1:29
year 74
1:30
winter was rolling in there was a lot of
1:32
snow
1:34
and stephen king and his wife were one
1:35
of the last ones to check in so he was
1:37
kind of
1:38
stuck in the hotel
1:40
you know very well eventually morphed
1:42
into
1:43
what we know is the shining by kubrick
1:45
one of my all-time favorite films not
1:47
only the horror genre but just across
1:49
the board probably my top ten i've
1:51
analyzed it i have
1:52
really dove deep into that movie over
1:54
the years
2:05
and i'm sure anyone else that has
2:05
this place no needs really
2:08
no introduction
2:09
this is the real life overlook hotel
2:13
and they do embrace it fully now keep in
2:15
mind
2:16
none of kubrick's film took place was
2:18
documented and filmed on this property
2:21
but nearly all the 97 mini series
2:25
filmed right here now my check-in time
2:27
is not until 4 pm it is currently about
2:29
1 18 1 19 so i got a couple hours to
2:32
wander around
2:34
before going into my room and i'll give
2:36
a room review too i'll show what the
2:37
rooms are like and just to really
2:39
represent the shining in all its glory
2:41
they have built a hedge maze here
2:44
they have a hedge maze
2:46
just like jack torrance would have gone
2:48
through i'm gonna have to do that at
2:50
some point i wanted to show this the
2:52
scene in dumb and dumber
2:54
when they pull up in the fancy sports
2:56
car
2:57
the sports car was parked right here
3:01
and it pulls up there jim carrey jeff
3:03
teddles get out of the sports car and
3:05
those are the stairs that jim carrey
3:06
goes up and he's handing out the money
3:08
there you go there you go the stanley
3:10
hotel a grand heritage hotel
3:19
there's the hedge maze down there
3:19
oh this is so cool back in june of 1909
3:23
f.o stanley who's the founder and the
3:26
architect was robert
3:28
weiger
3:30
also placed on the national registry
3:32
of historic places and now walking in
3:35
i'm noticing the word stanley is across
3:37
this classic car
3:39
alert here as well
3:41
take a look
3:42
at this beauty right here in the lobby
3:45
i'm already starting to get some some
3:46
mini series vibes in here because this
3:48
is where
3:49
rebecca de mourine a little action scene
3:52
actually a lot of the action took place
3:54
like right over in here in front of the
3:56
front door it does look a little bit
3:57
different like it's been repainted and
3:59
different carpet and whatnot but
4:01
this is it and the front counter kind of
4:03
looks the same from that mini series and
4:06
right next to the elevator and the
4:07
staircase is a gift shop
4:10
they have some very interesting items
4:12
and they really do embrace some of the
4:14
items in the gift shop they have all
4:16
kind of little trinkets and knickknacks
4:19
other paraphernalia that you can
4:20
purchase
4:21
you know what it has to do with the
4:23
shining whether it be room keys little
4:26
emblems
4:27
plushies things like that even the books
4:31
you know stuff even alluding to the
4:33
miniseries as well all kind of scattered
4:35
through
4:36
the gift shop and outside the gift shop
4:38
if you go in the bar even though it's
4:39
been completely remodeled
4:41
this is where the scene in dumb and
4:43
dumber where jim carrey's character was
4:45
waiting
4:46
patiently and they've landed on the moon
4:48
that whole scene
4:50
so you said room 217 sold out for a like
4:53
her year straight yeah and then for uh
4:56
halloween oh yeah
4:58
i had someone calling in about that
4:59
earlier today
5:00
yeah we got a lot of questions is there
5:02
a 217 key over there yeah yes it matches
5:05
the metal on the doors so this is from
5:07
the mold of the original keys i think so
5:09
i think so that's the room stephen king
5:11
