I've been reading Stephen King for about 40 years, and I really enjoy these stories from your "true crime" podcast perspective. It gives a fresh face to the stories I loved as a kid and still enjoy as an adult!
😊❤ me too!! Yes I remembered the name from that movie and I was like oh yeah I'm going to have to look at this! And it is so good so far I want wow I can't wait to go back to finish so let me go but it was like my phone led me to this video too!!!!! Okay got to get back to the video but God bless you I love you and Jesus loves you too 💕😘 just call out to him and say that you are a sinner and you want his help! Ask him to come into your heart and you will see some ,truly miraculous stuff!!!!🙋🤗🙏😇

if I wasn't putting a baby to sleep I would have laughed so hard at the studdering at the end but instead I wipe tears from my eyes. You have a really great podcast, you make everything feel so natural, I'm impressed
I hadn't a clue that the "Overlook" has so much infamy. I assumed that it was like any other hotel with many warm bodies, turned cold. I didn't know of any correlation, but now, I am spooked by my encounters in Colorado, that may have a deeper meaning. I am stunned by the authors' great investigation on historical fact, folklore, and willing to bring all perspectives. I am, as always, in awe and spooked! Great story- telling voice, eloquent and spell-binding!
Brilliant concept and finished piece . You are so good at bringing the scattered info spread across many novels into one story , can't wait for the next deep dive into Stephen King lore .
Can’t believe I haven’t been recommended this channel til now. First video was strange resorts: tookeys bar and grill (jerusalems lot). Since then this is my fourth or fifth video. Sad I have to clock in. You do a great job on the channel. As a constant reader for over two decades I’m so impressed and appreciative! Thank you, Stephen king’s book club!
As J. J. Abrams' "Overlook" prequel show may never happen now, this is exactly what I had hoped it would have been. Great to hear the full stories of Horace Derwent, Mrs. Massey and all the other unfortunate characters of this devilish place. 🙂 Great work! You're a great narrator. I'll likely keep coming back to this video.
You're very welcome... and thanks for watching! I had a lot of fun working on this... King sprinkles so much history throughout the novel, it was invigorating to try to organize it this way. During the "research" process I could sense how Jack must have felt when he became obsessed with the hotel.
@@stephenkingbookclub1054 I love the “story within a story” aspect of this book. Similar to the Marsten house lore in Salem’s Lot. I caught myself being as intrigued by the Overlook history as that of the Torrence family. Excellent job by the way.
A work of fiction is usually a composite of many actual places in real life, since the actual place in the fictional novel doesn’t really exist, we can all have a sense of familiarity and suspend our disbelief when we are reading a fictional novel, this is what is known as the hallmark of a good writer.
I'm just at the beginning but the Overlook and the Stanley are two different hotels. The Overlook hotel burned down the Stanley is still a working hotel.
I wouldn't have known this was a work of fiction if I hadn't already known about the hotel that was the model for the Overlook Hotel, and that that model hotel is still around.
You mean the Stanley hotel in Estes Park. This is the hotel that Steven King wrote the Shining at. There are a few pictures of the Stanley hotel in the beginning of this video. It's the hotel that is painted white. There is a couple of interior shots after the outside Stanley hotel shots that are also The Stanley. The Stanley is still operational and extremely haunted. Haunted or not it is the most amazing hotel I have ever visited and worth visiting
the Stanley Hotel hosts a horror convention every October (the ad reads "come play with us") but I've never been even though I spent 12 years in Denver! Bucket List now since back home in California. I heard a rumor that they want to put in the maze!
It did the same to me, which is intriguing. It could mean that the host is lying, and he really does stutter when he’s nervous, which calls into question how reliable he is. It could also be a hint about Jack’s shining, which he suppressed with booze, and Danny later would as well. Maybe Jack sensed something stutter-ish about the host, like that he would develop a stutter in the future. It definitely upped the severity, and the connection the host had to the Overlook, but if you think about it logically, the stutter itself isn’t scary. I think it’s very well used, regardless.
@@silverlightsinaugust2756The "host" of this video said his name was George Hatfield.. which is a character in the original novel who had a stutter when Jack first met him where he taught at school in Vermont 😊 George had a stutter, he was a student who wanted to be on the debate team, and Jack cut him from it due to his stutter, which made George angry, and not soon after, he slashed the tires on Jack's car, and Jack hit him, which caused him to get fired, which led to him getting the job at the Overlook in the book
Original format. Beautiful renderings of the "Overlook Hotel." Great narration. Have not had this much fun in a long time. Brilliant concept and very, very well done. Bravo, sir; bravo!! Looking forward to more of your work. 😀😀😀
Wonderful work, thank you so much! You clearly love Stephen King's books and know them well. I've always considered the Shining to be a nearly perfect novel, and this "podcast" narrative was a fantastic angle, love the ending, props to you! I think Stephen King would really like your channel, honestly.
