Jim Carrey’s roles helped to define comedy in the 1990s in a way that is still felt today. While he’s famous for his comedic works, the actor has also dabbled in more dramatic, and weirder, roles than he’s known for. That said, even with his sprawling resume, no one could have guessed his career would tie Dumb and Dumber to one of the most famous Stephen King films, The Shining, and its real-life location, The Stanley Hotel.The Shining follows Jack Torrance, a writer suffering from writer’s block, who is hired as winter caretaker of the remote Overlook Hotel while he writes his book. Taking his wife and son to the secluded location in the Rocky Mountains, they stay at the hotel as a snowstorm barrels through. But the longer they remain, the more supernatural events occur that turn their family upside down and, eventually, pit Jack against the people he loves most. From its visuals to its performances, The Shining is a bona fide classic and even draws inspiration from one of King’s own experiences while staying at The Stanley Hotel, in Estes Park, Colorado, the inspiration for The Overlook.Updated on October 12, 2023 by Katie Doll: The Stanley Hotel is one of the most famous haunted sites in America, which in turn has made it one of the biggest tourist attractions.
