May 23, 1980 marked the release of Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING. Disliked by Stephen King, on whose novel it was based, and dismissed by critics at the time of its original release, 40 years later, the film is considered one of the greatest horror movies of all time.

This week, we're taking a look at Kubrick's groundbreaking film and discussing how it came to be, the origins of the source novel, and the film's legacy.
