[@Alicatie]

New things Addie is terrified of; Tuesdays and Wednesdays 😂 This was fun!

[@chrisleebowers]

To be fair, those are the jump scariest Tuesdays and Wednesdays in movies

[@NATIVESUNSETS65]

Don't forget to add tennis balls and loud music to the list. That Bear in the bedroom scene seemed to really creep Addie out but getting busy with Furries was a thing back in the 1920's especially for the Elite Class at these luxurious Hotels Those Masquerade Balls where on another ( Deviant )level. I don't think Addie is ready for another Kubrick Film for awhile and She's nowhere near to watching Stanley's " Eyes Wide Shut "

[@mikec3702]

😆

[@0lyge0]

She's not the first person I've seen jump at the title cards but she is the most entertaining.

[@leemcintyre9490]

LOL! I know Right!

[@J-S.P]

22:01 - "Here's Johnny" is actually a reference to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Speaker Ed McMahon would announce the lineup for the show, and then he would introduce Mr. Carson with the words "Heeeere's Johnny!"

[@Darth_Conans]

You know that shot in Saving Private Ryan where he turns into an old man in a quick fade near the end? That's how I felt reading this comment realizing that this is a reference that needs to be explaned to fully grown adults.

[@J-S.P]

@@Darth_Conans welcome to the club 😆 I was watching a reaction to Trading Places where someone used the same line, and she thought that it was in reference to The Shining....

[@88wildcat]

Really amazing how a movie with a body count of two (and one of those is the villain) can be so terrifying for so many people.

[@tooluser]

Kubrick is just a master of creating tension. The music, the tracking shots, etc.

[@thomasjensen9745]

The book only had 1 - still the scariest s***t I've ever read

[@edcliffe2988]

Depending on how the movie is analysed, the body count might actually be zero.

[@fynnthefox9078]

Because it doesn't rely on bloody gory kills to elicit fear in people.

[@NostalgiCrazy]

Em, killing isn't what Horror is all about. Psychological Horror especially.

[@Retailman100]

Between Addie and other reactors, I think The Shining has the scariest TUESDAY ever

[@edcliffe2988]

YES! Absolutely. Always. I've made similar comments on other reaction videos.

[@renedavids6154]

Hahaha, watch the Conjuring.

[@magicbrownie1357]

Addie spent most of the movie in a defensive martial arts pose. It worked, she survived.

[@hereintheyear]

I did that all during Hereditary when I first saw it

[@frenstcht]

"Here's Johnny" is how Ed McMahon introduced Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show for decades. Jack Torrence was quoting that.

[@sreif78]

AS someone recently pointed out , when Jack says "I'd sell my soul for a drink......." The Hotel was looking for someone, anyone. And the picture with Jack are all those claimed.

[@TTM9691]

Congratulations! You have this under your belt now!! You've got full bragging rights: you have seen The Shining! No one can say you haven't! :D.

[@bradleythebodycount29]

I watch like 20 different react channels and you are by far the best because you don't talk and stop the video every 2 minutes and seem genuine unlike a lot of the reactors. Please keep making more ❤

[@randalthor741]

The cinematography in this movie is incredible. Each scene is composed and shot to be subtly disorienting and unsettling so that you end up just constantly on edge the entire movie long.

[@alextan1478]

Hear, hear. The cinematography of the moving scenes comes courtesy of the Steadicam, invented by Garrett Brown in 1975.

[@BuffaloC305]

Addie, your reaction is exactly what the filmmakers wanted. COMPLETELY. If you have a chance to see this on the big-screen, in a theater setting with a big crowd, you'll be joined by the audience and it's soooo much 'better' - creepier, etc. Title Cards will make the audience jump at once, no matter how often it's been seen.

[@sca88]

'Father of the year right here'. That was pretty funny.😆

[@robertlombardo8437]

This is actually one of the few horror movies I can stand because it's not puke and guts disgusting or full of jump scares. I'm glad you decided to give it a shot. It's a genuine classic. *HEEEEERE'S ADDIE!!!*

[@iamamaniaint]

Lol "Wendy deserves so much better." What an understatement! Thanks for contributing to my Shining watch along binge!

[@baronvg]

Every time I see a thumbnail of a great and classic movie and Addie face attached to it, I get so excited that I started to beam hahaha.

[@stevetheduck1425]

This film has so much detail: just realised that Danny is so quick on his feet because of all that pedalling around and around, exploring, remembering the shape of the hotel... wow, literally didn't think of that before.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Knew the maze like the back of his hand because of exploring it with mom all the time too.

