“Everybody talks about how ugly and miscast Shelley Duvall is in The Shining, but I think she was the perfect choice. I can’t imagine the movie without her.”
“Honestly, Shelly DuVall was scarier than Jack Nicholson in The Shining.”
“I watched The Shining and I just got a bit confused. They had a great setting and a few good scenes, but over all I don’t really understand how everyone loves it so much.”
“The shining has been my fave movie since I was about 3. honest to god :’) but what drives me nuts is when people say it isn’t scary, It is! (im personally not scared of it , but the story is creepy) you have to pay attention to the story, what they talk about. What they do in the movie might not necessarily be scary , but that the talk about is! uh people these days! Know what I mean? :)”
“To those who don’t understand the shining, read the book! It answers a lot of questions and King is an amazing author.”
“The scariest part of “The Shining”? The bear costume blowjob scene. Just so random & weird.”
“I wonder if my love for extreme/gory movies ever scares guys away.”
“No one in my family will ever truly understand why I love the Shining!”
“The Shining gave me an even bigger love of haunted places and hotels than I already had before I read the book and saw the movie. It’s now one of my life’s goals to stay at the Stanley Hotel for a while, which was the inspiration for the Overlook.”
“My mom showed me the hallway scene from the Shining when I was about 4 or 5 and ever since then I haven’t been able to walk down long hallways at all without being scared.”
“I like the movie for what it is and Jack Nicholson is outstanding, but I feel Stanley Kubrick completely demonized the character of Jack Torrance, compared to how he is portrayed in the book. I’m sure he did it to make the movie more horrifying but it just irks me.”
