QUIZ: How well do you know The Shining?

Ahead of the release of Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep, we thought we’d test your knowledge of horror classic The Shining.

You’d be hard set to find a horror movie that has had half as much of an impact as The Shining. Nearly 40 years after Stanley Kubrick’s classic was released in 1980, it’s got to be one of the most quoted movies of all time.

Plus, anyone who says they don’t get instant shivers whenever they see these twins is a downright liar…

Set 40 years after the events at The Overlook hotel, Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep picks up the story of Danny Torrance. With the legend that is Ewan McGregor stepping into the role (not sure if he’ll still be on that tricycle), Danny encounters a young girl with similar “Shining” powers to himself.

Judging by the trailer below, Danny’s story is far from over! Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep will be released in Irish cinemas on Thursday, 31 October.