[@trolleriffic]

Notice that Danny and Wendy don't do the kind of dumb stuff that characters usually do in horror films to advance the plot. They're isolated for a good reason and Wendy tries to maintain contact with the outside world, then when Jack is chasing them she does the best she can to keep them safe including arming herself with a knife. Danny back-tracking his footprints and covering up where he went has to make him one of the smartest protagonists in a horror film.

[@ianrastall]

Tony is real. He's actually Danny as an adult, talking himself through it. His full name is Daniel Anthony Torrance.

[@Aryaba]

I've never seen someone get so scared of "Tuesday" HAHA.

[@phantom213]

Kubrick is an absolute genius. Nicholson too, Shelly is great. The child actor's performance is also one of the best performances of a child on screen I have seen. Overall it's an iconic movie, a true masterpiece of cinema.

[@MojiBeau]

I never understand why people are confused by Danny going back into the hotel to hide. It’s freezing outside, of course he went inside

[@anthonyleecollins9319]

It shows, as does the business with the footprints, that he's a smart kid.

[@nazfrde]

But then he ran back out.

[@hulkslayer626]

​@nazfrde only because he gave himself away when he yelled, because he felt the other Shiner die.

[@nazfrde]

@@hulkslayer626 Yeah, I always wondered why Dick Halloran was so clueless when he waltzed back into the hotel, right into Jack's axe blade. You'd think he would have gotten some warning from Tony.

[@trolleriffic]

@@nazfrde He does that because he's "Horror Genre Black Jesus". Halloran is sufficiently genre-savvy to know that as the only black character in the story, if anyone is going to die then he has to be the first. Without his self-sacrifice, Jack couldn't die and Wendy and Danny would have been trapped with him indefinitely.

[@gravedigger8414]

This has to be your best reaction ever. 🤣 The stress in your face, so cute. But no wonder, this movie is a cult classic for a reason. 😊

[@philippgreets]

Addie was constantly in Kung-Fu mode with these hands 😂😂😂

[@jamesbarels469]

Everybody was Kung Fu Frightening!! Jump Scares as fast as Lightning!!

[@alextan1478]

She also was in Kung-Fu mode in her reaction to The Dark Knight (2008), during the "Why so serious?" scene.

[@kieronball8962]

Awesome and understandable reactions, from the beautiful Addie. People who have never seen The Shining, fail to understand how powerful the film is. And the performances by Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers and especially by child actor Danny Lloyd, are outstanding.

[@Dylan_Platt]

No shame at all in being scared of this one -- like you said, the tension and the intensity just builds and builds and absolutely does not let up. Great reaction.

[@alextan1478]

Another movie that I would like to throw in with building tension & intensity is Dunkirk (2017). Hans Zimmer's music in that movie is really gonna make Addie feel so high strung.

[@krisfrederick5001]

Groundskeeper Willie: "Now, now. Go easy on the wee one. His father's gonna go crazy and chop them all into haggis." Bart: "What's haggis?" Willie: "Boy, you read my thoughts! You've got the "shinning." Bart: "You mean "shining." Willie: "Shhh! You wanna' get sued?"

[@CrazyBlitzwing]

I loved the Shining book, the scenes with the hedge animals that sadly didn't make the cut to the film is one of the few times a book has actually frightened me.

[@rodneybray5827]

Watch the remake and it has hedge animals. I didn't think it was worth the wait.

[@StCerberusEngel]

@@rodneybray5827 Would've been a lot better if they didn't move in camera and the scene just casually moved them closer between cuts/changing perspectives. Subtlety is a lot more effective most times. Their designs were also kind of benign, so a change of appearance as they moved would've helped too.

[@janekotoole8751]

So true, the hedge animals made me physically sick with dread.

[@carlossaraiva8213]

The book The Shining didnt scared me in the slightest - the topiary thing was dumb and silly as hell, small wonder it was cut from the movie. The book Pet Sametery, however, another matter.

[@THEvagabond29]

Yes the book is way better, but Kubricks interpretation is good as well.

[@kevinschultx7673]

Addie has now become a horror fan. It is ok Addie. There are tons of scary movies you will enjoy.

[@DMSG1981]

Neither "Silence of the Lambs" nor "The Shining" is a horror movie.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

@@DMSG1981 I'd call both Psychological Thrillers.