cited right 217 that is
5:13
the shining room will i be able to see
5:15
the room when i stay up there tonight i
5:16
can see the door you can go stop by
5:18
people do stay in there so you know
5:20
yeah definitely i won't knock on the
5:22
door
5:22
hide in the bathtub yeah anything like
5:25
that
5:26
it's like we have the caretaker cottage
5:28
tour as well
5:30
okay i went up to the guest counter here
5:31
and they were showing me the keys and
5:32
whatnot and i have really good news for
5:34
myself and you know for anyone that's
5:36
going to be watching this because i was
5:38
originally going to be staying in the
5:40
lodge now granted you can walk around on
5:42
property i was going to ask because i
5:43
was staying at the lodge which is part
5:45
of the same complex which is right
5:47
around that corner
5:49
because everything online was sold out
5:51
to stay in
5:53
the stanley proper
5:56
but one popped up and they said
5:58
yeah you could stay here for the same
5:59
price it was like 370 dollars and change
6:02
plus tax a little pricey but you know
6:04
what
6:05
i mean come on i had to do it which
6:08
means i will be able to walk up

6:16
side of water even though that is water
6:18

7:06
windy
7:08

7:09
light of my life

7:14
area is i didn't realize they had all
7:16
this celebrities and royalty that
7:19
visited
7:20
the stanley
7:22
some notable names through here oh
7:24
there's bob dylan
7:26
right there all right this is pretty
7:28
cool take a look at that there's even
7:29
like a signage there
7:31
there's howler in there
7:34
rebecca de mourinho
7:36
and then of course over here
7:38
jim carrey jeff daniels
7:40
boyd christmas oh there's the it was the
7:42
danbury it's called the danbury
7:44
fictional danbury
7:45
there's jim carrey this is signed by all
7:47
of them this might be like a vinyl like
7:49
lp oh wow they have the dollhouse from
7:52
the miniseries
7:54
i'm gonna show where this was outside
7:56
there's a there's a spot where
7:58
you know jack torrance is walking up to
8:00
this and you see the real hotel behind
8:03
it but then you see this
8:04
in there in the miniseries i can't i was
8:07
watching clips of that recently within
8:09
the last week when i was going to be
8:10
here and i thought whatever happened to
8:12
that didn't realize it's right here on
8:13
property all right the tour i'm doing is
8:15
called the caretakers tour it was 30
8:18
and that is the tour you have to have a
8:20
series of different tours but that's the
8:21
only tour where you can see
8:24
the act of this jack nicholson signature
8:26
everywhere you turn there's just
8:27
something from kubrick's or something
8:30
from the miniseries
8:32
all through here
8:33
the creaky floors really add to the
8:35
ambiance you know but jack has you've
8:38
always
8:39
been the caretaker i'm going on the
8:40
caretaker tour
8:42
now the caretaker's cottage is adjacent
8:45
to the main
8:46
building right over here
8:48
in the corner
8:49
and they did not allow filming inside
8:51
does it it's about probably 45 minutes
8:53
to an hour very very informative but i
8:55
was allowed to take pictures like i
8:56
asked if i could film they said no they
8:58
appreciate it if i couldn't film but i
8:59
did get some photos they could take all
9:01
the photos i wanted and i was offered
9:02
some juice and a snack a cookie and
9:05
juice going in once again i was the only
9:07
person on the tour
9:09
you could see the inside even though the
9:10
furniture has been
9:12
you know it's not it's this time time
9:14
period furniture but it's not the
9:15
original furniture that was in front of
9:16
the fireplace
9:18
where the family would relax also
9:20
a kind of a prop typewriter there that's
9:23
the main caretaker
9:24
