Description
On Halloween, let's delve into a fascinating behind-the-scenes crossover in movie history. While Stanley Kubrick's The Shining was filming at Elstree Studios, The Muppet Show was also there, leading to remarkable interactions. Richard Hunt, a Muppet performer, befriended The Shining cast, including Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd, who even got a personal Muppet tour. These meetings provided a welcome respite for Duvall and Lloyd, and the Muppets even made it into Stephen King's original novel. This unique crossover offers a delightful contrast between the spooky horror of The Shining and the goofy antics of the Muppets.
