The Shining - Real Life Hotel Filming Location, and the Last Blockbuster

[@goodfriend1147]

This was great - I live in Colorado and have been to the Stanley a few times, you have to go and take the haunted tour, it's amazing

[@mattwalder1931]

Good stuff mate , really enjoyed the video. I used to manage a dvd and video store in the UK which finally closed in 2013. I get that streaming is a million times more convenient and stuff....but I really miss the atmosphere and ritual of going to a video store. Was something a bit magical about that whole process that made watching the movie more of an "event" that's kind of lost now

[@trevorberger6192]

Going to blockbuster as a kid was one of my favorite times

[@tjanderson5892]

Remember blockbuster as a kid was always so much fun. Going through the returned movies/games to see if whatever you’re looking for had been returned and not shelved yet. Gum ball machines and running into ppl from your neighborhood. Good times

[@Tripartite1937]

Same here man, it wasn’t just the atmosphere or social ritual of going to the movie store but also the fact that you could find literally any movie ever made and rent it for a couple bucks. If one store didn’t have the movie you’re looking for, go to the next one. Now we’re subservient to online subscription services who choose what they wish to air and it’s actually harder to find or watch all the movies you want to. I miss the movie store ;(

[@brycevo]

All work and no play makes Justin a dull dull boy. This is so awesome!

[@dawngough1133]

Had to go back and watch The Shining again. Ally's right it is one of the best films ever made. Amazing how Stanley Kubrick creates horror atmosphere mainly with music and soundtrack.

[@nathanplatt5517]

I grew up skiing at Timberline Lodge. Lots of good memories. I remember when I was a little kid they actually did have a hedge maze around the back side of the lodge it was always fun to try to get through as a kid. The Shining is not the only movie to use that Lodge. there are many movies actually filmed on location at Timberline Lodge.

[@carlsmith7796]

Awesome video, glad you both had a great time... excellent

[@TheImmortalSpark]

I grew up skiing there with my dad, one of my favorite buildings! So stunning to be there in winter when the snow is up over the door. On a clear day, the view from there is incredible. I hope I can stay there one day.

[@tick_magnetedschaper5611]

WOW! Justin, this is a really good one. Thanks for bringing me back to some fun places.

[@HowTo4Uvideos]

Awesome! The Shining is in my top 10 movies of all time so thanks for showing us this!

[@PaulMcElligott]

“All work and no play makes Ally a dull girl.”

[@nymphly3053]

this is seriously my favorite channel, especially to pass up time! 🍃

[@clydeireland5553]

What an awesome adventure! So cool that you get to cross this off your bucket list! I’ve been to Crater Lake before - it’s beautiful.

[@espo7182]

I have been skiing, then snowboarding for probably as long as I can walk. Although I have been to so many wonderful places and seen beautiful sights in Colorado, Nevada, California, British Columbia, Eastern Canada, Vermont, the Alps, etc, The one place I have always wanted to go and have not yet been, is Mt. Hood Oregon and Timberline Lodge. It's basically 2 birds one stone for me, as I love The Shining as well.

[@johnalvinbelarmino598]

I still can't believe how your long videos like this almost 12 minutes to me that's how entertaining you are guys

[@dantyler6907]

The Overlook doesn't start until after the first 10:25

[@lucasjohnstone6419]

Thanks bro

[@jacizaci_3]

One of the scariest films I ever saw, I don’t even know if I could stay there, but it looks super unique.

[@CrazySharp]

Man I thought your channel died ... KZbin unsubscribed me. I’m so happy to see you are still doing well. This makes me so happy that you two are still together, having seen the crap you went through . Thanks again for inspiring me to start my own channel and starting my own business

[@Omnicient.]

Again with such videos you have to correct them: the REAR of the hotel in The Shining is NOT the front of the hotel. It is CLEARLY different. Only the exterior front of the Timberline Lodge was used in the opening to the film and brief shots showing the changing seasons scatted throughout the film but all of them were taken at the FRONT of the Timberline lodge. The REAR of the hotel seen in the film was built at Elstree studios with the interior of the maze at Borehamwood studios. The night chase thru the maze was filmed on a soundstage as was most of the rest of the film.

[@stevenmelia8421]

Thank you guys so much,always wanted to know what this place looked like inside. What a Stunning place. Awesome video 💯🎥

[@SSNESS]

I always thought it was filmed in Colorado, Ali’s hot too

[@stevenkee61]

Hello from Singapore. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe & healthy!

[@capt125]

I just saw a few days ago the Shining for the first time. Justin your video here was real goodly.

[@jurgengortz9811]

Great Video thanks for this and a Happy Weekend for you both🇩🇪👋

[@MelPeltier]

We stayed at the Stanley for our 1 year wedding anniversary. I wouldn’t stay in 217, but my husband booked the room directly across the hall. We had a lot of creepy weirdness happen.

[@freudbrahms254]

damn

[@gummicorn]

love hearing about the history of filming locations

[@haroldcook1638]

awesome video,, and especially about crater lake!! sweet!!!