this was the master bath down here is
9:27
the master bedroom
9:29
and then also this is looking out the
9:31
windows is how close in proximity it was
9:33
and they even they did up one of the
9:35
rooms as what they called the shining
9:37
room
9:38
with that shining kubrick shining carpet
9:40
there and there's that famous photo
9:44
but the axe was in a safe
9:47
and this is one of the screen used axes
9:49
it's not the one that busted down the
9:51
door this one is made of a lighter
9:53
substance
9:54
that nicholson was carrying
9:56
in a couple of the other scenes but not
9:58
the one that he busted down the door
10:00
there was only a few screen used ones
10:01
and this is one of them and they kept it
10:03
behind a gate coated case you can even
10:06
see there's the plaque there on the door
10:09
and check this out
10:11
they have recreated the bathroom
10:13
where the woman comes out of the
10:14
bathroom
10:16
and look at this this is a recreation of
10:17
kubrick's bathroom and i got to stand in
10:20
the tub he said you could stand in the
10:21
tub said he with my shoes on he said yep
10:24
even with your shoes on look at that how
10:26
couldn't forget that that scene is
10:28
insane
10:30
look at that that is so cool even the
10:32
tiles on the ground
10:34
and even the little rust marks the
10:36
recreation rust marks
10:39
on the sink
10:40
pretty cool tour and there are some side
10:42
buildings also not the caretakers area
10:44
but there are some side buildings and
10:47
i believe is the lodge where i was going
10:48
to be staying then i acquired if they
10:50
had rooms in the main stanley
10:52
and they did so i really lucked out with
10:54
that but even staying in the lodge would
10:56
just be pretty dang awesome i mean it is
10:58
here on the same property it's owned by
11:00
the by the stanley as well
11:02
but i guess you know if you want to get
11:04
technical it's not inside the stanley
11:07
hotel back in 15 is when they
11:10
designed the stanley hedge maze
11:13
obviously after
11:16
that iconic moment i bet in the winter
11:18
time you'd feel just like
11:20
jack torrance nicholson
11:22
danny
11:23
oh wow that kind of startled me the
11:25
fed's kind of
11:26
kind of lean towards me
11:31
and i would imagine over the years well
11:31
if it was in 2015 i would have thought
11:33
these plants would be a little bit
11:34
higher those are pretty high over there
11:38
but through here you don't get it's
11:39
pretty easy to figure a way for your way
11:41
through here because
11:43
you know you can see you see well i'm
11:45
pretty tall so i could see over the top
11:46
of the
11:47
over the top of the hedges okay i think
11:49
i found the way i think i think i found
11:51
the way
11:52
and there he is right here in the hedge
11:54
maze f f.o stanley nature has endowed
11:57
estes park in a wonderful manner
12:01
that's what it says right here on the
12:02
quotation
12:04
which is where
12:05
the stanley is located i got a piano in
12:08
here too
12:11
says please refrain from touching the
12:13
keys and there are a few more items down
12:15
in here too it's down the bottom floor
12:18
the creaky door behind me
12:20
this whole classic vehicle is parked out
12:22
front
12:25
the gateway to the rocky mountain
12:26
national park is another typewriter
12:29
down there
12:35
oh look at this pieces of room 217 the
12:35
base of the hotel plaster piece pieces
12:37
the original wallpaper
12:38
from 217 were discovered
12:42
wow
12:44
room 217. oh wow and then in 1911 there
12:48
was an explosion
12:51
okay due to thunderstorm caused the
12:52
power on june of 19
12:55
head chain remain elizabeth wilson
12:56
attempted the light to back up gas lamp
12:59
in room 217
13:01
she was hurled through the room
13:05
in room 217.
