-- In 1966 Stanley Kubrick told a friend that he wanted to make "the world's scariest movie."

The World's Scariest Movie
The making of Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece of modern horror
"The Shining may be the first movie that ever made its audience jump with a title that simply says, 'Tuesday,'" proclaimed The New York Times. Never has a film evoked so much dread in its audience with so little gore than Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the 1977 novel by the master of terror himself, Stephen King, where true horror lies in the darkest corners of domesticity and isolation.
Equally a study of the intricate mechanics of Kubrick's genius as an in-depth look at the making of a visual masterpiece, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining gathers hundreds of hours of exclusive new interviews with the cast and crew in an unprecedented look at the 1980 cult classic. Slip in through the back door of The Overlook Hotel to witness Kubrick's endless rounds of script rewrites, his revolutionary use of the Steadicam, the mechanics behind the infamous blood elevator, the mysterious mid-filming fire at Elstree Studios, and the countless takes needed to satisfy the meticulous force that was Kubrick.
Conceived and edited by Academy Award-winning director Lee Unkrich, dubbed by The Hollywood Reporter as "the world's foremost Shining aficionado," with text by best-selling author J.W. Rinzler and a foreword by Steven Spielberg, this limited Collector's Edition is the definitive compendium of the film that transformed the horror genre.
The three-volume collection designed by M/M Paris includes hundreds of never-before-seen production photographs from the Stanley Kubrick Archive and the personal collections of cast and crew, rare documents and correspondence, conceptual art, an exclusive look at deleted scenes, and more-along with a deluxe set of facsimile reproductions of ephemera from the film.
