Wait what? I love Kubrick and The Shining and have heard a lot about the behind the scenes drama, but never heard of Kubrick harassing King? Can you expand on that?
King generally doesn't understand what makes a good movie, he seems to resent filmmakers when they cut something out of the film that was in the book. Remember he approved of the pile of shit Shining miniseries because it was 'faithful'. He doesn't seem to understand that some things that work in a book won't work in a movie, Kubrick did understand that hence why he removed a lot of the more over the top stuff like plant monsters and shit.
Also full disclosure I'm not a fan of King as a writer, I don't like his writing style, comes off as a smart aleck during a lot of his narration and can be long winded.
Apparently he would call King up at like 2 am and shit. And berated him when they disagreed on something.

Oh, haha. Yeah, sounds like Kubrick being Kubrick.

Not to me, loser. You’re such an idiot. Quit crying.

Surprised King hasn't harassed Andrés Muschietti since he left out the sewer sex scene for the recent IT adaption.

Same here. The Shining was one of the few novels I could stomach by him.

It's too bad because he can come up with very cool and interesting ideas, but the way he presents them just isn't really for me.

I think the movie is going to impress everybody because the movie "The Shining" was gained so much popularity very quickly, that's why they are making the sequel of it.

Apparently Jack Torrance shows up in the book as a ghost, Wonder if that'll make it to the film adaptation.