13:07
okay 217 was originally a suite of four
13:09
rooms pictured here is one of the rooms
13:10
in the suite note the wallpaper
13:12
furniture and decorations from the 20th
13:14
century
13:22
and there's efo stanley sitting on the
13:22
porch of this cottage here's a nice
13:24
little artifact too it's like a cashier
13:26
window i don't know if that was used to
13:28
anything but i mean the purpose is a
13:29
historical value but i don't know if
13:30
that was in the mini series
13:32
or not now this door you have to do a
13:34
different tour i don't think i'm going
13:36
to do any more tours i think one was
13:37
enough
13:38
for now because i'm going to be kind of
13:39
doing my own little personal tour once i
13:42
check in this is called the tunnel was
13:43
used in ghost adventures stanley effect
13:45
and adventure miss
13:47
but it's through this door it's the old
13:49
it's the old tunnel
13:51
that the employees would pass through
13:54
that's pretty neat
13:59
and through that door they had a little
13:59
coffee stand called the
14:01
colorado cherry company which is it's
14:04
not cherry flavored coffee but i got a
14:05
vanilla latte
14:11
right inside there inside the stanley
14:12
and here's a little screen grab from the
14:14
mini series of the house little
14:16
miniature house
14:18
next to the playground
14:20
kind of in the same spot now where this
14:22
secondary parking lot has now been
14:24
created
14:25
so it would have been right about like
14:27
which is where the swing set was and
14:29
everything
14:30
from the 97 version
14:32
and then when halloran pulls up on the
14:34
snow cat
14:36
it was right in front
14:37
just about just about kind of from that
14:39
angle you know not specifically but more
14:41
or less that angle
14:55
so that was the angle where the sports
14:55
car pulls up
14:57
where harold and lloyd pull up to the
14:58
front of the building and all the boxes
15:00
fall out of the front of the the side of
15:02
the vehicle when they open up the
15:04
the goal wing doors
15:07
is right there
15:09
so it looks exactly the same well we'll
15:12
see the sign
15:13
being very generous with them with all
15:15
that money they did not earn it was in
15:17
the samsonite
15:18
it was in the samsonite briefcase
15:27
here's another one of jim carrey walking
15:27
down the stairs there's also one where
15:29
he hands the money to the
15:31
valet guy
15:32
which there's a really long line for
15:34
check-in right now so i'm just kind of
15:36
doing this before i check in but right
15:38
over there is where
15:40
kind of hands the guy the money just
15:42
kind of like right over there where
15:43
those people are waiting to check in and
15:45
after that he goes over to the bar
15:47
so the bar's on that far corner that's
15:49
where it was a little bit ago it's all
15:50
in the same area and also the front
15:52
entry doors is the same doors that
15:53
hallerin walks in
15:55
and jack comes out of the elevator
15:56
smashes them with the croquet mallet
15:58
looking back that direction of course
16:00
it's light out at the moment but and
16:02
it's not snowing
16:04
but that elevator gives quite the reveal
16:06
when he comes out with that mallet
16:08
staircase there smashes howler in the
16:10
head with the croquet
16:11
mallet now obviously the kubrick is the
16:13
far more superior one but there's some
16:14
there's some good moments in the mini
16:16
series it's got a few good moments
16:18
gotta give it some credit okay not much
16:20
credit but a little credit you gotta
16:21
give it up gotta give it a little credit
16:23
i'm showing this banister because this
16:24
is where rebecca de morde was screaming
16:26
as seen here trying to trying to warn
16:28
him
16:29
didn't work though
16:30
here's a really good angle where jack is
16:32
kind of chasing wendy wendy's down here
16:35
on the floor it's kind of like a low
16:37
view like this looking up and they end
16:39
up going into this very door here which
16:41
is behind the counter
16:43
and jack is practicing his swing his
16:47
croquet mallet swing as shown there from
16:49
that low angle all right at 4 54. so 54
16:53
minutes took me to finally get checked
16:55
in and i am staying in room
16:58
313.
17:00
all right i'm getting on the basement
17:02
elevator and going to level three
17:05
the basement where the tours are and
17:06
whatnot look at this thing so b stands
17:08
for basement
17:10
this thing has some serious history
17:14
just going up to the lobby okay i just
17:15
went past the lobby no one on level one
17:17
push the button so i'm going up to two
17:19
and then the three
17:42
come and play with us danny
17:42
forever
17:44
ever and ever
17:48
i have made it to my room room
17:51
