These different trailers for Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining<\/a><\/strong> (1980) give an interesting glimpse of how different eras perceive a film.<\/p>\n

After the commercial disappointment<\/a> of Barry Lyndon (1975), Kubrick wanted to do something with a bit more box office potential.<\/p>\n

An adaptation of a Stephen King novel<\/a> with a big star (Jack Nicholson) seemed to be a way of combining his interests as a director with the opportunity for a hit movie.<\/p>\n

As it turned out the end result was met with a lukewarm critical reaction and modest box office<\/a> before gradually establishing itself as a classic over time.<\/p>\n

We can see part of this journey in how The Shining has been depicted in various trailers down the years.<\/p>\n

Before the original US release in May 1980 there was this creepy teaser, which used the now famous image of blood coming out of an elevator.<\/p>\n