[@TTM9691]

@@DMSG1981 Dummy: The Shining is a horror movie, what alternative reality are you living in. This movie brings out the stupidest people, year after year. "Silence of the Lambs" aint horror, but "The Shining" totally is. (And please embarrass yourself with the dopey overanalysis you picked up on the internet). Your problem is you're not into movies, you're into dopey labels. People like you reduce things to bulls**t, just sit down and shut up. "The Shining" is not a horror movie, LMFAO. I guess you missed Kubrick describing it as a ghost story. Unbelievable how dumbed down people have gotten over the years.

[@TTM9691]

Really? Where did you see her say she has become a horror movie fan? At the end of the video she says exactly the opposite.

[@mrtveye6682]

Addie, it's totally fine to be scared. I've seen this movie 10+ times, and it still scares me. It's just a masterpiece in creating a nearly unbearable suspense level over the whole runtime. Just the way it's shot, cut, edited plus the soundtrack and sounddesign. It really messes with your brain. And the fantastic acting of the whole cast on top.

[@TheYakusoku]

If you don't know it's coming, because this is your first time watching it, "TUESDAY!" is one of the scariest moments in the film.

[@fynnthefox9078]

Fear is a good thing. Both in regular life as well as in entertainment. I LOVE getting scared when watching a horror movie, especially when the scares are well built up and aren't just cheap jumpscares.

[@need-to-know-]

I still won’t watch it alone late at night.

[@Dr.Strangmeme]

Reservations for Addie at the Overlook Hotel. Room 237 as you requested. “Come and play with us, Addie. Forever. And ever. And ever.” (Please don’t block me.) I truly applaud you for seeing this through the whole way. Take care, Addie!

[@alextan1478]

Let's give Addie a round of applause for surviving The Shining (1980).👏👏 This really is another great reaction to another great horror film. This is one of my favorites. In general, my girlfriend & I like horror films. I even liked seeing this movie featured in Twister (1996). You should definitely check out that movie and Doctor Sleep (2019) as well.

Alternate script: (Jack) "How do you like it"? (Wendy) "I find it a little repetitious".

[@kieronball8962]

Shining Movie Facts: The footage of the car drive at the start of The Shining, was also used for the ending of the movie Blade Runner! Kubrick almost forced actress Shelley Duvall into a mental breakdown, by depriving her of sleep and making her film scenes again and again! The climax of the film was actually filmed on a sound stage in England and the snow was really salt!

[@BubbaCoop]

Actually Blade Runner used outtakes. Ridley made use of Stanley's cutting room floor.

[@darielwoods7859]

Well done, Addie. You can now brag to your friends about seeing it, "Oh, you know... it was no big deal". Also, title card jump scares are hilarious! 🤣

[@Alix777.]

The music plays a very important part in Shining. The creepy, eerie music we hear in most of the Danny scenes (such a good little actor btw) like when he find the 237 door are extracts from the slow movement of "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta" by the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. The music was written in 1936 to...celebrate the tenth anniversary of the chamber orchestra of Basler, Switzerland. So not even for the movie, and it's surprising considering how creepy it is and how it fits the scenes perfectly. The other compositions we hear throughout the movie contribute to the dramatic intensity of the scenes and are mostly works by the polish composer Krystof Penderecki, which are literally terrifying and were not composed for the movie either.

[@wulf76]

The sequel to this is dr sleep when danny grows up and uses his gift to help people and finds out there are others that use it for more evil reasons. & danny had it the most wendy had it a little so she was ok with tony and she then was able to hear the voices and see the stuff in the later scenes. Jack had it the least and hid it from drinking. So the hotel went after the weakest one to consume them. & There is a lot of hidden gems in the movie it is up to the viewer to interpret what has happened

[@jardarius]

This movie still scares the shit out of me. 20 years after I first watched it, I still get chills just from seeing other people watch it. :-)

[@regould221]

The line ''Here's Johnny'' is really from the Johnny Carson show. But this movie gave it a whole new life.

[@shainewhite2781]

This movie had a lot of production problems: Shelly Duvall lost most of her hair due to the stressful reshoots she had to do,127 takes, for her scene where she was swinging the bat at Jack Nicholson. Kubrick would often argue with Duvall on how scene should be filmed. Nicholson slept on the set between scenes. Scatman Crothers, whom played Dick Halloran, had his scenes in the kitchen filmed 88 times and broke down crying saying, "What do you want from me, Mr Kubrick!?" A fire broke out near the set, where they were filming The Empire Strikes Back. The hedge maze scene was the most brutal and difficult to film as most of the crew would get lost in the maze and wouldn't find themselves out for an hour.

[@jamesbarels469]

Shelly Duvalll wasn't acting anymore she was so frightened from all the reshoots for the staircase-bat scene. Kubrick was not a kind director. Some could call it a very hostile work environment. He does bring to life amazing films.