three one
17:52
three
17:54
three thirteen
17:56
i've already placed my bags
17:58
over there on the chair a little room
18:00
tour
18:01
if you will
18:13
don't want anyone
18:13
with an axe walking through that door
18:14
well i could probably just
18:16
wear a mallet i do like that i have a
18:18
good view out the window of the
18:21
caretaker's cottage
18:23
there is no air conditioning in here
18:25
let's see if does this open okay that's
18:28
nope they've got them sealed up that
18:29
does not open
18:31
so there is no ac in this version
18:33
there's two other
18:34
off-site
18:36
hotels well on-site hotels
18:43
see how this view is
18:43
okay this is the back courtyard view
18:45
around the back
18:47
nice queen-size bed now to reiterate i
18:50
had a
18:51
queen-size room
18:53
over at the lodge accommodations but
18:55
because i got here really early i just
18:57
inquired if they had
18:59
something over here and because it was
19:00
the same price
19:02
they went ahead and gave me this room
19:05
which was awesome but i feel like if i
19:06
would have got here right at 4 pm at
19:07
check-in there's just no way that would
19:09
have been
19:10
that would have happened into the
19:12
facilities over here yeah this is a
19:14
really nice
19:16
nice room got the
19:18
soap
19:19
shampoo
19:20
a new shower what's over in here
19:24
oh little closet
19:27
put your
19:28
luggage on there got the iron
19:31
ironing board
19:41
nice shower here this is nice
19:41
now when i travel i always bring an
19:43
extra fan i usually put it by either the
19:45
foot of the bed like over there or i put
19:47
it like on the on the side just to give
19:49
a little circulation
19:50
so not having ac in a room really not
19:52
that big of a deal for me because i just
19:53
like to have
19:54
you know some air flowing but this also
19:57
has an additional
19:58
ceiling fan
20:00
which was really nice a couch so really
20:02
if somebody wanted to
20:03
sleep on the couch a second person could
20:05
sleep on the couch just me
20:06
i'm in here me and the ghosts
20:10
of this place
20:12
looks like a pretty decent sized room
20:15
and there is a keurig which is a nice
20:17
touch as well i always like having a
20:19
keurig
20:20
a little fancier version than a regular
20:22
small
20:23
coffee maker so i'm pretty happy with
20:25
the room
20:26
a little pricey but you know it's a
20:28
win-row moment and i think really the
20:30
best thing about all this
20:32
is i'm in this building so i have access
20:34
to all the hallways
20:35
i can go to room 217 show the door
20:39
and show the locations from
20:41
the mini series while i'm in here which
20:43
i wouldn't have been able to do if i was
20:44
staying at the lodge so heck yeah okay i
20:46
got my stuff put away walk from the
20:48
third level up to the fourth level
20:50
room four one three i'm reading the
20:52
paper they gave me it says several
20:54
guests have reported seeing a man
20:56
dressed in quote old-fashioned clothes
20:59
standing in the corner
21:01
of the room
21:03
i'm glad i'm not staying in 4 13. and
21:06
then also room 407
21:08
said that you can feel someone tucking
21:10
you in throughout the night
21:12
someone feels like someone sitting on
21:15
the side of the bed
21:17
i'm glad i'm not in 407. and here's a
21:20
really old photo here this is from
21:23
wow is that 1820s yeah that's the 1820s
21:26
also there must be a fifth level this
21:28
must go up to the roof but
21:30
that's the attic i don't even want to
21:32
know
21:34
what's in the attic room 428
21:37
a cowboy
21:39
tends to frequent inside
21:42
these accommodations
21:44
a cowboy can see be seen pacing at the
21:47
front of the bat the bed a wild west
21:50
character
21:52
when asked to leave
21:54
he did
21:55
but he leaned over and gave the woman
21:58
staying in there a kiss
22:05
very interesting room 418 things move
22:05
around on their own covers get pulled
22:07
back
22:08
items taken off shelves
22:21
it is really eerie in here and just i
22:21
don't know i just kind of get it it's so
22:22
quiet and airy trying to
22:25
find room 401
22:27
so you got 405 here then 403.
22:31
it appears as a 401 is under
22:33
construction
22:40
there's a sign
22:40
says it's under construction
22:42
but 401
22:44
according to this is accommodated by
22:47
someone to believe be believed as lord
22:50
dunraven
22:56
closet doors open and close
22:56
and you can feel lord dunraven's arm
22:59
around your shoulders or waist
23:02
level two
23:05
the infamous room 217.
23:23
and among many other things that have
23:23
happened since then
23:26
according to the
23:27
folklore
23:28
that is where stephen king stayed
23:31
and got the idea to write the book the
23:33
shining in 217.
