In 1973 author Stephen King stayed in the Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colorado. An hotel where employees have heard a party taking place in the grand ballroom when it is empty. An hotel where children have been heard playing in the corridors but there was no-one there. An hotel where guests have reported seeing ghostly figures and where a ghost is blamed for things going missing.
Sound familiar?
In 1977 Stephen King's book The Shining was published which was adapted to film by Stanley Kubrick in 1980. The Kubrick film was largely shot in Elstree Studios, the interiors being based not on the Stanley but on the Ahwahnee Hotel, Yosemite, California and the exterior of the fictional Overlook Hotel was the Timberline Lodge in Oregon. The Stanley Hotel was however used in a TV adaptation of The Shining.
