From the collaborative effort of Stephen King, Stanly Kubrick, and Academy Award winning actor Jack Nicholson comes the hartwarming tale of a family get-together.
The Shining.

aww…so sweet.
I read an article about this some mnths ago when it first hit. Apparently it’s the winner of a Editor’s Guild compeition that they have every year. The editors (actually IIRC assistant editors or apprentice editors) get a list of movies and have to edit a trailer for them changing the genre.
A runner up was West Side Story as a zombie movie. It was hilarious.
As Push You Down said, you’re a little late.
Oh sure, dredge up that old embarrassment, whydon’tcha?

Sir, I belive your embarrassment has been usurped.
The modified title is just Shining, which sounds a lot happier.
There is one bit I think was added (aside from the cheery “Meet Jack Torrance” trailer narration), because I can’t remember it in the movie: Jack saying “I’m your new foster father” a few seconds into the opening notes of Solsbury Hill. I can imagine this was added by a moderately-good Nicholson impersonator to tie the modified trailer together, but it feels a little like cheating.
We see Danny tentatively opening the double doors of room 237, but it changes to a single door when they cut to the interior. That kind of cheating is par for the course in trailers.
It’s from “About Schmidt”.
If you’ll look under “related articles” they also have another one for “Big” and I must say, that version looks really good.
I’ll admit that’s clever, but it’s still cheating.
That’s terrific! It’s here, for a direct link.
And after a quick search, here is “Titanic” done as a horror flick, and here is “West Side Story” as a zombie flick. The latter would be my favorite, but it relies a little too much on quick cuts, even for a zombie movie trailer.
I’d never noticed before, though, how much the cinematography in “West Side Story” resembles that of Dario Argento (the Italian horror director).
