In December 2007, Led Zeppelin became the headline act at a major concert for the first time in 27 years - this time honouring long-time friend and founder of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun, who died the previous year. The result was a more than two hour tour de force that brought the band's blues-infused rock n' roll back to the main stage at London's O2 arena.

Whipstaff's scheming owner, Carrigan Crittenden, has hired Harvey to exorcise the house's spectral inhabitants so that she can get her hands on the manor's fabled treasure. Unfortunately for Dr. Harvey, the Ghostly Trio--Fatso, Stinkie, and Stretch--have their own methods of getting rid of unwanted visitors--and a certifiably twisted sense of humor.

Most Wanted Mondays Presentation
The Shining
When: Monday, October 29, 2012 - 7:30 p.m. local time
Think of the greatest terror imaginable. Is it a monstrous alien? A lethal epidemic? Or, as in this harrowing masterpiece from Stanley Kubrick, is it fear of murder by someone who should love and protect you - a member of your own family? From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel, Kubrick melds vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre.
Cast: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall), Danny Lloyd
