THE SHINING ( filming video location ) 1980 Kubrick Jack Nicholson

[@chy42079]

The creator of this video must’ve been obsessed with this movie. Take another look at this video. The amount of time it took to edit each scene. Cut back and forth. Wow 😳 I respect your efforts. I’m obsessed with this movie too 🤣

[@Bigbootiemike]

I’m watching this as I’m sitting in the Ahwahnee Hotel lounge area right now. Needed this.

[@CARETAKER89able]

I can imagine how many requests they get for room 237!!

[@JuhanUtanEfternamn]

why? im pretty sure room 217 gets a bit more action :P

[@logicbot7110]

Johan Lund that’s the Stanley hotel

[@jackburns6403]

The hotel doesnt have a room 237, which is why it was changed from the books in the first place. The hotel didnt want people avoiding room 217 so they requested for the room number to be changed to 237.

[@richardbain8746]

One of the greatest movies ever made IMO a real classic!

[@devilzdandruff9199]

The greatest horror film of all time. It is amazing on so many levels.

[@paulaharrisbaca4851]

THIS IS FABULOUS. It's the thing I always wanted to do, this kind of video. I made it a point to stay in the Ahwahnee for two reasons.... (1. My mom always wanted to but we could only afford Camp Curry and (2. Even before I had heard that the film was based on the inside of the Ahwahnee, I recognized it instantly. My mom took me into the hotel when we were just tourist sightseers. I was delighted to discover that Kubrick really HAD based it on the Ahwahnee. We went to Yosemite nearly every other year when I was small. I kept thinking I had just imagined it . So the month before I had my daughter we stayed for a week in the Ahwahnee. Expensive but worth every penny just to say I had stayed there. (although the hallways are not anything like the 1970's Clockwork Orange mod decor that is in the film.)

[@krashd]

The bit at 2:30 is where they switch from the outdoor location in Oregon to the sound stage in England. They built a 1:1 scale model of one half of the hotel's exterior and covered it in metres of fake snow.

[@glamdolly30]

Wow, fantastic video! I had no idea the UK Elstree set for the Overlook Hotel interiors was so closely modelled on the interiors at the Ahwahnee Hotel, Yosemite National Park. It's VERY similar, with the placing of the square pillars throughout the lobby, the distinctive front reception desk, the patterns/designs on the floor, and of course, the iconic, red double elevator (SPOOKY!) Its design is obviously historically accurate for 'The Shining', as it opened in 1927, and the OverIook Hotel dates to the same Art Deco period. No wonder Director Stanley Kubrick loved it, and had his set designers copy it so faithfully - it's the perfect, setting for the story, and full of atmosphere. I would SO love to stay there and get the full 'Shining' experience! Incidentally, I was surprised there's a Room 237 at the Ahwahnee Hotel. The Timberline Lodge Hotel, Oregan which was used for the exterior shots, asked Kubrick to change the haunted room's number in the movie from 217 (as it is in Stephen King's original novel), to 237 because they didn't have a Room number 237, and they were worried the public would refuse to stay in Room 217 after seeing the movie! However, clearly the Ahwahnee Hotel DO have a Room 237 - I wonder if they've had any problems hiring out that room, from paranoid people, scared they might find an old lady rotting in the bath tub?!! Thanks for a fascinating guided tour!

[@sfdavecc]

