REPUBLISHED TEXTS Kubrick was renowned for his rigorous research and we have followed hisapproach. Numerous rare texts read by the director in preparation for theproduction are included, such as: • H.P. Lovecraft — Supernatural Horror in Literature. A seminal yet largelyoverlooked essay that significantly influenced Kubrick in his decision not toexplain the horrors which unfold at The Overlook. • Stephen Crane — The Blue Hotel. Kubrick acknowledged that the eventsunfolding in The Shining owe a large debt to Stephen Crane’s short story TheBlue Hotel. First serialised in 1898, the American author’s story was laterpublished in 1899 in the anthology, The Monster and Other Stories, and will nowbe available in this publication. • Sigmund Freud — The Uncanny. Kubrick referenced Freud’s influential 1919essay The Uncanny in his research as a key text. Freud explores many ideas thatare woven through the film: retracing steps, recurring numbers and motifs andthe significance of the double. Here we re-publish an extract from the essay. THE IMAGERY Art plays a rich, significant role in The Shining, bothliterally and metaphorically. The hotel walls are adorned with art by a numberof artists from various periods in history, and the work of classical andconceptual artists are essential to the visual and conceptual nature of thefilm. A number of these are carefully reproduced here including piecesby: • AlexColeville • A.Y.Jackson • FredrickH. Varley • NorvalMorrisseau • Franciscode Goya •Reubens • JohnWilliam Waterhouse • JohnEverett Millais • William GilbertGaul • AgnesDenes • CarlAndre THE SCRAPBOOK Arguably, the film's most haunting character is the OverlookHotel itself. We have trawled archives and libraries to source photographs ofthe numerous existing and real locations and hotels which influenced the setdesign. We include reproductions of: • Original promotional postcards from numerous researchlocations drawn upon for the design of the hotel. • Original hotel ephemera from existing hotels which cite direct influences onthe Overlook including Native American themes, promotional decor, and even roomdesign and names. • Various pre-existing elements featured in the film including ephemera frommusic, magazines, commercial culture, and design. • Archival promotional material from the BFI on not only The Shining, but otherfilms discussed within it.