23:36
booked up for a year in advance if you
23:38
want to
23:39
rent that room out
23:41
and you go out the doors into the second
23:43
level and kind of down
23:45
these stairs this is where i was earlier
23:48
checking in down there this is looking
23:51
down
23:55
sounds like there's a lot of people in
23:57
the lobby
23:58
i'll match up some more of the
24:01
97
24:02
shining at some point too but i just
24:05
wanted to show some of the
24:07
some of the ghost stuff
24:08
ghosts
24:50
that's for posterity
24:50
incredible mountains over there
24:58
don't want to get snowed in here for the
24:58
winter however
25:04
i don't want that though it's also very
25:04
interesting that stephen king returned
25:06
here to the scene of where he got the
25:09
idea to write the book
25:10
to correct he corrected him talking
25:14
about kubrick
25:15
because he was not really into the
25:16
kubrick version wanted to put his own
25:18
mini series out
25:20
so he returned here and did a little
25:23
some promo
25:25
work you know to promote and also you
25:28
know put the film out the mini series
25:29
out
25:30
so we stayed here once probably stayed
25:32
here more than once this building here
25:34
is the lodge where i was gonna be
25:35
staying
25:37
this is the concert hall i believe
25:46
and if you follow this road you look at
25:46
it on maps
25:48
right up here is overlook lane which
25:50
connects with overlook court interesting
25:52
name now there is a town just a couple
25:54
minutes down the road and the tour guide
25:56
was telling me that the reason the real
25:58
caretaker
25:59
did not kind of go off the deep end like
26:01
jack torrance did because he would check
26:03
the farmer's almanac and every so often
26:05
every couple weeks during the heavy
26:06
winter
26:08
he knew he could go down to town and
26:10
meet up with a couple people and
26:12
have a little
26:13
friendship and fellowship going on that
26:14
would keep him a little bit insane
26:16
where obviously
26:18
in the movie and miniseries
26:20
that just wasn't a possibility directly
26:22
behind the hotel is overlooked court
26:25
called the residences at the stanley
26:29
can't go any further than this but you
26:31
can see
26:32
there are houses or condos up here
26:35
that people can live in either for sale
26:38
or for rent trying to find a place to
26:40
get something to eat here on property
26:41
there's a place called the post which
26:43
says
26:44
it's the old carriage house by fo fo
26:47
stanley so the old carriage house was
26:49
renovated into now a restaurant called
26:52
the post and the merchandise that they
26:54
have inside is pretty interesting
26:56
there's even a shining shirt there's the
26:59
twins right there but instead of having
27:01
the girls faces they're chicken heads
27:03
chicken head twins went ahead and placed
27:05
an order here at the post
27:08
and i had to buy the shirt it said to me
27:10
about 10-15 minutes i ordered a chicken
27:12
sandwich
27:14
and mac and cheese and mashed potatoes
27:16
and gravy and that back up in my room
27:18
just for a bit decided to eat in my room
27:19
instead of grabbing a table at the
27:20
restaurant but this
27:22
is what we're dealing with got the
27:24
ketchup for the fries there looks to be
27:26
a pretty good size piece of chicken
27:28
there between the two pieces of bread
27:30
almost like a hamburger bun
27:31
toasted
27:32
and some sort of secret sauce
27:35
mashed potatoes with the gravy mixed in
27:37
it looks like a little extra something
27:39
in the gravy there looks pretty tasty
27:42
and then some mac and cheese
27:44
16 ounces but you know
27:46
kind of 16 ounces i didn't feel all the
27:48
way to brown but
27:50
that's what we're dealing with
27:53
i'm in the mood for some chicken
27:59
after this i'm going to wander around a
27:59
little more yeah the sun is now setting
28:01
it looks pretty amazing over the
28:02
mountain range there with the sun
28:04
kind of setting
28:06
i'm gonna go walk through here and show
28:08
a little bit more of the spots from the
28:09
miniseries
28:11
starting with one right here at the
28:12
staircase looking down from level four
28:14
danny's going into a door down on the
28:17
bottom floor
28:18
and that door
28:20
is right down there
28:22
looking exactly the same other than the
28:24
carpets change but that door
28:26
