the-overlook-hotel: Title page of a manuscript of Stephen King’s novel of The Shining. This copy bears the book’s original title, The Shine. Stanley Kubrick’s handwritten notes on the front include: Wendy could be “strong”. Get satisfaction from Jack’s failure and problems. She doesn’t leave him because she “needs him”. She needs to feel his weakness and frustration.  Previously on Cinephilia & Beyond: A 1983 Playboy interview with Stephen King, about his young hungry days before he was published. In the same interview with Playboy in 1983, Stephen King stated: “The real problem is that Kubrick set out to make a horror picture with no apparent understanding of the genre. Everything about it screams that from beginning to end, from plot decision to the final scene – which has been used before on The Twilight Zone.”
