21 Everyday Places You'd Never Guess Were Used for Dark Movie Scenes

2. Timberline Lodge, Oregon, USA (The Shining, 1980)

Perched majestically on Mount Hood, Timberline Lodge is a historic ski lodge famed for its stunning alpine architecture and cozy atmosphere. Millions recognize its imposing exterior, however, as the ominous Overlook Hotel from Stanley Kubrick's chilling masterpiece, The Shining. While the interiors were shot elsewhere, the lodge's isolated, snow-bound facade became synonymous with Jack Torrance's descent into madness and supernatural horror. Visiting this beautiful, functioning lodge today carries an undeniable echo of the psychological terror it represented on film.
