Just asking, because the actor seems miscast.

It was unusual horror as Kubrick saw it. It wasn’t exactly raw and gritty terror.
Apparently Kubrick liked Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre - ‘74, which is a raw as they get.

Couldn’t stand CCM.
You mean TCM? Watching it has never been easy. I feel the same way during The Shining's opening then it gets a little better. Compared to the Texas heat and cannibals vs being snowed in during the winter with an axe wielding Jack Nicolson?

Yes, autocorrect did that.
Shining does start slow, but it’s a gradual entry into the horror. I liked how it got in your head.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating. -

I aint seen the film but after googlin " Delbert Grady " I see a guy in a butler outfit, Shinning takes place in a hotel right? so there ya go.
British accent = classy and therefore good for butler/service characters. In fact it often happens in Yank TV shows and Movies.
Tim Currie in Home alone 2, Jeffrey in Fresh Prince of Bellend, Alfred Pennyworth in Batman ect….
You should know this already, knob cheese, or at least be able to figure it out. You disgust me. -

Grady was a caretaker at The Overlook, that killed his wife and daughters.
He was dressed as a butler in the film as a ghostly image as Jack was at the bar. He spilled liquor on Jack and they went into the bathroom so Grady could clean it up.

Why did Grady have an English accent?
