Shine On - The Forgotten Shining Location | Feature Documentary 

That place should be made into a museum.

The fact the pantry shelves still exist is pretty incredible.

I felt like crying because I grew up in the Overlook having watched it so many times with my dad and brother. RIP dad.

Such a beautiful choice to use a pic of Stanley and Shelley at the end. Stanley smiling at her and all... ❤ Thanks for this, guys.

This place should be dressed up and turned into a place every fan could visit I really enjoyed this

Pretty amazing that the original shelving is still just sitting there in the storage room. Almost as if it's been waiting there for 45 years for them to come and visit, and for all of us to remember.

The music, the cinematography, the attention to detail in the set and costume, the mystery, the direction and acting performances -- one of the greatest masterpieces in film history.

This should be included in future reissues of THE SHINING on UHD and Blu-ray. I've been waiting a month for this thing to drop. Dude, the tours of this facility could rake in quite some extra dough for the lot.

God Bless Shelley Duvall. This is my all time favorite film, hands down! RIP Shelley and Stanley.

Rest In Peace Stanley Kubrick, Shelley Duvall and Scatman Crothers.

When Shelley Duvall goes around the corner out of the boiling room and you can clearly see the (sliding) doors still being the exact same ones. It is just surreal to me. I love "The Shining", it might just be my favourite movie. Thank you for this documentary

Thank you so much for this documentary! Hope this place gets a blue plaque. R.I.P. Shelley Duvall. 😢

The skills of these artisans are mind boggling. The real hotel that inspired the interior design is still there in Yosemite. It looks much like the movie.

As a huge fan of The Shining, this documentary made me very happy and made me feel nostalgic. Thank you!

Been looking forward to this for weeks. Did not disappoint. What a one-of-a-kind genius Kubrick was. RIP Mr. Stanley Kubrick, Ms. Shelley Duvall and Mr. Scatman Crothers.

Thanks that it was published here on youtube

So great! this is the stuff that legends are made of... rest in peace Shelley Duvall.

Love seeing a documentary on my favorite horror film of all time. It's sad that most of the buildings that housed the movie's set are gone, but at least one of them still remains. It was also really nice to have that dedication to Shelly at the end of it. RIP Stanley, you made a horrifying masterpiece. RIP Scatman, you created some wonderful memories for Danny Lloyd. RIP Shelly, despite the harrowing experience from working on The Shining, you gave one hell of a performance.

It was heartwarming to see Katharina, Jan and Leslie doing the Kitchen tour. Thank you so much for this video!

You did a great job. I loved the 3D model of the film studio, and the perfectly matched shots including the precise camera movement. And the trio walking through the space, commenting on things was just adorable.

I'm glad to see this spot is still around and mostly still the same as it was when it had been used in the film. Thank you for uploading this. Rest in Peace Mr. Kubrick and Ms. Duvall. Y'all are both missed.

Absolutely brilliant little documentary. This building should be given a listed status and protected at all costs. Whilst it looks like nothing from the outside, it contains some of the most treasured and iconic horror cinema locations. The story of the carpet in the shed is bonkers and should be in a museum along with the bath and tables!

Fantastic! A great way to remember Stanley Kubrick on his birthdate. What a brain-warp of a trip to take, seeing the locations then and now...how they were then, and how they are now. It would be unreal to actually walk through all of that, trying to visualize yourself in the movie and guessing which location hosted a certain scene. Also, I got a little teary at the end, with the then-and-now crossfades, especially when Shelley Duvall says "'I'm a Wendy!", fading into an echo. (I got the 500th "like", by the way!)

This was a real treat. The Shining is one of the very best movies. A masterpiece. To know that there are still parts of the set and prop still in existence, it to know The Shining lives on. This was simply a gift. Thank you.

Stanley and the actors had to do a hundred takes, and then Stanley had to sift through them all when he edited the movie. Astounding commitment to the craft.

Wow, this is absolutely incredible! Let's hope this building is kept and converted into a museum. The kitchen scenes were arguably the most pivotal, at least up there, and the fact that this building housed the kitchen is just fascinating.

In my opinion, perhaps the greatest to ever do it. Rest in peace, hero.

Wonderful documentation! I love the crossfades from the movie scenes to the real location and the stories by the former staff.

This was really wonderful! Thanks for sharing - nice touch to have narration from Michael Sheen-ing :)

Thank you so much for doing this documentary! I would pay for a tour as I’m sure thousands of fans would

Absolutely fantastic! I love how they kept the table and put it in their kitchen.

When they found the pantry I lost it. Unbelievable.

Really enjoyed this, and I will be watching again and again over time. Such a classic film

This was EXCELLENT! I loved every second of this! Thank you for putting this together.

Thank you for a publishing this super documentary.I loved every second of it. I'm not sure where it is currently , but I strongly recommend visiting the Kubrick exhibition. I saw it at the london design museum a few years ago and it is truly tremendous. The range of artefacts from all of kubrick's films is extraordinary, and the book that accompanies it is well worth purchasing.

