The movie The Shining remains the scariest movie I’ve ever seen, although it shares that spot with The Ring.
Which reminds me: I have Koji Suzuki’s “Spiral” still to read! It slipped down to the bottom of my frankly terrifying bedside reading pile. Excellent!
Mark Deniz at Beyond Fiction asked me to write about “The Shining” for their Ghost Appreciation Month, and you’ll find my response there.

Great article about the movie ‘The Shining’, Kaaron. I especially love the final paragraph…whispering in people’s ears. Chilling! The movie freaked me out too. And doesn’t Jack Nicholson do an outstanding performance? Scary stuff!
Thanks, Maggie! The movie really did leave me with that sense of ghosts all around me. Totally freaked me out. I loved Jack Nicholson in the role. I’ve been a huge fan of his ever since. My second favourite movie of his is “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, also a top ten fave book. He’s incredible in that movie.
