Haunted. Cursed. Malevolent. Where does one even begin when it comes to the Stanley Kubrick adaptation of the Stephen King novel THE SHINING? This week on Kill By Kill, we’re exploring the impact of this totemic film on horror and cinema, and the very conflict between creatives behind it. Here to help us search these endless hallways for clues is writer (Deathbed: Horror Stories by Comedy Writers) and comedian Ritch Duncan!! Along the way, we dig into the origins of the King novel, how he bared his soul about his private parenting fears, and his complex reactions to a film that sets aside those literary intentions for a specifically crafted cinematic experience!! All this, plus Copyright Killers, trash-talking screenwriters, bad slashers, butt scares, Looney Tunes escapes, bad snackers, the many, many pop culture references to The Shining, and an all-work-and-no-play edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Download this episode and play it forever, and ever and ever…
