 * Stephen King was not pleased with this film and wanted to see his name did not appear on the credits. In 1997, the book was made into a film again, this time as a miniseries (for television) with the participation of King itself. This is a lot more faithful to the story in the book.
 * Shelley Duvall (Wendy) has in the film version of Kubrick black hair. In the original book describes King her as blonde.

 * The Overlook hotel is the place where both the present and the past are overlooked. The hotel is built on a native American cemetery and is a kind of waiting room of the damned souls that manifest to the people that the ' gift ' (the shining) possess. The filming took place at Timberline Lodge, a resort on the southern flank of Mount Hood in Oregon. The labyrinth is a metaphor for the eternal rest wander of the man before he can get. Like Count Dracula (Béla Lugosi in 1931) who said: "To die! To be really dead: that must be glorious! ". The film also does think of Daughters of Darkness (1971) by Harry Kümel about a vampire in a hotel (It Oostendeto Thermae Palace Hotel ) that terrorizes the guests.
