    • Trivia
      For the scene in which Jack breaks down the bathroom door, the props department built a door that could be easily broken. However, Jack Nicholson had worked as a volunteer fire marshal and tore it apart far too easily. The props department were then forced to build a stronger door.
    • Goofs
      During the long shot of the Overlook Hotel in the beginning (right before The Interview title card), the maze cannot be seen, though throughout the rest of the movie it is rather close to the hotel.
    • Quotes

      Jack Torrance: Here's Johnny!

    • Crazy credits
      The party music plays over the closing credits. After it ends, we hear the Overlook Hotel ghosts applaud. They then talk amongst themselves until their voices fade away.
    • Alternate versions
      ABC edited 4 minutes from the film for its 1983 network television premiere.
    • Connections
      Edited into Hai-Kubrick (1999)
    • Soundtracks

    An absolute classic. Even if it does stray away from the novel.
    While I can understand a lot of Stephen King's arguments over Kubrick's vision, including casting Jack Nicholson who instead of a descent into madness looks insane from the first frame. This is still an absolute classic.
