Kubrick really did a number with his interpretation of the Shining, and I'm pretty sure SK never approved f the final product.
With that said, even as a fan of SK, I think the film is way superior to the book
But to add to the topic: Killer clowns from outer Space, the American remake of "the Ring", tale of two sisters, Zombie, night of the living dead, and John Carpenter's "the thing"

I have read a lot of Stephen King but I wasn't able to get through "the Shining"
 but I have never seen the movie so I don't know how they compare
I did however visit the hotel which was pretty sweet
the Ring is one of my favorite horror movies
but the Ring 2 was pretty disappointing but it did have a few good moments

The Ring?! PG13 horror movies don't count!
There's an apartment complex next to where I live called The Overlook. I always thought that was creepy.

The Thing is a pretty good one, very atmospheric. Killer Klowns is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, so is They Live.

I disagree
a truly good horror movie can instill a deep unsettling feeling without relying on buckets of gore, graphic violence, and other shock tactics.

Well yeah I agree but I just never liked The Ring. I didn't like The Grudge either... Ju-On was good though.

I'm not going to be completely elitist but I did really like the first Saw. Some of the others have been hit or miss. I like pt2 but didn't like 3 didn't really like 6 either.

I hated the grudge
in general I don't like movies that rely on what I call "fun house scares"
(the kind of stuff that pops out at you)
