“The Shining” is an excellent movie. I watched it this Halloween, and many times since it was released originally.
But the book! It scared the crap out of me! Much scarier than the movie. I expect that if the movie were made now computer graphics could take you places that only your mind could take you decades ago.
I’m done with scary movies/books. The images stay in my mind forever- I don’t like dwelling on darkness.
Midsommer Murders is about as gory as I can handle.
