Wendy, I’m home.
Who wouldn’t love the gift that keeps on frightening?
Whether it’s a frozen still of Jack grinning with maniacal glee as his bourbon-numbed eyeballs roll back in his head, or an elevator effusing rivers of blood, The Shining is laden with images that persist in our collective conscious, even some 44 years past its theater debut.
This psycho-cultural longevity is not lost on publisher Taschen, who is offering (to coincide with your silent night) Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, “a definitive compendium of the film featuring hundreds of photographs, rare production ephemera, and extensive interviews with the cast and crew. “
‘Tis but a modest read for true fans. Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is written by novelist J.W. Rinzler and edited by academy-award winning director of Toy Story 3 and Coco (and also “the world’s foremost The Shining aficionado), Lee Unkrich.
For those who can never get enough of the booming base score or the sheer terror of a title that simply says “Tuesday,” this gift is sure to touch your heart of darkness.
