** Imagine you have a parent who's been struggling with addiction and anger issues. They love you and you love them, and they really have been trying to beat their problems for themselves and for you. Then something happens and they snap right back to how they used to be. They frighten you, you're not safe around them, and you can't trust them not to hurt you. And there's no solution to the problem anymore. Even without the supernatural trigger, it's a disturbingly realistic situation.

* Tony in the film. In the book, he's Danny from the future, but the movie never divulges who or what he is. We're left with nothing but his insistence that he doesn't want Danny to talk about his Shining, Danny's tenacious avoidance in describing Tony in great detail, and the ominous and vague mentions that Tony tells Danny to "do things."

* Jack's behaviour when he comes back from Room 237. There's none of the palpable resentment below the surface of all his interactions with his family up to now, no creeping influence of the hotel driving crazy, or even the vaguely "wrong" quality he gives off in the interview scene -- it's so mannered, so uncharacteristically gentle, so obviously artificial, as if something were trying its hardest to imitate a good, reassuring husband and keep Wendy and Danny feeling nice and safe [[AxeCrazy with him]] ... And then the sheer ''rage'' that starts pouring out as soon as Wendy insists they leave the hotel, with the sense that every bit of it is coming purely from Jack.

* Who wouldn't be terrified by that scene where Jack Nicholson goes absolutely insane?
* The point where Wendy, finally able to see the ghosts, runs into Grady with his skull visibly split.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmOoekbK6YI This]] lovely moment. Wendy, half-insane after her husband trying to kill her and all the other crazy shit she's seen that night, stumbles upon a dude in a bear suit blowing a well-dressed middle-aged man. And that horribly spooky music just sends chills of me spine. If you walked in on that couple in real life, living or ghosts, and they gave you that look, like ''you'' were the depraved one, chances are you would run the fuck outta there. Not to mention, in the book the man in the dog/bear suit is wearing said suit and performing the favor because the man in the tuxedo manipulated and broke him through psychological abuse.
* The encounter with the woman in Room 237 [[spoiler:who turns out to be dead and decaying... after Jack lustily embraces her]].
* Hell, the basic premise that someone you love and trust could go batshit insane and try to kill you is damned freaky enough on its own without all the ghostly trappings...
* "Come play with us, Danny. Forever. And ever. ''And ever.''" (That you can't quite see ''what'' their dead bodies look like makes it worse.)
* Shelley Duvall in and of herself is pretty freaking scary. Shelley Duvall contorting her face in terror? Almost unbearable. Probably because Duvall was probably ''not'' acting. Kubrick worked on making her as unnerved and on-edge as possible while filming the movie.
* Scatman Crothers spends the entire movie traveling across the country to investigate ''a hunch''. [[spoiler: He gets an axe in the chest as soon as he walks in the door]]. Try watching this movie as a ten-year-old...
** Even worse, StanleyKubrick, being an obsessed perfectionist, had Nicholson & Crothers shoot the scene ''42 times''. Crothers eventually broke down, sobbing his eyes out, and screamed at Kubrick, "WHAT DO YOU ''WANT'' FROM ME?!?!"
* The music, ''especially'' the opening theme. You know you have one ''hell'' of a scary ride ahead when just the ''opening theme'' makes you want to watch this with the lights on.
** Hector Berlioz' "Dies Irae" from "Symphonie Fantastique", electronicized by Wendy Carlos.
** The native American chanting and/or screaming in certain scenes (like when Wendy runs up the stairs just before stumbling upon Dogsuit Man and Derwent), and the weird ululating noises in the opening scene.
* The novel was scary in its own right, especially those moving topiary animals and Jack being haunted by his father.
* And, of course, at the end of it all, when all of a sudden, the face of Jack [[spoiler: completely frozen with a terrifying grim face, eyes completely open and dead, and teeth out.]] The music makes it all worse, as its one hell of a ScareChord coming from out of nowhere, along the image. Just when you thought it all ended, the movie just won't let you go without a last laugh.
