About this Episode

Forty-five years later, the impact of The Shining on pop culture is undeniable. From writers and musicians to filmmakers and comedians, the story has been praised, parodied, and even sequeled. In this concluding episode of our two-part Halloween special at the Overlook Hotel, we explore just how far The Shining has reached. The frontmen of Murder By Death and DeVotchKa reveal their surprising musical connections to the novel and the hotel. Rebecca Pittman, a historian of hauntings, returns to share her experiences working there. Room 237 director Rodney Ascher shares an unbelievable story, and horror legend Mick Garris tells us about the version of The Shining that has been unfairly forgotten by the world.
