The Story Behind The Shinning!

 What is the true story behind this scary movie, how is it actually based on true events? let's find out


So this movie is based on one of the famous horror writers is Stephen King, he was very famous for his writings about books that turn into a movie after all, so who did Stephen actually get his inspiration from?

As that book by Stephan king was based on his experience in the Stanley hotel in 1977, this novel inspired the writer to make another sequel to the book, and a sequel to the movie as well, the movie is called "Docter Sleep. This movie made this hotel very known with its carpet and location as it became a very famous landmark in the country. 

In 1974, Stephen and his wife went to the Stanley Hotel in colorado which at this time the hotel was isolated as they checked in before the lockdown of the winter as they are the only guests in the big famous hotel, Stephen felt weird being in this hotel all alone with his wife, as there is a strange feeling around this hotel while going around Stephen felt inspired to write about this hotel but horror novel as the long corridors and how this hotel is isolated inspired him to write. 



The hotel was built in 1909 and has been famous for the paranormal activities that happen there which is the reason it became so famous even more after this novel, it attracted all the people who love horror stories and paranormal investigators. There is a famous room that all people love to book which is room 142  made for only wealthy vacationers.

The writer and his wife stayed in room 217 which was one of the most hunted rooms because it involved the chief housekeeper as her name is Elizabeth Wilson, she was hurt by a near explosion that happened due to a lighting lantern as claimed by the writer that she still wonders around the room movies clothes and bags, the writer also claimed to see a young boy going to his rooms as there wasn't any confirmed guest expect them in the hotel.

So the director of the movie doesn't suit what the novel stated or Stephen's vision of what he saw, he included things that aren't true and changed the story a bit, like for example, he changed the room from 217 to 237, added the hedge maze at the front of the property, Due to King's displeasure of Kubrick's adaptation, the author made his own TV miniseries based on the novel in 1997, because of the shinning the hotel hosted tours and hunting experience for people to join and see what Stephen King saw in this hotel.

5 Inventions that were done by Women!

 What's Happening?  Top inventions that were made by women changed the world, let's praise them! 1. Medical syringe to be honest, I never knew that who did the syringe and always had no information about women doing any inventions I don't know why but this invention was done by Letitia Geer and was done in 1899, as they did the syringe that required two hands to do the injections correctly without resulting any harm, so basically, she invented the syringe that required only one hand that all medical practices use it now! "Her syringe design includes a cylinder, piston rod, a handle, and nozzle. The piston rod had a U-shaped handle for easier grip. The handle was designed in a way to be reached even in extreme positions. The hook at the free end of the syringe prevented hands from slipping." As her syringe had a lot of benefits because it was cheap and can easily be used and done by only using one hand, as it's easy to use by any person, she died at the age of ...
