The Shining

The Shining is a horror classic adapted from the Stephen King novel of the same name. The Stanley Kubrick film was actually not so beloved by King, who also was angry about the poor filming conditions for the cast and crew. Shelley Duvall even said that it was “almost unbearable,” and that makes sense, considering they sometimes had to film the same scene for more than 127 times.

Peeping Tom

Peeping Tom by director Michael Powell tells the story of the Peeping Tom named Mark Lewis, who films and stalks women until he senselessly murders them. When it was released in 1960, it was very controversial due to the violence and sexual taboos portrayed in the film and in the novel it was based on.
