Most know Stephen King as today’s most revered horror author, the expert conjurer of the kinds of macabre souls that are embedded in our nightmares — the killer clown Pennywise from “It,” the all-work-and-no-play Jack Torrance from “The Shining” and the wackadoodle fan Annie Wilkes from “Misery.”

With 45 years gone since it first released, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining definitely remains a horror classic, in spite of its adaptation problems.

In ‘The Life of Chuck,’ we understand that this guy’s life is cut short, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t experience joy,” says King.
