In 1966 Stanley Kubrick told a friend that he wanted to make "the world’s scariest movie.” A decade later, Stephen King’s The Shining landed on the director’s desk, and a visual masterpiece was born. This definitive compendium of the film that transformed the horror genre features hundreds of never-before-seen photographs, rare production ephemera from the Kubrick Archive, and extensive new interviews with the cast and crew. The 2,000-page book includes rewrites from Kubrick, first-hand accounts of the fire at Elstree Studios, a breakdown of how iconic scenes were put together, and photographs sourced directly from the director’s archive.
