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.
It took a crew of around 60 people about a month and a half to complete the maze. It was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film 'The Shining,' which is based on a Stephen King novel of the same name. King wrote the book after an experience at the Stanley Hotel.he Estes Park landmark never actually had a maze and Kubrick never actually filmed The Shining at the Stanley, opting for other locations and soundstages instead. The maze is not featured in King's original novel. The hedge maze is comprised of 820 Juniper bushes that will grow to be about 5 feet tall.
