In 1980, Stanley Kubrick went to the Timberline Lodge to film “The Shining.” On Oct. 31st, the Timberline will celebrate the film with a re-creation of the ball.
One of my commenters is going, and sent this update:
“I just received an email saying that, in addition to the 20s-era ball, they’ll be screening themed 16mm educational films in a separate room, with titles like Ready To Type, Don’t Be Afraid, Surviving The Cold, and Is A Career In The Hotel Or Motel Business For You?“
This thing is going to be great.
Here’s a little trivia for ya:
The Timberline Lodge was used for the front exterior but the interiors were shot at Elstree Studios in London. Kubrick changed the script and used a fictitious room number (237) because Timberline was afraid no one would want to stay in room 217 again after seeing the movie.