Excellent feature documetary, my Mom watched The Shining when it came out, she has loved the film ever since, never forgot about iconic elements such as Jack Nicholson' stellar performance, Danny's trycicle or the rooms, when I told her that the film was made on set, she couldn't believe it. I think Kubrick and his team managed to create a movie with an atmosphere that it's not only uneerving (liminal spaces) but also nostalgic, nostalgia for a time we never lived, the 1920s (also the 1980s in my case). Love to hear the crew theorizing about the movie, wether the ghosts are real or not.

Awesome. The pantry area looks exactly the same minus the tinned goods. As a huge shining fan this was a rare treat I also loved the boiler room area, the vibe is still very much there, brilliant.

Wonderful documentary, a treat for movie location geeks. Thank you!

Loved this. Brilliant documentary. Brilliant film. Location definitely needs a blue plaque. Nice touch remembering Shelley Duvall.

I have always wanted to see and feel this set. I finally do. How amazing!

Katharina & Jan we love you with all our hearts. Thank you.

Love this doc. The film set for The Shining has always fascinated me. How wonderful that parts of the set still exist (in their mundane ways). This doc showcases this very well.

Wow! The food pantry still has the original shelving in it? Really amazing! So for 45 years, what has that room been used for?? This is perplexing! Evidently the shelving was never in the way of other uses for that room all through the years - - how fortunate. And since the shelving was surely constructed inside that room, it could not simply be conveniently dragged out :)

Great work Paul King! Really enjoyed it. I worked at Elstree for a number of years on various films in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Nice to see the place again - I live in Sydney now - miss the place. Love the studio. Pinewood is great too, as is Leavesden - but there's something magical about Elstree...

Thank you all and happy heavenly birthday Maestro Kubrick!

The G.O.A.T. Happy B-Day Mr. Kubrick. You will always be alive through your works. Thank you.

Awesome, thank you for this documentary. I love it!! Greetings from Argentina!!!

Damn, I want to watch the film again, for the umpteenth time. One of my all time favourites.

It should be turned into a shining museum

Loved the in depth look on the kitchen! I really hope they keep this place safe for history. Great documentary! Such a treat to have this one come out now! Will always be my favorite horror movie. Rip Shelly Duvall, Stanley Kubrick and Scatman Crothers!

Magical " yet bitter sweet having Lost people and knowing how much time has passed! Like Stanley and Shelley we all shall one day have our end credit's Roll"!👍🙏👍🎭👍🎭👍🎭👍🎭👍

Good memories, good actors, good workers and a good film.Thank you Stanley, thank you for bringing this book, this story, to the life. And rest in peace, Shelly... ~Midnight, Stars and You~

Such a treat! Thank you for making it.

Very, very cool documentary on what still 'Shines' at Elstree.

Katherina to see us share a memory, although different ways, it was your kitchen table, from across the pond here in KY is amazing. Shining is nostaligic for me. Bless you and tell your mother thank you for her art as well. Shes also a blessing. Take care.

Endlessly fascinating movie and my favorite since the day it came out.

Fantastic! And glad to know Michael Sheen is a fan...

What a great little documentary!!!

That was very nice. It reminds me of why I love the movie so much. Thank you!

Splendid film that stirs memories of when I first saw The Shining on the day it opened in Los Angeles. I won’t say more here about the scene in the hospital that was removed after it ran through the gate just a few times. Legend is Stanley ordered it physically cut out of the last reel in the projection room of each of the theaters that housed a print and those trims destroyed. Katharina Kubrick gives a hint of something about those frames when she says in this documentary that she won’t go on with what’s on her mind. It would be meaningful to see that scene again with the dialogue that Mr. Ullman and Wendy exchange, and from what I remember culminates with five words before the scene closes, and the film returns to the Overlook Hotel revealing the photo on the wall which remains in the current cut.

Really enjoyed that, thank you!!!

This documentary is gold. thanks for posting this. RIP Shelley Duvall and Scatman Crothers. and the other 2 gentlemen (actors) Edit: Stanley kubrick was a genius but s racist and a misogynist. Hate him especially for whst he did to Shelley Duvall

Remarkable. Thank you to the Kubrick family and the filmmakers.

I always go back to the same three horror movies every couple of years or so, The ring, Rosemarys baby and The Shining. Their influence on my life and my way of seeing things is so special, also every detail in this movies is fantastic. But the most important thing for me is the performances, Naomi Watts, Mia farrow and Shelley Duvall remain my favorite actresses. Thank you so much for this, it’s adds another layer to a great film, and I would totally tour the kitchen and the pantry if they set dress it btw 😮

They should make a coffee table book of all the photos that were taken on set. I would buy it.

This was fantastic! Please do more series on kubrick historical locations and props!

Loved every moment of this.

Jan Harlan owning the Room 237 bathtub and calling it "just a bathroom" is wild. Okay Jan, show me another tub that's THAT GREEN. I'll wait...

🔥 🎥 🎞️ RIP Mr.Kubrick. 🦋Thanks for sharing!