it's still down there you could just
28:28
picture danny walking in there don't go
28:30
in there
28:31
and as darkness is rearing its head
28:33
there's a couple spots i could not find
28:35
i don't know if they redid the place
28:37
over the last 25 years or not
28:39
but there's a few scenes like this one
28:41
here that do not look like the hallways
28:42
in there so i wonder if they use the
28:44
lodge because that building is around
28:46
the same time too and after going inside
28:49
and kind of roaming the halls leading
28:52
towards the rooms it is not in the lodge
28:55
it has to be
28:56
over there
28:59
in the the big building has to be or
29:01
maybe it was on a sound stage could be
29:02
on the sound stage just certain scenes
29:05
check out this little vehicle
29:07
i'm kind of leaning towards maybe a
29:08
sound stage
29:10
for some of the hallways so i'll just
29:11
continue showing some of the ones that
29:12
are definitely
29:14
in here i'm not trying to match up
29:15
everything this isn't a full filming
29:17
location video or anything i figured
29:19
since i was here i might as well
29:21
show what i can show
29:23
kind of give a good rundown oh it looks
29:24
neat all lit up like this doesn't it
29:27
wow looks cool at night
29:35
that looks so cool and another great
29:35
image of him with the croquet mallet
29:36
here in the front lobby notice the three
29:39
windows there
29:40
behind him as the entrance to the lobby
29:42
and with the exception of the carpet and
29:44
some new furniture pretty much still
29:45
looks the same there's three windows and
29:47
the mcgregor room down there can be seen
29:49
from another angle but walk over a few
29:51
feet and get that i gotta say i much
29:52
prefer the the axe and the in the
29:55
kubrick and nicholson but you know
29:56
croquet mallet works too more or less
29:59
and one level up from where the lobby is
30:02
kind of looking down he's like standing
30:03
there with that croquet mallet from this
30:05
angle and in that photo there was
30:07
definitely wood floor you can definitely
30:08
see that they have replaced it with
30:10
carpet now
30:11
and even new carpet here on the stairs
30:14
as well over here on the 200 block this
30:16
is the only place i could figure where
30:18
danny comes down the stairs
30:20
and looks at the fire hose
30:23
or the hose not the fire hose but just
30:24
the hose there it's the only level that
30:26
has a nozzle that i've seen next to a
30:28
staircase like this so i'm guessing in
30:30
the last 25 years they've removed or
30:32
they've added
30:34
those additional doors down there and
30:36
kind of change the archways a little bit
30:37
keep in mind they probably use a wide
30:39
angle lens which makes the door over on
30:42
that side down the way
30:44
seem a little bit farther away but this
30:46
is my best best guess as shown here from
30:51
see there's the stairs there's the
30:52
firehouse
30:55
there's the door down there and then
30:57
they added the additional doors that are
30:59
here in 2022 and this is pretty awesome
31:02
these the little seats that are down
31:03
here going from level two down to the
31:05
lobby
31:06
still look the same with the railings
31:08
and everything but there's a little seat
31:09
area over there
31:10
looks identical except for the carpet
31:12
and of course back in 97 less
31:14
photographs less picture frames and
31:16
mirrors on that wall too now i'm going
31:18
to say they probably did not utilize
31:20
level 4 too much
31:22
simply because there's just no room with
31:24
the
31:25
roof and ceiling line right there to
31:26
have the arches
31:28
but
31:29
level 3
31:30
has the most arches
31:32
okay i kind of feel in my opinion that
31:35
the long haul man the squeaking of these
31:37
floors really just does add to the
31:38
ambiance
31:40
the long hallway angles were kind of
31:42
like right here but you can see how
31:44
there's one archway
31:46
but i think there were some all the way
31:48
down this hallway this is really the
31:49
only floor you could do that on
31:51
and you know the doors kind of match up
31:55
that's really unless it was on a sound
31:56
stage it was it was on this level right
31:59
here and i feel like they added a fake
32:01
door all the way at the end of the
32:02
hallway i don't think i think that door
32:04
all the way at the end that you see
32:05
