Redrum, Redrum


I just returned from a conference in Estes, Colorado at the Stanley Hotel. Built in 1909 by the inventor of the Stanley Steamer, the hotel is apparently quite haunted. In fact, the spookiness so inspired Stephen King that he spent five months there in 1973 pounding out The Shining. Stanley Kubrick's version of the film wasn't shot at The Stanley, but much of the 1997 TV remake was filmed at the hotel. Unfortunately, I didn't see any ghosts during my stay, but I did see The Shining. The Kubrick version plays around the clock on the hotel TV channel. Link
