The Shining Filming Location - The Timberline Lodge 4K

[@coreystuart]

When Doctor Sleep came out, I was astounded at how accurate the interior of The Overlook was recreated using the actual blueprints that Kubrick used in 1980. I REALLY wanna see someone create a permanent exhibition of the interior and allow fans to tour it. It would seriously be a dream come true!

[@ksavage681]

Google Ahwhanee Hotel in Yosemite Park. Those are the interiors.

Doctor Sleep is an excellent sequel.

Great line!!

That is not the correct line.

[@timgerard262]

Kubrick was an absolute genius, if there was something a bit off, or something wrong with continuity, it was intentional.

[@DozFilms]

I feel quarantine was like the overlook

[@laginareese]

The open display of affection you guys show to each other during these videos is so awesome. With so much ugliness in the world it just melts my heart when I see you two like that.

[@chicogozosodecabellosedoso]

Well , that is what you call compatibility. Most couple nowadays are not compatible so they don't hang out well and don't last long. They just want sex and not be alone and mess up over and over and over again !!!

[@yvonnemckeon5014]

So weird! My son is really into the shining movie at the minute and I literally searched ‘Grimm life shining’ yesterday and you upload this today! Xx

[@frehleyrox]

The interior of Kubrick’s Overlook was architecturally and design based on the Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite. The lobby, elevators etc. looks identical to the Kubrick Overlook.

[@Daniella1000rr]

I love your channel, I love the way u tell the story during filming the place. Not mention you’re always so respectful with the place’s policy (the drone thing ). Such a gentleman!!!

[@lovesPaulRodriguez]

I've watched this film I don't know how many times and I never noticed that Jack is looking at a Playgirl magazine while waiting to speak with Ullman and Watson.

[@horror-metal-mike4320]

SLEEPAWAY CAMP was another 80s classic! I loved the scene Artie the cook gets cooked! Hey Angela, you sure are a sweet looking little Cupcake!

[@richardlahan7068]

I'll have to check that out the next time I watch it.

[@KeyDyer]

The playgirl issue also has an article about incest, which goes along with “that” Danny theory

[@samse7en11]

I never noticed that the flying shots of the real hotel in the beginning of The Shining show just the car park out front, and no hedge maze 😳

[@horrorfanandy4647]

It was entirely intentional and meant to disorient the viewer, many of the rooms are physically impossible as well as several of the hallways (in Ulmans office it has a window looking outside but if you watch the background you see that there would be a hallway where that window view would be)

[@puebloking8280]

Yea they didn't catch that or didn't thing the viwers would notice or care, also could have built a maze in front but would've been a lot of work

[@donufro]

​@@horrorfanandy4647 More likely it was just an oversight.

[@horrorfanandy4647]

@@donufro It’s Stanley Kubrick. Though it’s something of a joke these days that all of his films get overanalysed to death, I can assure you that is absolutely an intentional element given how meticulous he was with details. Several lengthy videos analysing the film will easily convince you of the notion. All of the interior stuff is sets, which means it’s all designed from the ground up. That’s why genuine continuity and spatial errors stick out like a sore thumb in his films once you notice them. If he wanted a hedge maze outside the hotel exterior, he would have fought tooth and nail to have one arranged.

[@CaseNancarrow]

that's because the hedge maze is behind the hote.

[@sci-figuy6668]

One of my favorite movies-I know Kubricks version wasn’t always real true to the book, but I think he did a great job with the hour & a half he had. Scatman Crothers acting was amazing, too.

[@gregmacneil9060]

but his movie was better then king's

[@willfade7994]

My stepdad has been to that Lodge! It was many years ago now, but he used to go skiing often. He and his friend took a trip to Oregon one year (back in the 90’s) and made a point to check the place out and ski. They had lunch at the Lodge and both of them told me the interior looked much like it did in The Shining and there was very few people inside when they ate there, so it definitely had an eerie vibe about it. I loved the book and the movie, though the book was definitely different. I’ve been a Stephen King fan since I was a pre-teen. He inspired me to become a writer! The music from the movie remains to be the creepiest of any film I’ve seen to date and the story in both forms still freaks me out! It’s very cool that you two made it there. It’s on my list of places to visit! I always enjoy your video adventures. Keep it up and safe travels to you both! 🌹

[@carstuff4u942]

Actually the interior of this Hotel in Oregon is completely different than interior shots in the movie. Interior shots were based on another hotel.

