This trope is actually far OlderThanTheyThink--the scene itself is a ShoutOut to one from the 1921 silent film ''Film/ThePhantomCarriage'', where the main character does the same to get at his family, while Jack's catchphrase (which [[ThrowItIn wasn't even in the script]]) is actually one to Ed [=McMahon=], the announcer of television {{Long Runner|s}} ''Series/TheTonightShow'' who would introduce host Creator/JohnnyCarson with a very drawn-out "Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!" since the very first episode in 1962. While the catchphrase was very famous in television history at the time, it wasn't until ''The Shining'' that the public conscience forever associated it with the AxCrazy Jack Torrance, followed by many future works referencing or spoofing his famous scene to the point of becoming a {{Stock Parod|ies}}y in its own right.

A common trope in tension-inducing scenes is the classic AxeBeforeEntering, where a character breaks down a door with a weapon, usually an axe, in order to get to the victim cowering behind. Then came its TropeCodifier, ''Film/TheShining'', known for one of its most iconic scenes where a crazed Jack Torrance, played by Creator/JackNicholson, hacks apart the bathroom door with an axe, behind which his wife hides.

This trope is actually far OlderThanTheyThink--the scene itself is a ShoutOut to one from the 1921 silent film ''Film/ThePhantomCarriage'', where the main character does the same to get at his family, while Jack's catchphrase is actually one to Ed [=McMahon=], the announcer of television LongRunner ''Series/TheTonightShow'' who would introduce host Creator/JohnnyCarson with a very drawn-out "Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!" since the very first episode in 1962. While the catchphrase was very famous in television history at the time, it wasn't until ''The Shining'' that the public conscience forever associated it with the AxeCrazy Jack Torrance, followed by many future works referencing or spoofing his famous scene to the point of becoming a StockParody in its own right.

Most homages consist of a character reenacting the scene by breaking down a door, wall, or some other barrier, or/after which they peek from behind the door or hole, and say Jack Torrance's iconic line or some variation of "Here's <Proper Noun> --y/ie!", usually with a SlasherSmile.
