What's up stoners and horror hounds! Welcome back to Higher Education, where we're sparking up discussions on all things pop culture, with a heavy emphasis on the glorious world of horror.
Tonight, for another installment of "Gory Story Time," me and the kid are diving headfirst into the Stephen King-penned 1997 mini-series, The Shining. That's right, the OTHER Shining. You know, the one that King himself actually liked?
We've been watching horror together since he was in diapers, and now we're putting those years of cinematic terror to good use! Forget the Kubrick masterpiece (for a minute!), we're here to dissect the Mick Garris directed, three-part television event.
In this video, we'll be discussing:
* The faithfulness to the source material: Did King nail it by adapting his own novel?
* The performances: Steven Weber as Jack Torrance, anyone?
* The scares: Does it hold up to the chills of its cinematic predecessor?
* The Overlook Hotel: How does the mini-series' version stack up?
* And of course, the age-old debate: Is the mini-series actually BETTER than Kubrick's iconic film?
Join us for a hazy, hilarious, and in-depth look at this often-overlooked horror gem. We'll be sparking up, sharing some laughs, and delving into the depths of the Overlook's madness.
