are constructive, discussions are positive, and both are relevant to this series.
The online database about *The Shining* currently has 221 articles, and you can help us make it grow!

REDRUM! REDRUM!

     **Halloween Horror Nights** is the name of an annual Halloween celebration at Universal Studios, at their locations in both Hollywood, California and Orlando, Florida.

One of the five films chosen for their 2017 Halloween theme is the 1980 Stanley Kubrick film adaptation of the 1977 Stephen King novel *The Shining*.

Both locations built an Overlook Hotel themed maze which takes the viewer through a recreation of the story, from start to finish.
