The Shining (1980) - Theatrical Trailer 35MM

[@frazzle515]

This trailer is scarier than most full length horror films. Masterpiece.

[@FernieCanto]

I know! "Stephen King's masterpiece of modern horror"? Now that's one terrifying idea: if _that_ is a masterpiece, imagine the rest...

[@dougditches1496]

I saw the full film in the theater in 1980 when I was 6 years old, same age as Danny Torrance. Yes, my dad was a derelict parent. I saw the interview with Danny Lloyd many years later and he talked about how he didn't even know it was a horror movie because Kubrick was very protective of him and kept him off set during the scenes that might scrare him. My own dad saw my brother and I turned around in our seats crying and cackled like a lunatic thinking that was the funniest thing in the world. Nightmares woke me up for about 6 weeks after. I still see that scene with room 239 as an adult and experience a hellish dejavu as the scars are still there.

[@SilentG07]

@@FernieCanto No, this is Stanley Kubrick's _masterpiece of modern horror._ King may have written the book. But, Kubrick's film version is WAY different from King's book version of The Shining. Which is a masterpiece in its own right.

[@FernieCanto]

@@SilentG07 Regardless of whether King or Kubrick did it, the point stands: if a goofy, ridiculous flick like this is a "masterpiece of horror", imagine what a REGULAR horror flick is like.

[@lunarose698]

It's so simplistic yet so brilliant. Trailers for horror movies need to do this more often. Just this shot and the chilling music is enough to make me want to go back and rewatch this masterpiece of a film.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Yeah I'm absolutely sick of the trailer industry now. They all use the super-loud cymbals crashing and those Hans Zimmer bass trombone hits to blast your eardrums. It's just stupid, and cliché and it's been done to death. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's sick of it.

It's very hard to imagine what it was like watching this trailer without knowing what the rest of the movie is like. Today it's impossible because the movie is so famous. Everybody recognizes jack nicholson wearing the red corduroy jacket, holding the axe just like they remember the twin girls, and Wendy's pale, distressed look. But in this trailer we don't see any of that. It was left a mystery. People had the luxury of watching it and not knowing what to expect. It's something most people won't ever experience again

I remember seeing this trailer as a kid in the movie theater and it freaked me out. Oddly enough, my parents were Nicholson fans and took me to see this as they couldn't find a babysitter. I was 10. They kept asking if I was wanted to go home and tried covering my eyes. I had nightmares over this film for a while, but I loved it.

[@EngineerRiff]

I relate. I always want to see a movie until the end

[@colliric]

We all have that one R-rated adult horror movie our parents let us watch even though they shouldn't have.... I was 8 years old in 1992 and it was on the Hotel cable tv movie selection so we watched it. It can't have been too bad, after all it was listed as a "Thriller". The escape sequence where Lector takes the flesh mask off in the ambulance then leans in behind the paramedic still gives me nightmares.... For you it was The Shining, for me it was The Silence Of The Lambs! I still can believe my parents let us watch it.

[@Megatone230]

I remember going to see a full house 35mm screening of The Exorcist in 1997 at a theater in Minneapolis. Before the main feature they showed this trailer for The Shining (which was going to be screened the following week at the same theater.) Everyone in the audience was completely blown away and applauded after the Trailer! It was incredible seeing this on the big screen with full sound!

[@colliric]

A classic trailer before another absolutely classic horror film!

[@theatticaddict]

Man this teaser is perfect. It nails the ‘unsettling’ feeling. The set design of the hotel is so artistic, it’s old-fashioned, and mostly uses plain or dark colors.. really gives that eerie feeling. Even things that may not have been intended initially but have become creeper with time - the grainy aesthetic of an old tape, the mysteriously simple and almost boring text… The music as well… just so creepy. And the blood pouring out is the climax of the whole mood, even at the end, the way it blurs the camera, leaving you with an obscured vision of a huge amount of blood flooding an entire floor of a hotel.

[@winterlynn9012]

I wish I had been alive to see this trailer in 1980 (not to mention old enough to appreciate it) Even 40 years later it creates a feeling of dread and unease that very few other horror films have done.

[@ardillarojo]

I actually saw this trailer- during a matinee showing of Disney's "The Black Hole". And yes, everyone got freaked out by the images and the music. Here's the thing, I was only 9 at that time, but thanks to my brothers, I had already been exposed to Throbbing Gristle's infamous track "Hamburger Lady", which the music somewhat reminded me of when I saw the trailer back then. But far less so now.

