I liked KH as a kid but it hasn't aged that well (the King self-insert is incredibly cringy at times) and watching Riget made me realize how much they dropped the ball.
I did like Antubis though.

Love the 'book cover' concept they went with.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced today that The Shining, Stanley Kubrick’s terrifying 1980 horror masterpiece, will be released on Ultra HD Blu-ray and Digital on October 1. The 4K remastering is of Kubrick’s original 146 minute version of the film which premiered in the United States on May 23rd, 1980.
Now widely regarded as one of the greatest horror films ever made, The Shining was directed and produced by Kubrick, who wrote the screenplay with Diane Johnson. The film was based on the novel “The Shining” by Stephen King, and stars Jack Nicholson in an iconic role as Jack Torrance, Shelley Duval as Wendy Torrance, Scatman Crothers as Dick Halloran, and Danny Lloyd as Danny Torrance.
The 4K remastering was done using a new 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative at Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging. Filmmaker Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick’s former personal assistant Leon Vitali worked closely with the team at Warner Bros. during the mastering process.
On May 17th, the restored 4K version of the film will be screened at The Cannes Film Festival.
In 2018, The Shining was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” The film ranked 29th on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Thrills list, and Jack Torrance was named the 25th greatest villain on the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Heroes and Villains list. Additionally, the quote “Here’s Johnny” from the film was ranked 68th on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movie Quotes list.
Ultra HD* showcases 4K resolution with High Dynamic Range (HDR) and a wider color spectrum, offering consumers brighter, deeper, more lifelike colors for a home entertainment viewing experience like never before.

FANTASTIC ART! Would love to have that poster!
Shit is shit. Even in 4K.
That's a pretty hot take on a classic horror movie. It's almost exclusive to King's fans.
As a King fan, I don't share it. I think Stephen's off his rocker on that one. It's one of the best films of the 1980s.
I love the book, the TV series, and the Movie
Yes, yes, yes and yes to your final statement. Sometimes things are better left in their original state, warts and all.
Seems like this version will include the ending that was cut by Stanley Kubrick after the premiere !

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray Rob Reiner's film Stand by Me 4K (1986), starring Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, and Kiefer Sutherland. The release will be available for purchase on August 27.
Synopsis: In a small woodsy Oregon town, a group of friends — sensitive Gordie (Wil Wheaton), tough guy Chris (River Phoenix), flamboyant Teddy (Corey Feldman), and scaredy-cat Vern (Jerry O'Connell) — are in search of a missing teenager's body. Wanting to be heroes in each other's and their hometown's eyes, they set out on an unforgettable two-day trek that turns into an odyssey of self-discovery. They sneak smokes, tell tall tales, cuss 'cause it's cool and band together when the going gets tough. When they encounter the town's knife-wielding hoods who are also after the body, the boys discover a strength they never knew they had. STAND BY ME is a rare and special film about friendship and the indelible experiences of growing up. Filled with humor and suspense, STAND BY ME is based on the novella 'The Body' by Stephen King.

Now there's a good movie.
Yep. I'll be picking that one up.
Yea, That' one to get.
"The 4K remastering is of Kubrick's original 144 minute version of the film which premiered in the United States on May 23rd, 1980."
Ah yes... makes more sense, although it would be cool to have it in the bonuses
Shawshank would probably take that title. Although, Stand By Me is a huge personal favorite. I was thirteen when it was released so it really hit home.
