How would you actually survive winter at the Overlook? Optionally, let's say you can bring two anons with you, if you think this will keep you sane/safe (for example someone can keep watch). Let's say you all know what you're getting into immediately, you know it's haunted as frick, but you don't have access to specific information about the happenings of The Shining. Let's say Jack killed his family ten years ago and they're part of the ghosts haunting the place too.
What could you even do to survive, if you had this much foreknowledge? Would the hotel be powerless against you / your friends because you already know and are prepared? Or can it ramp up its assaults to more direct ones, can it just send ghosts to fricking kill you if it doesn't want to go the slow route? How "conscious" is the hotel, how conscious are the ghosts?
Would it be possible to hole up in the least haunted part of the hotel and just chill there? Maybe just live in the freezer and poop in the hallway. Then again, imagine every time you go out to poop, the ghosts are there staring at you angrily because you're not making their job easy.
Please someone respond, I'm having fun speculating about this and feeling childlike joy again and I want to share it with my friends instead of going back to making a spreadsheet

I don't think the hotel can actually cause you any harm beyond psychological. In that case you'd probably be better off staying there alone than having two other people driven mad and trying to kill you. If you can keep your wits about you somehow you'll be fine.
>let's say you can bring two anons with you
No that's gay. You're not invited. >Would the hotel be powerless against you
Yeah I'm just not going to believe in ghosts is all.
I don't think there is a way to make it, even if you are prepared. I don't remember if the Overlook ghosts are ever shown directly, physically interacting with living people, but I think it would be your mind that would betray you, and the presense of your friends might actually make the things worse.
I would just go alone and bring a laptop. Whenever the ghosts want to make me go crazy Id just vent my frustrations by shitposting and jerking off to gore.
Only ever stay together, bring as much media/entertainment as possible, and try too spend as much time as possible outside. If it comes down to it, we will use gay threeways to survive. Shouldn't be too hard, the ghosts prey on those who are alone and gay sex will ward off most(not all, ie bear man) attempts to seduce us. The outside is safer as well from ghosts, but we will inevitably need some time indoors to do maintenance, eat, sleep, survive, etc. By only staying together and fricking each other we will stave off boredom and ghosts
Remember: the original post allowed foresight and previous knowledge of the hotel being haunted and seeing The Shining. They would already know the ghosts are real and that gay sex is our only method of survival
What if the hotel made you have a nice day?
Without the haunted aspect, I would love to get snowed in at a huge hotel over a winter and have no responsibilities but to maintain the place. Are there jobs like this IRL?
If you are staying with in-story themes the ghosts wouldn't touch you if you weren't a psychic. You would just feel uneasy around them but never directly interact.
And if you even were psychic like Dick Hallorann but mentally balanced the ghosts wouldn't really have a way to get to you.
So the obvious solution would be to just stay as psychologically balanced as possible and make sure you weren't a mentally fragile psychic alcoholic before going.

oh, huh, interesting
I went in an excellent record store the other day and they had a Polish music CD containing "Utrenja". It was the exact recording of the "scary noises" at the end of the movie, in perfect CD quality. I was really super happy to get it, and cheap!
The complete work "Utrenja" itself is a religious/operatic/choral work, intended to depict the Passion of the Christ. So there's normal sounding choral stuff, dismal/dirge choral stuff, and scary stuff too. The stuff we hear in the the movie is the jump scare scary stuff. Penderecki is pretty scary in general, it's just how he is.
i went there and was pissed when i found out the exterior and interior are two different places
You are literally moronic. Kubrick didn't set foot in the US after 1969.
why would i know that homosexual
what? why?
he was on the moon
fear of flying
If there is internet and booze, yeah
>No TV and no beer make homer something something
no suck and frick
Here's that perfectionist director I was telling you about
it's a metaphor
Helicopters le exist in the Shining universe???
immersion: broken
If I can drink alcohol and play ball in the hall and drive that snowcat thing
There's no booze tho
maybe there is some ingredients in the food store you could make some booze with
It doesn't take much
?si=hnVW7U2HyqIRUBOz
ants coming in nicely toobs
Basically everything with good sugar content in it. Oranges and socks will do.
Jesus christ how horrifying. Luckily Kvass is easy to make so I only have to be sober for a couple weeks
>spending a winter with a bunch of racist ghosts and a pantry full of Oreos and ice-cream
with Shelley? absolutely
Brush my teeth and swallow my eyeballs
holy cuteoly
Throat goat for sure.
Legit my only condition.
Shelley Duvall is the textbook definition of Ugly Hot. She's sexy as frick, but she's also weird as frick looking.
does the same thing work in reverse, are women attracted to steve buscemi?

could you talk to the ghosts, would they just not appear because they know you're too fricking boring to kill your wife and son
Yes.

>Yeah I'm just not going to believe in ghosts is all.
What if the ghosts won't believe in you?
Then we're mutually agreed. I don't see the problem.
If they don't believe in you then you don't exist.
Works for me.
thats faeries not ghosts

Apparently my apartment building is haunted built on the site of an old loonybin but the ghosts never bother me so I'd assume we'd all be cool
ghosts aren't real dipshit

What? Why???
>Who's really haunting who here
sides demolished, send help
sure, sounds cozy
Yeah it's comfy. The spirits just add to the atmosphere.
The vanishing maze. Where is it? Bravo Hackson
>supernatural ghost hotel does supernatural things
woah......
why not, i can live forever and bone some of the hot 1920's b***hes in the photo
have sex with the naked blonde lady all day all winter
>ghosts aren't real dipshit
Why is it even closed in winter? That mountain looks perfect for skiing.
Snowplows hadn't been invented yet
it literally is a ski resort irl
I prefer it in the summer tbqh
What's the difference? Isn't it snowy year round up there?
no it's pleasantly warm in the summer, warm enough for there to be big floods
It says it's an all year ski resort, but maybe that change in recent times thanks to climate change,
A lot of resorts still have some lifts open in the summer so you can hike
hike, bike, go on the lake. mountain towns are nice in the summer because they aren't as loaded with tourists
what do you even do in the summer if not ski?
they were trying to flatten the curve
I'd pack some nice winter clothes and build a giant snowfort.
>Live an hour and a half from the Stanley Hotel

>The Stanley Hotel has nothing to do with the movie, only the book
oh, huh, interesting
I live 35 mins from it, i go there and grab a drink sometimes. comfy
Drinks are great, the food is shit
hell yeah, the scene where Jack throws the bouncy ball off the wall repeatedly is something I could do for hours at a time, it would be peak comfy
Have dinner convo with the bear suit guy? Sure. If that 1920s group pic exists, what happens if you cut out the eyes on all the guests?
I mean, if it doesn't cost me money, then Heck yeah. I'm huge on mountains.
>6 months of living in a mansion and fricking shelley duvall?
Sounds rough, Id probably go insane

I don't even clean my own house within 6 months. How am I supposed to maintain a huge hotel by myself?
I would unlock its secrets and use its dark power for my own purposes.
I would simply go enjoy a winter with my family and not go insane
I would take the VW Bug apart and reassemble it in some random room for a maid to find. Keep your mind busy, idle hands . . .
