'The Shining' Hotel Will Host a New Horror Film Festival
There are few horror movie locales more famous than — or as chilling/thrilling to visit as — The Timberline Lodge, located in Government Camp, Oregon, on Mount Hood. The building was used by Stanley Kubrick for exterior shots of The Overlook Hotel in his 1980 Stephen King adaptation, The Shining, and thus seems a natural choice to play host to its own film festival featuring new and classic horror favorites, and that’s just what it’ll do next spring.

'The Shining' Becomes Sheer Poultry in Bizarre Sundance Short 'The Chickening' (NSFW)
The Chickening, a five-minute film that’s been making the festival rounds, has just landed on the Internet — and once you’ve watched it, you’ll definitely be wondering “What the cluck?” Nick DenBoer and Davy Force’s completely bonkers movie (which played at Sundance yesterday) takes footage from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and re-edits it with layers upon layers of digital effects and animation. In The Chickening, the sinister Overlook Hotel from The Shining becomes Charbay’s Chicken World, “the largest fast foot entertainment complex in North America,” where Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) is hired to be the night manager. It should surprise no one that directors, co-writers, and animators DenBoer and Force have been involved with the edgier side of animated film for years, contributing to Adult Swim, Mondo Media, and Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation.

Colorado Hotel That Inspired 'The Shining' Could Be Turned Into Horror Museum
Organizers in Colorado are planning to build what is being called the world’s first horror-themed museum, and they’ve got the perfect venue: the Stanley Hotel, which famously inspired guest Stephen King to create The Overlook Hotel in his 1977 bestseller The Shining, the source for Stanley Kubrick’s seminal 1980 cinematic chiller. The Stanley Hotel is located in the resort-filled Estes Park, Colorado, home of the Rocky Mountain National Park and located 70 miles northwest of Denver. The Stanley Hotel (StanleyHotel.com) King stayed at the Stanley while on vacation with his wife in 1974, and a nightmare he had during the stay sparked the idea for The Shining.

Donald Trump Scarier Than Ever in Horror Movie Mashups
The thought of Donald Trump becoming the 45th president of the United States is enough to scare the hair right off of some people. And the Photoshop aces on DesignCrowd have taken that Trump fear factor a few steps further — churning out over 100 images of the gaudy real estate mogul in scenes from iconic horror movies. Inspired by a photo of Trump terrorizing a knife-wielding Shelley Duvall in a meme from The Shining that went viral a few weeks ago, the Australian design firm crowd-sourced 124 similarly themed designs in an online contest. The winner, from a designer named Omee, was simple but inspired, adding Trump’s reflection to a glass door opposite a horrified Drew Barrymore in the first Scream.
