Poster The Shining 1980

Where was The Shining filmed

1980, Horror
Filming country: USA

According to the plot, the whole book takes place in the same Overlook Hotel, however the filming took place in two locations. They filmed all the shooting outside in one hotel - this is the film that inspired the writer - the Timberline Lodge Hotel, and all the shooting of the interior took place in the Avani Hotel located in Yosemite National Park in California. Stanley Kubrick wanted shootings to be in chronological order. With the various sets prepared for the film and the action constantly shifting from one set to another, absolutely all of the sets had to be available for filming all the time. Therefore, all the pavilions of Elstree Studios were occupied only by the scenery of The Shining. Filming began on May 1, 1978 and ended in April 1979. When the filming process was already close to its end, the studio began filming the 5th part of the Star Wars epic, The Empire Strikes Back, and the artificial snow that covered the Overlook Hotel was later used to film episodes on the planet Hoth.
