For some reason my mind strayed to one of my favorite thrillers "The Shining".  YouTube has a great video performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra.  One of the many interesting parts of this performance is the timpanist striking actual bells.  Continuing my exploration I came across this - Kubrick as Architect.

Aside from the maze, which is another concept entirely, there is a certain fascination to be had with the architecture of the building particularly in how Kubrick renders it.  But this article points to some of the fascinating architectural elements and how they relate to the story and its characters. 

"Kubrick attributes to the staircase.....a function which is not only architectural, but also figuratively and narratively pivotal."

Read the article, watch the movie again.
