Stanley Screamer

One of my local Denver friends (movie buff and Stephen King enthusiast) was all over this one:

On the night of August 16th, there's going to be a free outdoor screening of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining on the grounds of the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, where King is said to have first gotten the idea for the book. It will probably be an absolute mob scene, but it might be worth checking out anyway.

It's arguable whether the Stanley Hotel (not actually being in the movie, but still well known) or the "Sleeper house" is Colorado's more famous bit of architecture... but hey, the movie screening could still be neat.

Free outdoor movie? That sounds like a hoot. It's like a drive-in without cars.
