![]() But even for accomplished industry veterans, the task of making a terrifying, but still TV-friendly nude ghost was no small undertaking for the team involved. Unlike many popular contemporary horror series, the team didn't have the creative freedom of cable’s lack of content restrictions, and ended up using layer after layer of Saran Wrap and KY Jelly, alternating between each to create a gruesome texture and applying milky and purple tones throughout to create a mottled appearance. The exemplary makeup effects featured in The Shining miniseries were achieved by a team of legendary makeup artists including Ve Neill, Joel Harlow, and Bill Corso, who won a well-deserved Emmy for Outstanding Makeup. It can also be seen in Hill House episode 10’s Poppy Hill, the insane flapper whose empty eyes and unsettling grin make her a dead ringer for Lorraine Massey, the miniseries’ inhabitant of Room 217. This influence can be specifically be seen in the ghosts that appear throughout director Mike Flanagan's Netflix hit The Haunting of Hill House, particularly episode 6’s bed-bound elderly woman. The design used in Garris' miniseries, with empty white eyes reminiscent of the Evil Dead series’ Deadites and uneven green-white pallor, has gone on to influence the design of countless ghosts and demons in movies and TV shows since its release. There’s a reason Kubrick opted for a different sort of ghost, but there’s no getting around just how effective the ghosts in Garris’ adaptation are. The scene where Danny sees the decaying, grinning body in the bathtub is more viscerally scary than the foreboding, but less scary and more strange equivalent scene in Kubrick’s film, and it's thanks to more convincing makeup effects in Garris’ miniseries. The makeup effects used for the Overlook's ghosts - particularly the lady in Room 217 - throughout The Shining miniseries are far more effective than those utilized in Kubrick's film. In this area, there’s an interesting reason behind the different approaches taken by the miniseries and the more critically acclaimed Kubrick movie. Still, there is one area where The Shining miniseries outclasses Kubrick's movie. The miniseries also didn't have a big enough budget to realize some of the more ambitious scenes lifted from the novel, with the hilarious CGI topiaries being a particularly notable misstep. Unfortunately, that’s not necessarily a good thing, as The Shining's languid pacing translates to being slow and even boring in the miniseries. ![]() King saw the '90s miniseries as an opportunity to adapt The Shining the way he envisioned it, and to its credit, the small screen version does hew far closer to his novel. ![]() Related: How Stephen King's IT Influenced A Stranger Things Villain King famously hated the film and its critical success, although he’s softened up in recent years.
