Tantalizing Vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, color and texture to a boring chicken soup. Stir diced carrots or celery into the soup to add a sweet undertone and some color. Try diced tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy taste.
All interior scenes were shot at Elstree Studios as well, and do not depict the interior of the Timberline Lodge. Kubrick was asked not to depict room #217 (featured in the book) in The Shining, because future guests at the Lodge might be afraid to stay there. So a nonexistent room, #237, was substituted in the film. Curiously and somewhat ironically, room #217 is requested more often than any other room at Timberline.
The Stanley Hotel also hosted the horror novelist Stephen King, serving as inspiration for the Overlook Hotel in his 1977 bestseller The Shining. Today, it includes a restaurant, spa, and bed-and-breakfast and provides guided tours which feature the history and alleged paranormal activity of the site.
