Update: The Shining will also return to U.S. theaters nationwide on October 23 and October 26 through Fathom Events.

Those in the U.K. were recently lucky enough to experience Barry Lyndon on the big screen and now another Stanley Kubrick masterpiece will be coming their way just in time for Halloween. The Shining, his adaptation of Stephen King‘s novel, will arrive on October 28 in select U.K. theaters and ahead of the release, they’ve released a new haunting trailer.

The release will be from a new digital transfer by Warner Bros. and, unlike the original European release, this one will be the U.S. version, which clocks in at 144 minutes, a full 24 minutes longer than what audiences in the country saw back in 1980. This new trailer, which mixes the voice-over of “Red Rum” with some lines from Jack Nicholson‘s character, expertly ratchets up the tension.

Check it out below and watch a documentary on the making of the film here.