[@jokeroneninesevenzero]

Great movie. I'm 51 and I still get the creeps when they show the Grady twins standing at the end of the hallway. "Hello Danny. Come and play with us. Forever, and ever, and ever."

[@ksavage681]

Fun fact: the interiors of the movie hotel were an exact copy (even the elevators) of the Ahwhanee Hotel in Yosemite Park. So if you guys get down that way again, you can see the interiors.

[@riversideartglass]

All of the National Park's Grand Mountain Lodges where built by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) young 18-25 un-employed men back in the depression.

[@negativeindustrial]

So the Stanley Hotel in Colorado is the inspiration for the book. The Timberline Lodge in Oregon was the exterior inspiration and the Ahwhanee Hotel is the interior inspiration - all of which was rebuilt at Pinewood Studios (I think?) in the UK for the movie? That’s really interesting and cool. The documentary Kubrick’s daughter shot discussed all of this, I believe.

[@avega2792]

I wish I would have known that when I went to Yosemite in June.

[@brown22sugar25]

Kubricks version of the shining was an improvement on the book, in my opinion. More eerie and the hedge maze was a masterpiece.

Having completed my internship and worked at Timberline Lodge, there is very little of the lodge that was used in the film. Even the hallway scenes with the two twin girls were filmed elsewhere. The lobby where Jack Nickelson was typing was so large and cavernous but there is no area of this lodge that resembles that scene. There is one scene with a blue snow cat where the Timberline logo is seen on the driver’s side door. The real Timberline Lodge is an excellent hotel to stay and enjoy Mt. Hood where there is also skiing on the Palmer Glacier in the summer months often as late as August.

[@dianes.3718]

I would rather stay at The Stanley Hotel that's where Stephen King got the inspiration for the novel and yes I like the book more then the movie. The book is creepier and gives you a fear for the family as things progress. Jack's not a terrible person you feel hates his family even before they get to the hotel. Jack is a recovering alcoholic who loves his family and that's what gives him the strength to stay sober. He's very likable and you root for him as he fights against the demons that haunt him at the hotel.

I read the book before seeing the movie and I have to agree with Stephen King. The movie was ok but changed and left out so much from the book. You should go to The Stanley Hotel in Colorado. That’s where the book is based off of.

[@stephensams709]

Same here!

[@negativeindustrial]

I prefer Kubrick’s version. Stephen King, in my opinion, just gets too far off into the weeds of a story. Kubrick’s movie, while still long, has the exact correct pacing and build up of anxiety to tell the story in a focused coherent narrative. To what you said, I stayed at The Timberline Lodge in Oregon on a wedding anniversary one year and there was still snow up there. Made for a great spooky weekend. I hope to get to the Stanley one year. Cheers from Texas!

The way I understand the movie is that the exterior set built in Britain was the BACK of the hotel, with the maze being behind the hotel (and the parking lot in front of it). After all, the interior of the hotel which leads to the maze is not the main lobby but a different, much smaller room with a corridor.

Fun fact I learned from watching Joel Ostean’s church service on TV. Joel told a story about a writer, who kept on being rejected by many publishing houses. So after the writer finished typing his latest novel, he threw it away in the trash. The writer’s wife found the manuscript in the trash. She turns in her husband’s manuscript to a publishing house. That manuscript that the writer threw away, but is wife saved, is Stephen King’s The Shining. Thank God that Stephen’s wife saved that manuscript, because if she didn’t pull that novel out of the trash, there wouldn’t of been The Shining film & TV movies.
