_The Shining_ is being re-released this week in theaters. I heard it was this weekend, but it’s showing up this Thursday in a theater near me. Check your local listings! The movie scared the hell out of me growing up. I failed to get past room 237 as a kid when I first saw it on HBO, but I’ve seen it all since. Finally a chance to see it in a theater! The long walk across the dark parking lot to my car afterwards will be awesome. 😃
