A Scene From “The Shining”
Back on the big screen just in time for Halloween, Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies and Warner Bros. Entertainment present a limited return of Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 masterpiece, The Shining. The iconic film returns to cinemas nationwide for a special two-day event this October as part of Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies’ TCM Big Screen Classics series. TCM Big Screen Classics: The Shining will screen on Sunday, Oct. 23 and Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM local time — on both days — and will include exclusive commentary by Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz.
From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel, director Stanley Kubrick melds vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a macabre milestone. In a signature role, Jack Nicholson plays Jack Torrance, who’s come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel, as the off-season caretaker with his wife (Shelley Duvall) and son (Danny Lloyd). Torrance has never been there before — or has he? The answer lies in a ghostly time warp of madness and murder.
Tickets to TCM Big Screen Classics: The Shining can be purchased online from www.FathomEvents.com.
