How 1 Scene From Doctor Sleep Helped Me Through A Dark Time

Though based on a book by horror icon Stephen King, one Doctor Sleep scene packs an emotional punch that helped me through some dark times. Acting simultaneously as an adaptation of The Shining sequel and a direct follow-up to Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 movie that diverged from King’s 1977 novel, the movie centered on Danny Torrance, now 30 years older, as he grappled with the demons of his past at the Overlook Hotel, drowning them in alcoholism. Just as he finally begins to embrace a clean life, Danny is pulled back into the dangerous realm of the supernatural to help a young girl with Shining abilities bring down a clan of vampire-like psychics called The True Knot.
