Talk:The Shining (1980)/@comment-50.5.87.37-20160209154454

The Simpsons cartoon did a spoof remake with Homer Simpson going mad and trying to kill his family-with Mr Burns and Smithers staring as the Hotel Owners; Willy the groundskeeper who befriends Bart but who is killed by Maggie Simpson who talks; at the end Homer doesnt kill his family-but they all end up freezing to death outside! The Cartoon network had a cartoon spoof comerical in which Mr Jinks the cat is riding a trycicle down a hotel hallway and is confronted by the ghosts of Pixie and Dixie meeces who keeping asking Jinks to "Play with them"! The 1908 Movie differed from the Book in having Jack Torrance kill the cook Halloran and then instead of being killed again when the hotel blows up-Torrance freezes to death while his wife and son escape! Ironically if the movie had followed the book-as was done in the Mini series-in which Torrance doesnt kill his wife and child but is killed again when the Hotel does explode-the movie would have been much more satisfying to Stephen King fans ho were