[@jeesmith99]

Love this channel. Always brings smiles to my family’s faces.

[@kimojio]

Awesome video guys! The Shining is one of my favorite movies, so cool to see the hotel where it was shot

[@ttuck9011]

I love this movie I grew up in this,,,, Here's Johnny ,,,thank u for showing this

[@DanburyDK]

So cool. Thanks for showing me around this awesome place.

[@S.E.C-R]

I loved seeing all of these places that I take for granted from the perspective of a first time visitor. Timberline is absolutely gorgeous and one of my favorite places, although I’ve never actually stayed there... too pricey, but fun to hang out up there on Mt Hood for the day. Fun fact: it does get warm enough during the summer to open the windows and put the screen in. And all that rain made me laugh, we’re so used it, it’s nothing to us. But I am a SoCal native, when I moved up here in 1980 when I was 12 from Torrance it was quite a culture shock!! Thanks for these videos, Justin, they were a lot of fun to watch!!

[@MarMai5]

Thank you for this video! It's so amazing to see the Timberline Lodge like this!

[@dizzydossey]

It’s so cool seeing you up here in Oregon. There are so many great movie locations here. Salem has a museum for One Flew over the Cuckoo’s nest.

[@mryoshoe]

I have wanted to go to that hotel forever!! It looks so cool. 😬

[@jonsutubechannel]

Always a good day when Justin post a video

[@alanriordan]

Great video, I came for the Timberline first now I'm watching to see crater lake again.

[@hannarae4311]

Justin your giving me ideas for a future west coast road trip and its amazing!

[@rezt1630]

it's great that the Lodge is still open for business.

[@dawntill5295]

That is so cool love when you just travel without an agenda great video Justin!!

[@stephenalder8091]

Wow! Amazing video! Great views!

[@louloulou7522]

Really enjoyed this video thank you so subscribed!

[@KBPNW]

Love that you guys are up in the PNW where I am!

[@jamesharper5545]

Your videos are the best and quite humorous. Thank you from gwyn and James

[@elvisallelvis]

Great video guys! "The Shining" is my favorite too, just love the ambiance of the movie, have you guys seen the documentary with Stanley Kubrick? Was interesting. I love the atmosphere of your video, too bad it rained, but was worth going and bet it was fun watching the rented movie in your hotel room. Next time try the "Sarah Winchester Mansion", that would be worth a trip too! Thanks for sharing this great video, take care guys and God bless!

[@Grow3Glow]

Nice video! Very beautiful scenery

[@morellaura13]

Beautiful video guys! Have a nice trip :) I miss USA so much...

[@naomihirsch2796]

Very cool! I always enjoy your videos!

[@ChatGPT1111]

The Fort Wilderness Hotel in Orlando and the Grand Californian in Anaheim both reminded me of the movie when I stayed there.

[@chrisman3965]

Been there 2x. Great place to visit!

[@jodefawud1520]

Awesome vlog, love the Shining great book and brilliant movie thanks for more great content Justin 👍

[@nrginther]

The Stanley Hotel is in Estes Park, Colorado. Is supposed to be haunted. I lived in Loveland and went to Estes Park all the time. Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Rocky Mountain National Park is there, too.

[@steff730]

One of my favorite movies

[@leoinsf]

I love the comment that Kubrick doesn't attempt to be realistic in his filming because it adds to the unbelievability of what he is trying to portray. There are so many moments in "The Shining" that inconsistencies are so obvious as one is plunged into the intricacy of Kubrick's vision of horror! I absolutely loved Justin's documentary. Yes, Justin: the Timberline is incredible and so is your documentary.

[@DerekHoiem]

Great video. The skiing and snowboarding on Mt. Hood is insane. The US ski and snowboard team practices there in the summer because there’s year round snow on the glacier.

[@Glock181]

Awesome vide man! And your Borat was spot on! hahaha

[@jasethehoo]

thanks justin for the excellent and informative vlog for one of my favourite movies 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@anonymousbullfrog1772]

Loved it! The Shining is a fav of mine too! You two are so amazing together!

[@mikaylabaird1914]

I sure do miss Blockbuster. Before it was gone, I use to rent multiple episodes of House! That show is addicting.

[@helgabullabong]

Superb. Adored this. Well done.

[@girlbrat13]

Omg, i love this so much. Great gob with the line up and showing the similarity.

[@gregorysartchannel4594]

Very cool, Justin!! You guys are so cool together! You're a lucky man!!

[@tigertail777]

You practically traveled into my backyard. I live at the foot of Mt Hood. Good thing you came now, not too long ago everything was evacuated around that area for the wildfires and the smoke. Timberline Lodge also greatly influenced the interior design of Disney World's Wilderness Lodge, Imagineers came out to take a lot of pictures and did research on the lodge for it. Heavy metal fan was hilarious! Still trying to find those Hobbiton audio mini discs for you.

[@theoverlook5976]

Looks like a great place to stay...

[@dawngough1133]

I feel a road trip to the Stanley Hotel coming up!

