In 1980, horror fans were treated with a visually stunning, eerie nightmare with The Shining. For this article, I felt like picking a modern cast that I feel would be perfect if The Shining was made today! I hope you enjoy and let me know who you would cast! (REMINDER: this is just hypothetical fun! I love and respect everyone mentioned, and this series isn’t meant to tear anyone down or be disrespectful!!!)
