I Can’t Sleep and This Movie Didn’t Help

I think we've all had those restless nights.  You know, when you wake up in the middle of the night.  You toss and turn and just lay there awake thinking of too much crap.

I ran into this, and I thought turning on the TV would help me zone out and fall back asleep.  The idea backfired on this night, as I turned on a movie about guy who goes off the deep end in one of the creepiest movies ever created.

I'm talking about The Shining with Jack Nicholson!  It's the story about frustrated writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) who takes a job as the winter caretaker at the ominous, mountain-locked Overlook Hotel, so that he can write in peace. When he arrives there with his wife and son, they learn that the previous caretaker had gone mad. Slowly Jack becomes possessed by the evil, demonic presence in the hotel.

Yeah, how about that for a movie when you're driving yourself mad for not being able to sleep in the middle of the night.

If you haven't seen this 1980 flick, you should check it out.  Below is the movie trailer.