Like one of Stephen King's novels, your podcast conjures a masterful work of fiction. The Stanley Hotel (on which Stephen King's "Overlook Hotel" from The Shining is based) still stands today in Estes Park, Colorado. It didn’t burn down in 1975. On the contrary, it presently offers guests very picturesque lodging in the Rockies.
I have this friend Jack and he's so into old hotels. He would love this podcast. I'll have to tell him he'll care about this podcast if he just takes my recommendation.
I can't get enough of this channel. It's kind of a treat for me, in the weekends. I hear a podcast/new story every saturday or sunday morning. You're so creative, dude. And it's nice to get in touch with Constant readers all around the world. Saludos desde Argentina!
This is awesome good sir!. The amount of detail and storytelling that went into it is wonderful. I should point out that when "The Shining" miniseries came out in 97 TV guide published a deleted chapter from the book. It involved a couple staying at the Overlook and during the night the wife is attacked by a ghost. It would have been a nice addition to this.
@@stephenkingbookclub1054 Yep thats the one! I look forward to it. You should make this a theme George Hatfeild doing true crime/paranormal style podcasts on King stories.
It's ridiculous that this video only has 744 views. It depresses me that people can get millions of views for pretending that you can hard-boil an egg in the microwave or by "pranking" people by robbing them at an ATM.
I enjoyed this one. 'The Shining' is my all-time favorite of Stephen's books, first read it when I was 11 years old. There's a great deal of lore behind it ; I dare say you could even do a few more videos on this and still have nearly endless theories, photos, scenes and additional material to further cover. Edit : By the way... you really should have left Mr. Torrance's tires alone.
I'm new to your channel and thoroughly enjoyed this video!! I am a Stephen King fan and loved the "Shining." The book was just fantastic and I was kind of disappointed when the movie came out because it just swayed away from the book and had it's own narative. I think the Overlook Hotel was absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much!!
A masterful job of using the material in a great narrative. I expected the headlights of the car would suddenly come on from across the parking lot a la ‘Christine’.
This is fantastic! Took me a minute to realize what you were doing since this is my first time seeing your content. Then i was super intrigued and ready for the ride. And you did not disappoint! Very cleverly done. I read this book right after it was published. I was in middle school at the time and ive tead it many times since. So as a long, long time fan of Stephen King. I thank you for this unexpected gift.
A handful of years ago, I lived in a small town just south of Fort Worth TX. We had a garage sale on my birthday in late April, the 22nd to be exact. Our garage sale was snowed out, in April, in Texas.
I’m a first-time viewer, but I thoroughly enjoyed this fictional documentary!! I’ve always loved reading Stephen King’s works for the very essence of this telling: he transports the reader to a place; then that place comes to life all around you-no matter where you happen to be. It’s a ‘magical’ device in his writing ability that very few authors of contemporary fiction have anymore. You’re gifted, too! This Overlook does “have a life of its own,” & the viewer goes back in memory just as if she/he had been to the old hotel in-person. I found myself ‘blaming’ Stanley Kubrick for ever making Eyes Wide Shut, & The Shining! 😈🥶 When you saw either on the big screen, you felt swallowed-up & very tiny & insignificant in the scope of events & things… Thank God for that Sidewinder Cafe! And some locals who AREN’T part of the cult! 🎩🛎 🌼🌷🦋💖🤎✌🏽 Did you ever find out what happened to Nick the piano player? (He seemed pretty shaken-up, remember?) ❓😓🫣☮️
This was and will always be my favorite thriller. Thank you so much, Mr. King, for your personal account and inspiration, or reasoning, for the Book and Film! Love you❤️
I've never really been a Stephen King fan but somehow your video got recommended to me and hoky cow what a well done production! Been binging your other videos and subscribed cuz they're just so clever and well produced, and I love the way you've taken this tiny side character and given him a really neat way to interact with the aftermath of so many stories! Very well done 👏👏👏
Thanks so much... I've grown quite attached to that tiny side character known as George Hatfield... We've got him busy working on another podcast... this one in the vicinity of Salem's Lot!
A bit random I know, but your talking about the mountain road brought this upfront in my memory. The stanly (the hotel that inspired the overlook.) when it became a hotel, would rent out these cars to take around the roads. It should go without saying they were made before they had seatbelts. you can actually see one such care on the grounds.
The Stanley is still there~ the history here is great! But Kubrick was a perfectionist at everything. Ty for sharing but remember this ultimately was one of 3-5 of King’s films to be unsurpassable.
