Stephen King should get royalties

Stephen King was quoted that although he's not a fan of revisionism for its own sake, he approves of the way that this series leaves the book behind to do its own thing.

No surprise... this Hill House is essentially The Shining. I could list the many elements that are lifted from that movie, but to make this more fun for movies fans here, you tell us what you thought was 'borrowed' from The Shining. I'll check back with my own list in a day or so.

Also no surprise that the director here has been tapped to direct the sequel to The Shining.

(And, before someone jumps in to point out the obvious, yes, I'm aware that King's book owes a lot of its inspiration to Shirley Jackson's book so it's a 'snake eating its own tail thing'...)