multiple times was not a real door just
32:07
for a fact and here's another one with a
32:09
kind of a fisheye like angle looking
32:12
down the arches of danny but you see
32:13
that that door at the end which there's
32:15
no door here
32:16
in real time the numbers don't match up
32:18
either on the doors now this is just a
32:19
guesstimate i cannot confirm but
32:22
possibly a fake door at the end
32:25
and this was where
32:27
he comes out of the room
32:29
you think he's safe and then the hands
32:30
pull them back in
32:32
keep in mind
32:33
the arches have been removed there's one
32:35
arch at that end but not anymore down
32:37
the hallway that's my best guess all
32:38
right i went back and watched quite a
32:40
few scenes and there are definitely
32:43
some parts in the mini series in 97 that
32:46
were not inside this it looked like they
32:48
could have been in the hallways but
32:50
there's one or two frames
32:52
the light just came on
32:54
that light just turned on
32:57
there's one or two moments that are not
32:59
in this hotel
33:00
at least not in the modern hotel
33:02
and there's some parts where he's taking
33:04
the mallet and kind of busting down in
33:06
the side of the hallways inside of some
33:08
of the rooms that was probably a sound
33:10
stage
33:12
in my opinion and now for the real
33:14
challenge
33:15
the hedge maze
33:18
at night
33:20
i'm going into the other side and go
33:22
through the side
33:23
went the other way before
33:25
well this might be a little too dark
33:35
i don't even know if this is wise to be
33:36
going through here when you can't see
33:38
anything
33:39
i might trip over one of these rocks
33:40
that kind of make up the maze itself
33:43
i'm doing it
33:46
i could hide over here
33:48
and do like an hhn
33:50
moment where someone turns around the
33:52
side of the bush
33:54
that wouldn't be nice that would be nice
33:56
i'm not going to do that
33:58
you could really startle someone though
33:59
i would probably have a heart
34:00
palpitation
34:02
i'm looking at my reflection in this
34:04
mirror to see if anything
34:07
my reflection shows up so i know i'm not
34:08
a
34:09
vampire
34:10
i'm looking if there's anything
34:12
else what was that noise
34:18
i don't know what that noise was
34:18
i don't think it was anything look at
34:20
someone's cell phone making
34:21
a racket but and i also remember seeing
34:24
a viral photograph that was kind of
34:26
floating around the interwebs
34:28
that a guy took in here he did like a
34:32
like a 360 camera type of thing
34:34
and part of the 360 image
34:37
there was a figure
34:39
that was right up here on this corner
34:40
standing against that railing right
34:44
i don't see a figure there now though
34:46
in that photograph would look pretty
34:47
real i have to admit i am partial and
34:50
really love
34:52
the kubrick version jack nicholson
34:54
portraying jack torrance
34:57
i did read the book a long time ago
34:59
and i thought the book
35:01
using my imagination was more
35:03
frightening than the mini series but
35:05
there were some moments in the mini
35:06
series that i liked
35:08
nonetheless
35:09
dumb and dumber
35:10
the shining stephen king history
35:13
all right here i was just talking to the
35:15
guy at the front desk and he said that
35:16
this does not look familiar to him at
35:18
all that's the one i'm confused by
35:20
that scene
35:22
this one nowhere in the hotel
35:29
and that one
35:29
he was saying that they did film a
35:30
little bit on a sound stage in denver so
35:32
that's what i'm going with and that's
35:33
gonna do it
35:35
for today
35:37
from the stand up the light just went

off what the heck why
35:41
that's weird maybe it's on a timer
35:44
i'll see you in the next video
35:46
the vlog
35:47
is
35:55
such a cool looking hotel and
35:55
the tour guide was saying that the
35:56
shining
35:57
really had a lot to do with saving this
35:59
place it was fallen on disrepair many
36:01
years ago
36:02
and the book
36:04
the original movie
36:06
not so much the mini series
36:09
really helped propel the popularity of
36:11
this place
36:13
in fact i don't know how many people
36:14
really
36:16
associate this with the 97 version
36:18
but really if you're staying here or
36:20
just walking around the hallways walking
36:22
around the lobby it's a film site
36:25
i'll see you the next video