I lived in San Francisco for many years and took many trips to Yosemite and the Ahwahnee. When I first saw the Shining film, I too thought it was filmed there. But the grand staircase in the lounge of the movie doesn't exist in the real hotel and that confused me. Seeing this video explains my error. The movie set is not only extremely similar in design and scale to the Ahwahnee, there are elements copied exactly from it - the stain glass windows and the fireplaces in the "Colorado Lounge" and adjoining sitting rooms in the film for example - easily spotted in the side by side images in this video. I live in Denver Colorado now, have visited the Stanley on several occasions and have spent Halloween there for fun (not in Room 237). Incidently, the Stanley in Estes Park, Colorado does not look anything like the Ahwahnee Hotel in California on the inside or Timberline Lodge in Oregon on the outside. I've been to the Timberline in my travels, and and was disappointed there is no grand lobby there that resembles the Shining lobby (which is modeled on the Ahwahnee lobby). The Stanley is late Victorian/early Edwardian style (built in 1909 by Oscar Stanley of Stanley Steamer fame), the interior of the Ahwahnee (built 1927 between the World Wars) is "National Park Rustic" and the Timberline lodge designed by the same architect (Gilbert Stanley Underwood), sometimes called "Cascadian Rustic," was built in 1936-38 during the Great Depression. It's astonishing to think the main rooms of the Shining hotel set were constructed on a set in England, then destroyed after filming. That alone is testament to the fact that this was not a "cheap horror film" as suggested by some of the commenters here. But it would probably have been impossible to actually film in the Ahwahnee in Yosemite Valley since it's a National Landmark in one of the busiest National Parks in the country. The Ahwahnee is open year round as are the Stanley and Timberline (with year round skiing on Mt. Hood). Rooms at the Ahwahnee are fairly expensive. And there's a gigantic dining room with 30ft high log beam ceilings reminiscent of 14 century English castles - my favorite part of the hotel (aside from the great lounge depicted in the movie). I've read that the Ahwahnee serves a Christmas dinner (complete with kings and madrigal singers in medieval costumes). But there's a lottery each year for tickets, and there are sometimes as many as 40,000 applicants. Good luck getting a table. Yosemite Valley has on average 4 million visitors each year, most of whom come in the summer months, but the winter is a great time to go as well. The valley is nearly deserted during the week at that time of year and when there is snow (it's at relatively low elevation so there isn't much), it's spectacular! Tioga pass above the Ahwahnee is closed in the winter however, as is Rocky Mountain Trail Ridge road between the Stanley in Estes Park and Grand Lake on the other side of the Continental Divide which was the inspiration for the isolation of Steven King's Shining hotel. And one last point. A commenter stated that she knew she would be scared when she first heard the opening music (as the car is driving up the mountain). The theme is the Dies Irea from a latin hymn from the medieval 13th century (possibly as old as the 7th century) and used in a mass for the dead or funeral ceremony. It's been used in countless compositions throughout European history including Liszt's Totentanz (Dance of the Dead). I think it has also been referenced in several movie soundtracks other than the Shining - horror movies, of course...

I've stayed in the Ahwanee hotel and it really looks like the Overlook. I realised it when I was walking through the 'Colorado Lounge". So weird and wonderful at the same time.

It was filmed in London. Not in the stanley hotel. It was made to look a bit like that hotel though.

hey, Stanley Hotel has ghosts inside.The owners says that the shinning is pretty real & They heard voices of Jack & his wife & his son Danny.They a few ghost hunters to prove that there is ghosts in Stanley Hotel during 1921.The Stanley hotel was originally built in 1921 & opened in 1921.The owners never lied about the ghosts because they had several reports about the ghosts.The Stanley Hotel was burned into the ground & now the Stanley hotel is rebuilt back up in the new look.

@@CREATIONSGALORE yup it’s the same for the home alone house the inside scenes were sets built inside a gym nearby

[@6inchkilo]

The in-hotel filming locations were on a soundstage built at elstree studios in England.the ones that you're filming are most likely inspirations for the set design of the film, but are not actually the set. Sadly the set no longer exists. It was burned down once during filming, and then struck after filming ended. Interesting fact: Spielberg worked on that soundstage directly afterward filming Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[@seppuku-]

no way that’s insane, Indiana jones is my childhood. and yea it was a set but it looks so much like the Ahwahnee Hotel even the elevators. Indian theme all of it was first at that hotel built in the 1920’s.

[@Sagegeir]

all the interior shots were on set? wow it looks so real and connected (except that its not, the way kubrick made it)

[@Gryphonisle]

The Awanee Hotel was not used in the movie. The exterior shots were on Mt Hood, in Oregon, and the Timberline Lodge. Interiors, which closely resembled the Awanee in Yosemite were on a sound stage in London. A light fixture collapsed at the end of filming and the sound stage burned down. It was rebuilt and the first movie filmed there was the mine car scene in Indiana Jones.

[@rajeevsharma7160]

Only the exterior wall panels of the elevator door didn't change! glad they kept it similar to the movie stil

[@juzujuzu4555]

Only the helicopter part is not from Elstree studios. Kubrick made every film in near of his house in England. Full Metal Jacket is also fully made in England. I think one important point that Kubrick is making in The shining, as Jack says when they drive to hotel "Its Ok, he saw it on the television", meaning that you cant trust anything what you see in TV. Television is pure propaganda/brainwashing device that occasionally has something else.

[@fiercedezy3114]

WHY DID THEY REMOVE THE CARPET JUST WHY

[@TensedOut]

It's not the Actual hotel, this was only used for the exterior. The Stanley hotel more resembles the actual one from the movie. [Though was the interior filmed, they filmed the actual movie somewhere completely Sept, though [again] the Stanley hotel is the main hotel which the shining came from
