Scary Places, Real Stories

Most of my friends know that I am not a huge fan of horror films, except for one. I have seen Stanley Kubrick's The Shining more than a few times, so when Salome sent me to the Real Places, Scary Stories gallery from the Smithsonian I was happy to break out of our hiatus and head back to the studio for episode 10 of our I Have To Tell You Something podcast.

This week, we steal a line from Cohen : I remember you well, at The Stanley Hotel - a real hotel tucked away in Estes, Colorado that inspired Stephen King to write The Shining.

Episode notes:

• I have heard that the The Stanley Hotel is often confused with the Disney Floridian.
• Aporkaplypse: is it real or imagined? Some of us just won't risk it! 
• The Exorcist Stairs are odd enough by themselves, but apparently they are also a pop culture icon.
• I think Lovecraft was ahead of us on to the whole domestication of the undead idea. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
• For those of you unfamiliar with the Salome-Grace collaboration entitled Plain Jane and Proud Elizabeth, have a listen.
