Rev Dead's October's Horror Flick Countdown!!! 31 Of My Favorites!!! #10 The Shining!!

#10 The Shining
 
 This month we are going to step away from only Zombie stuff, and I am going to give you my Top 31 Horror films (Minus any Zombie Flicks we will have a top ten for that don't worry) And these are my Favorites. I went with a few questions to get this list. One Did I like the film? (bit of a no brainer here) Two, Did I like Film A better than Film B? In other words if both flicks were on or had to decide which one to watch, what would I pick? Three, would I watch it over and over if it were on TV? (even commercial Television) After all this I came up with a list of about 50 Movies and had to cut it down, trying to keep Sequels out, Remakes Out (I do have a couple of Exceptions so don't hold me to it) And I kept Zombie flicks out just for this countdown, to get something a little different for the Month Of October. And these are my best and by no means will they be everyone else's favorites so don't get all artsy fartsy on me and say well you missed this classic of that, I love horror movies and I will probably agree but I liked these more. So just relax and enjoy!!!

In my Eyes a little different from the book as we see this more through Jack Torrence's eyes (Jack Nicholson's character) where in the book we see the story unfold more through the eyes of the little boy Danny (Danny Lloyd) As with most the book is better....
That being said what a great flick. Stuck up in the old hotel to the point that Jack goes a little bonkers, gives you that claustrophobic feeling and Kubrick's direction and camera angles make this film one of a kind.
