Special Halloween screening of The Shining (1980) What better way to spend Halloween than go to my local cinema (a sold out audience) and see this Kubrick masterpiece :) On the big screen the cinematography and sound were outstanding. Plus we got to see extra scenes not on the previously released DVD of it that I have! There several of them. The best new scene being near the end when Wendy runs into a room packed with cobwebs and corpses. Despite the packed crowd and that the whole thing was just under 3hours (though that did include some shitty adverts and trailers at the start) but the audience was all in full concentration and not as noisy as usual-yes there were still a lot of people eating, drinking and going the toilet but the film was loud enough to drown all this out. I could go back and watch it again-I enjoyed it that much :) Going to have to lend my mate a copy of the book as thanks for getting us tickets for it :)
