Inspired By THE SHINING

Jason Soy has a very interesting article posted at trendhunter.com titled, "15 Sinister 'The Shining' Inspirations (From Baby Blockbuster Parodies to Neon Film Posters)"

Soy looks at some of the many ways Kubrick's film The Shining has inspired others.

He writes: "Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’ is a film that has rightfully become a pop culture staple, so it comes as no surprise that the horror movie has inspired a myriad of tributes and products. From baby photographs re-enacting scenes from the cinematic masterpiece to coat hangers shaped like Jack Torrance’s infamous axe, people seem to be endeared by ‘The Shining’ and want to show their appreciation for the Stephen King story in any manner they can."

A few of my favorites are:

• Abstract Neon Portraits.  
• Will Wonka: "Frank Film Memes The Slightly Skewed Movie Descriptions are Actually Quite Accurate."  The film description is: "An Eccentric Millionaire lures kids to his factory and kills them."
• Memorable Movie Minimalism: "Ben Whitesell Captures the Spirit of Films with Simple Graphics"
• Baby Blockbuster Parodies: "‘Arthur Recreates Scenes From Classic Movies’ is an Adorable"
• Violent Coat Hangers: "The Regnah Hanger Will Have You Saying 'Redrum'"
• Pop Culture Digistrations: "These Jan Folgmann Artworks Reinvent the Familiar in Exciting New Ways"
• Recreating Classic Films With Robots: "The Shining with a WowWee Tribot"  (Spock would say, Fascinating, Captain.")
• Movie Scene Time-Tellers: "The Shining Cuckoo Clock by Chris Dimino is Iconic."  (Imagine having this in your house!  Put it in the guest room!)
• Film Icon Animations: "Martin Woutisseth's Animated Stanley Kubrick Movie Posters are Brilliant"
