Laugh of the Day: Shining Trailer Parody

Shining Comedy

If you ever wondered how Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining might work as a comedy, look no further than this parody movie trailer. Posted awhile ago on YouTube by jlgpyv1, the trailer of the film starring Jack Nicholson never fails to make me laugh.

Among other things, the lead up and then the start of Peter Gabriel’s oft-used “Solsbury Hill” is genius. Check out the trailer for the light comedy, Shining, a movie about a boy who wants to spend more time with his dad.
