I’m in the It zone. Oh wow, I just realized I’ve watched this twice in one week.
I had such a great time watching this at The Vista yesterday. I was determined to remain drunk during the entire 4 hours plus running time which required a steady stream of whiskey shots. I ended up barfing a few hours after the screening. I regret nothing.
This miniseries scared the living shit out of me when I was a kid, and although the Kubrick film is one of my favorite movies of all time, I still hold a place in my heart for this version. The scene where Danny comes across the ghost in the bathtub in Room 217 literally traumatized me when I saw it during its original run. It was the scariest thing I had ever seen at age 14.
