In 2013, King released his book sequel to The Shining. The rub here, for King, is that it's actually because of Kubrick's vagueness, because the film lacked those harder explanations of the Overlook Hotel's powers, that it's considered one of the scariest films ever. Eventually, an adaptation much closer to the book came out in 1997, as a three-episode TV miniseries, and while it was a ratings hit there was no way Kubrick's version of The Shining was ever going to be seen as anything other than the definitive Shining. King famously resented the movie, as Kubrick's film left a bunch of details from the novel out. It's also arguably the best adaptation of a Stephen King book. Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is one of the most well-regarded horror movies of all time - a standout not only of the genre but of cinema itself.
