Stanley Kubrick's psychological horror film, The Shining, is based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King, and focuses around Jack Torrance - a recovering alcoholic and an aspiring writer - who accepts a job as an off-season caretaker of the Overlook Hotel during the winter, along with his family. His son, Danny, possesses psychic abilities known as "the shining", which allows him to view the horrific past of the hotel where a previous caretaker killed his family and then himself. Shortly after a snowstorm leaves the hotel isolated, Jack's sanity starts to decline, and he starts to exhibit similar supernatural possession as his predecessor. The film was released to mixed reviews by critics, but has since become one of the most iconic horror films with a huge cult following, as well as increasing the popularity of Stephen King novels, which in turn influenced more films based on the author's works. To celebrate this iconic film, here's a selection of Displate artwork based on the classic horror!