[@KBPNW]

When you go to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, they have the "haunted" tours, they have a bunch of images and set things regarding the Shining Films and for those who like beer, they can grab a beer called REDRUM. Plus, Colorado is gorgeous so thatll be a great destination for you two one day! Also the inside of the Stanley Hotel is a lot like the inside the "hotel" they used for the films. Its a beaut

[@Machiwi-vo9nb]

For a second I thought the spiderwebs at block buster were real 🕸 👀 Great content as always sir 🧐

[@takattacktv2.087]

Getting some serious vibes of The Lodge interior from The Condemned 2 video game and from Alan Wake's Cauldron Lake Lodge interior too. Another awesome vid!

[@EpcotCenter1982]

This is on my bucket list too! LOVE this movie!!

[@crimsonhowler6129]

could you sound any more like "join me shall you?"

[@skootsish]

you guys are great! thanks so much for this

[@lorenajimenez514]

Worth watching your video for blockbuster, lol soo sad it’s gone late 90s and early 2000’s was the best time !!!😊

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

I love all the road side attractions. It gets really foggy up North. The hotel looks very spooky especially 3rd floor. The hotel looks better than the movie hotel. Love all the stone and wood work. Great work Justin and Ally

[@TranscendentArts]

Every video makes me want to spend more and more money. This is definitely on my bucket list.

[@Satanna.avemaria]

If they did a remake this hotel would be pretty epic. It has an intimidating feel all on it’s own.

[@lonesomeretrogamer]

I love this video! The location is awesome!

[@conniecrawford5231]

Beautiful Crater Lake!

[@DestinationsChronicles]

I was in College in Portland when The Shining came out. My PE was skiing at Timberline Lodge. As we would approach the lodge you'd hear all of us saying, "Redrum" LOL

[@kcsunshineadventures1496]

Love it thanks so much, will definitely visit one day

[@hikmathidup7036]

recently I watch the movie and I curious go to KZbin and find your channel, thanks bro

[@ricipreuit3259]

Man I love Timberline. Nothing like a drive up there to get a nice dinner.

[@APRILMAE18]

So amazing of you to do that for Ally! The Shining is also a top favorite movie of mine! I'm so glad you two were able to get out and have fun, with postponing the big day. Love y'all !

[@jamesharper5545]

Thank you I finally got two block buster sunglasses after clicking the link Thank you from gwyn and James Spokane Washington

[@manojkale4408]

Awesome video bro 👌

[@JamesCarmichael]

I didn't see the Shining until I was in my 30s. I overlooked it for years.

[@bryanwhat2268]

Its good to see ally doing well and travailing with you again. well I haven't been watching for awhile but it still good to see :]

[@brandon104627]

Love the new video Oregon is so. Cool

[@dontcallmeshirley3779]

You should have brought your Big Wheels to ride in the halls. This was an amazing video. I laughed through all of it!

[@logannelson4038]

Hi Justin! I was fortunate enough to stay in Room 217 at the Stanley a couple of years back. It is the room that Stephen King stayed in and came up with the story. It is also supposedly the most haunted room in the hotel! Great video you guys! I’d love to make it out to Timberline someday :)

[@Thestinkues17]

Gotta stop watching your videos-the bucket list keeps growing haha! What a beautiful hotel.

[@DanielEstes88]

YES!!! Estes Park, Colorado. Ths Stanley Hotel does have room 217, aka "The Stephen King Room." I have stayed many nights at the Stanley, but haven't in 217...yet. The stay is well worth it.

[@Camquarters]

Was here not long ago! Love it there

[@johnwalsh9210]

"Here's Johnny!"

[@Fishiepwincess]

I love seeing you guys genuinely interacting at the very end. So cute 💕💕💕 I havent seen the shining, but that place def. Looks haunted

[@AtomicBurnsauce]

Welcome to Oregon! Love you guys!

[@glamdolly30]

Wow gorgeous hotel, as a writer I'd love to go there, with all those cosy desks and beautiful views it's the perfect writers retreat! I would also love to visit the Yosemite Hotel that the UK hotel set interiors were so closely based on. That would be spookily close to visiting the set of The Shining. Thanks for sharing the experience here on KZbin, it was fascinating! Warmest wishes to you both from another devoted fan of Jack Torrance in the UK! XXX

[@gak22yearsago99]

Im going there next week!

[@williampatrick2971]

How was it?

[@shultersfamilyvlogs5844]

Welcome to Oregon, where it’s moist most of the year!

[@TyroneDaviesWELSHMAN]

Thank you so much for posting this! It's unlikely that I will ever get to see this in person! So, what a treat. Thank You!

[@MDimosN]

I really like it, very good job and nice edit! Ps: you have to make a tribute video for Sean Connery! RIP Sir Stay safe bro!

[@bethany_burns]

Welcome back to my home state! That weird town is called Crescent, Oregon. It's our go-to pit-stop on the way to Bend. Hope you have a lovey trip!

[@svendubronovic8343]

Welcome to Oregon! It's sunny here in Portland!

[@rnw2739]

Wicked video, mate.
