Many years later at a fan Q&A.  King related a conversation he had with Kubrick before filming. King was having a morning shave when his wife told him Kubrick was on the phone. Kubrick asked King that all Ghost stories had to optimistic because they assumed that there had to be an afterlife to which King responded with 'what about Hell?' Kubrick then replied 'I don't believe in Hell'.
