Snag The Shining and Its Sequel on 4K Blu-Ray at an Unbeatable Price Before They’re Gone Forever
Get ready for a spooky good deal! Amazon has slashed the prices of two horror classics: The Shining and its sequel Doctor Sleep. You can snag the 4K Blu-ray of The Shining, which normally costs $42, for just $15. Meanwhile, Doctor Sleep, which usually goes for $25, is now available for $13. That’s a combined total of $28 for two chilling movies.
The Shining, directed by the legendary Stanley Kubrick, is a masterclass in psychological horror. Based on Stephen King’s novel, the film follows Jack Torrance, a writer who takes a job as a winter caretaker at the Overlook Hotel, unaware that it’s haunted by malevolent spirits. The movie stars Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, and features some of the most iconic scenes in horror movie history.
The 4K Blu-ray edition of The Shining comes with a ton of extra content, including commentary from Steadicam inventor Garrett Brown and historian John Baxter, as well as documentaries on the making of the film. It’s a must-have for any horror fan.
Doctor Sleep, directed by Mike Flanagan, is the sequel to The Shining and follows Danny Torrance, the son of Jack Torrance, as he struggles to overcome his own psychic powers and the trauma of his past. The film stars Ewan McGregor and features a star-studded cast.
The Blu-ray edition of Doctor Sleep includes two documentaries on the making of the film, as well as some extra scenes that didn’t make the final cut. It’s a great addition to any horror fan’s collection.
If you’re a fan of The Shining, you might also want to check out the 1997 TV miniseries, which was written and produced by Stephen King himself. While it received mixed reviews at the time, it’s still an interesting take on the original novel and offers a different perspective on the Overlook Hotel.
For fans of The Shining, Taschen is publishing a new book box set, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, on November 26. The two-volume set is a comprehensive guide to the film, featuring never-before-seen photos and content based on hundreds of hours of interviews. You can preorder it now for $75, which is 40% off its list price.
Finally, if you haven’t read Stephen King’s original novel, The Shining, or his sequel, Doctor Sleep, now is the perfect time. Both books are considered horror classics and offer a unique perspective on the characters and events of the films.