Nice to see Katharina and Jan again. To me, Jan has the best takes on the works, combining Stanley's thought process and the public views. When they walk into that 'storage room' is uncanny. Wonder if they left it untouched on purpose. Would have been fun if you included Jack's walk from his quaters to the 'hallway' from Vivian's 'The Making of'. Puts the entire set in perspective.

Fun little doc showing what's still around after all those years. Love the insight & banter from Katharina, Jan & Leslie. Thank you!!!!

Amazing! Scene overlays... amazing! Very cool look back and introspective on the locations. Wonderfully done.

Enjoyed this so much 😊 We miss you Stanley 📽❤

That was an excellent documentary ! Really enjoyed it.

They should recreate the pantry with the door so we can all go live in that room for 30 minutes.

This is amazing! They must preserve these surviving locations!

Thank you so much for this little nugget of film history. Happy Birthday, Maestro. 🪓🪓🪓

All the studios being utilized made this look so real that you wouldn’t even know it was filmed in the studio… I really thought that was all filmed here in Oregon! Wait till you watch the DVD of the Tom Cruise and Tim Curry movie called Legend. It looks so real like they were actually filming outside. You wouldn’t have known it was in a huge studio, but there were so much lighting inside to make it look realistic that it started to catch the building on fire and that was the end of the original 007 filming location.

Ooh, nice. Transfers directly from Vivian's 16mm footage, and not a VHS copy like we're used to.

would give me chills to visit

Thank you Stanley Kubrick for amazing wonderful mind, and thank you for leaving us clues, especially after the film EYES WIDE SHUT, now our eyes are finally WIDE OPEN!!! God bless Stanley Kubrick you LEGEND ❤️x

Really enjoyed this as a lifelong fan of The Shining and Kubrick, and the split screen shots were really cool 🌟

Great documentary. I do hope it's kept. I must make my pigrimage to that Tesco carpark sometime and peek over the fence.

What an amazing documentary! Would be so cool to see something like that from other movies.

Greatest film ever made

This is so great. I wish there where tours on Elstree. It has so much history

This was so cool, especially the part about the pantry and where some of the items ended up. Thank you for this!

Oh, I love this so , so much ! Just knowing that the original crew recognized the exact filming locstions in that building made my day ! Question for anyone that knows the answer for sure, no guessing please, lol. Was ANY actual fimling taken place at the ACTUAL Stanely Hotel ? I know not on the inside , Im just inquiring about the outside shots. Thanks for any help.

One of the most important aspects of The Shining is the way Kubrick uses space and architecture and ingenious sound design to instill a sense of dread. I think it's probably the most interesting use of space in the history of cinema other than Last Year at Marienbad.

Wonderful documentary. Great job to the all people involved with this.

Wonderful documentary 👌. I find it ... sad... to realise how time goes by ... Fascinating story behind an incredible film ❤

Thank you for this!!!!

It would have been grossly inappropriate -- yet still somewhat hilarious -- if the last image had been captioned: "In loving memory of the ol' spermbank upstairs . . ." and I say this as someone who thinks Shelley Duvall's performance was PERFECTION, the performance required by her at-times brutal taskmaster, the perfectionist Stanley Kubrick. The fear we in the audience felt throughout the film was catalyzed by the fear she emoted in the scenes where she had to maintain that on-the-edge terror for months and months, in take after take after take. She really suffered for her art, and we are the beneficiaries.

Wonderful to see this. Love the film. It would have been amazing to have bought some of the props used back then!

It makes perfect sense when you realize it's all the imagination of Jack Torrance. The movie (for the most part) we see is the novel or screenplay Jack Torrance the writer is typing on his typewriter. Jack doesn't kill Halloran; nor does he try to kill his family. We the audience are drawn into the movie by being placed in the imagination of Jack Torrance. While Jack is at the Overlook, he doesn't spiral down into madness... he learns of the history of the Overlook and writes his novel about it. That's why there are 2 Gradys, Danny's impossible Big Wheel ride in an architecturally broken hotel, Ulmann's impossible office window, chairs appearing and disappearing, TVs not plugged-in working, etc. Jack, the character, (in Jack the writer's novel) is let out by Grady's ghost, because that's what Jack wrote. It's all the imagination of Jack the writer, and we, the audience are in the maze of Jack's mind, and seeing his novel unfold on the screen, as Jack writes it. Kubrick actually paid homage to King, because Jack is basically King, going through the ordeal he did when writing "The Shining". For decades I've been trying to convince people of this, but alas, no one believes me, so that's how I know I'm right, but believe whatever you like.

I hope they keep that building, and perhaps turns it into a museum ❤

Awesome piece of history. Such a great gift to fans. I gasped when I heard the studio became a store!

Oh, how exciting! Thank you, guys. Thank you all so much. It's a wonderful 25 minutes. The Shining forever!

This is brilliant, fascinating thank-you. The Shining is currently showing on BBC iplayer.

Thank you so much for doing this. Amazing