[@joseguevara8321]

Mr. Burns: That's odd, usually the blood gets off at the second floor.

[@JLaRoc7]

This is a classic example of a trailer's simplicity working in its and the movie's favor. If this were released today, you'd get jump cuts, stupid jump scares and dub steps to kill off the suspense. Here, all it is a still shot of credits, an elevator that looks like an ominous face, some nerve-racking avant-garde music and a gush of blood (or rusted oil to convey the look of blood) pouring down. It's simple, it's effective and it's brilliant.

[@amandastill5124]

Also they never spoiled anything, in the original trailer, They just said to read the book.

[@MovieGuy666]

[@AntajuanGrady]

ikr; this is so GHOSTLY. There are certain scenes in the film like when Wendy sees the man with blooding running from the top of his head that is just too close to home for me! Why? Well, she's so distressed because she's looking for Danny, hoping axe welding Jack doesn't find him first and that's when the ghost decides to pop up. Think about when you see or experience a real ghost...your usually busy with something else! That's how real ghost are; it's like they can sense your stress or otherwise being preoccupied with something!

[@robertmcghintheorca49]

Interestingly, it was in 1980 that the concept of Green band and Red band trailers were being developed by the MPA. But this was just before they even came out, so logically, blood shouldn't have been allowed in film trailers. So Stanley Kubrick had to tell them that it was just rusty water coming out of the elevator.

[@kascnef]

Before that it was a blue trailer

[@jenniferweston7621]

The credits in both film and trailer roll upwards, perhaps the first time it was done. When I first saw this in London in 1980, I was almost alone (usually saw afternoon showings then) and the opening of the film with the big screen, huge landscapes, flying point of view and upward-scrolling credits made me properly dizzy before the film had really begun.

Kubrick’s movies always had great trailers, and this one was one of my favorites.

They were probably like: “What the hell was that?!”, which probably perked their curiosity enough to want to see it.

[@stevetheduck1425]

This corridor is a separate set, and this scene was shot many times, with the set being re-painted and re-dressed each time, it's well-recorded by people who worked on the film and this information was a feature of the travelling Kubrick Exhibition. There are several hidden ramps for the blood to splash up over (such as the not-moving left-hand chair), and a transparent shield at the camera end of the set so that the blood will rise and cover the camera for a moment. There is also a gap to the left, where the blood exits, and the two tables are going off that way as the shot ends. These octagonal tables appear to be of a design well-known in Britain for being World War 2 'austerity' pattern and were often found in government and military buildings into the 1980s. The sequence is shot high-speed but only lasts about five seconds in real time.

[@williampatrick2971]

I’ve been researching The Shining since the early 2000’s and have never came across definitive, official information and recounts of how this was done. The theories that I’ve heard were that it was a miniature, something like 1/3 of a scale. Another contradicts that, saying it was like you say, an actual corridor. Leon Vitali recounts that the crew were concerned they’d be engulfed by the flood, so it likely wasn’t a miniature. I also heard that it was done three times over the course of a year. One source claiming the blood was fake blood made for movies by a local company in England, while another source claims it was bull’s blood. They said it was done three times because the blood “didn’t look real.” But I dont know how shooting it multiple times would make the same source of Blood appear more real each consecutive shot. There’s a quick frame in Vivian Kubrick’s Making of the Shining where they’re cleaning up blood off the floor, but it doesn’t look like it’s from this same corridor. So maybe that was a deleted scene? I don’t know. All my research, however, has been done online through websites and video interviews. I know there’s a wealth of information out there in books that I’ve not come across, but you’d think at some point, someone whose read the Books would go online and contribute what they know of The Shining and the mystery of how this scene was shot.

I think what makes this so scary is the lack of context. You're just thinking "why is there so much blood in an elevator and how did Stanley Kubric manage such an effect?" The music doesn't make things any more assuring. It's quite ominous, surreal, and then it gets intense. It's a nice metaphor for Jack Nicholson himself. Something feels off about him, and it seems subtle at first, but then he goes over the top in a terrifying way, like a stream of blood so fierce that it knocks over furnishings. But back when this was first announced, you'd have no idea what it meant... And that is why I love it! It is so simple yet memorable in how crazy it is!
