I first saw this shining on VHS at a slumber party, and it was utterly unprepared for it, but I was never the same.

I always wondered what happened to Danny when he grew up, and I felt that I had a story to tell.

Danny Torrance is still being haunted by the events that took place at the Overlook Hotel.

Theo Shining refers to psychic ability.

People who can actually affect the physical world with their thoughts.

Read the minds of others.

Danny is so traumatized by what he's been through, he has no idea how to deal with this.

One of the things that I wanted to see was a man at the end of his rope.

What do you wanna do, Hear something different than I've been doing something better?

You can't really recover until you finally reach your bottom.

And I wanted to see that in Dan on the screen.

Dan Torrance's philosophy early on in the story is not Thio.

Use the shine.

He's drunk to suppress the horrible visitations that spirits that are from the Overlook Hotel.

Yeah, you imagine Like me, E was called it.

The Shining Things is a story that's about Dan still out there dealing with the shining in a world that is dark and horrifying, thes devil's way, people that we can relate to it.

That's to a large extent what makes the scary part scary.

You are special little thing.

Dan's worst fear.

The worst thing you could imagine is for him to have to come back to the hotel.

Mike's movie stands on its own, but it's also a terrific sequel to Stanley Kubrick's film Thistles.

For anyone who is going to enjoy being petrified in a movie theater, it was a movie I was desperate to see, yeah.
