The Shining is an American supernatural horror media franchise that originated from the 1977 novel of the same name by Stephen King. The novel was later adapted into a 1980 film and a 1997 television miniseries. King later wrote a 2013 sequel novel, Doctor Sleep, which was adapted to film in 2019.
The franchise revolves around the Torrance family as they experience the effects of supernatural entities and a mystical psychic power known as "the shining", an ability that allows a person to read minds, communicate telepathically and see horrific visions of the past and future.
