    I've never seen this movie. but this seems like a cool event if you're in PDX.

    You've never seen The Shining?? It's one of the great horror classics.

    That said, I don't see how this event is going to replicate the 1920's ball in the movie, since all of those interior scenes were shot on a sound stage in London. Timberline Lodge does not have a giant ballroom like the one in the movie, nor does it have the massive, high-ceilinged lobby like the lodge in the movie. I even doubt if Kubrick ever came to Timberline Lodge. He was known to be a bit reclusive, and more fond of England than America. Those exterior scenes of Timberline were probably shot by an assistant director.