[@ThomasKnip]

I'm so glad Addie didn't watch the "making of" of the movie, then. ^^

[@throwacnt7603]

It's funny because one interpretation is that this location is where the "shadow" of the mind/spirit is physically located. It's a place where whatever you have repressed or not dealt with comes out and "possesses" the individual. Kubrick acting that way is quite, quite ironic.

[@jessharvell1022]

it's funny, if you hear kubrick's family/non-movie friends talk it's always about what a warm, friendly guy he was, but from all evidence he could be a real bastard when he wanted. my favorite kubrick story about the endless takes is that harvey keitel was originally supposed to play the sydney pollack role in eyes wide shut, and after kubrick asked him to walk through a door one too many times he just said fuck this and quit.

[@iwatchyoutube6539]

No, shelly duvall did not lose most of her hair at all. This story is always spouted out and is highly exaggerated. There's a making of doc you can watch where she says her hair is falling out to kubrick and he laughs at her because she's holding up one strand of hair.

I think Addie psyches herself out far more than she needs to. She imagines untold horrors behind every corner, just because its a horror movie. So from now on... They're not horror movies, Addie. Alien is just a movie about meeting a new alien race and the difficulties understanding their unique reproductive ways. Predator is about an alien race sharing their hunting culture with us. Scream is just a fun little who done it. They're not horror movies at all. You can go into those movies worry free Addie!

Scatman Crothers (the man who played Halloran) was most famous for voicing a cartoon character by the name of Hong Kong Phooey. If you've seen Disney's "The Aristocats", then you may recognize him as the voice of Scat Cat. Anyway, Stanley Kubrick was a perfectionist, you could say, because he wouldn't stop shooting a scene until it's absolutely right. He even put Shelly Duvall through a lot of hell. Well, Stephen King absolutely hated Kubrick's adaptation of the novel, so much so that he was involved in the production of the miniseries of the same name which followed the book more closely. There's also a sequel called "Doctor Sleep". The movie stars Obi-Wan Kenobi as Danny, now an adult. As for the hotel in the story, it was inspired by an ACTUAL hotel called The Stanley Hotel, which is where they filmed the miniseries. Stephen King even stayed in that hotel (in room 217 (not room 237)), which inspired him to write the novel. Ever since "The Shining", the building has become a setting for paranormal activity. I am dead serious. Edit: Black people usually never survive in a Horror film.

The best 2 Kubrik films to watch are "Dr Strangeglove or how I learned to love the bomb," and "Full Metal Jacket." 2001 is decent. Do not watch "A Clockwork Orange." While it is a classic and a very well-made movie, I guarantee you will not like it.

[@shanialover]

Addie, my Grandmother told me that a quote you thought was from this movie wasn't. On the original Tonight show the co-host was named Ed Mcmahon. You might have seen him years ago as the one handing out giant checks to the winners of the Publishers Clearance House. On each Tonight show he would come out to greet the audience and when he was through he would announce the Host of the show by saying "Here's Johny." Then the curtains would open slightly and out walked the host Johny Carson. It was on for several years with those 2 and they had his desk and a chair plus a couch for the guests. On his desk they had a lighter for lighting any cigarettes the guests wanted to smoke. They also had plenty of ashtrays for the purpose. As far as the scene with the Bear and the man, a Bear is a symbol of a non heterosexual relationship LOL! Grady told him, You have always been here. As shown in the picture from 1921. 👠👠👗👗💓💓😉😉

[@jb888888888]

Back in 1980 "Here's Johnny!" was a reference everyone in the [US] audience would have gotten right away. Though from what I've heard it was an ad-lib by Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick (who had lived in England for many years by then) had to have it explained to him.

[@jcarlovitch]

14:12 Jack is actually the one contacting Holloran. Jack never checked Rm 237 because he already knew it was him that attacked Danny there. That whole scene is a dream both sexual and horrific in nature out of guilt about what he did to Danny and during the dream he actually shinned out the signal that Holloran picked up on.

@@jessharvell1022 true true ! specially in current days of of-spins to a side story of the prequel of the reboot of the insert_name_here universe.

Funny that you mentioned no shaky cam. This is one of the early uses of Steadicam. Then even flipped the rig upside down to follow Danny around on the big wheel, getting the unanticipated sound.

[@tommybronze3451]

@@BubbaCoop I know about these ;) kinda kubric fan my self. However my point is very general here, as nowadays we get a shaky cam + crazy jump edit + characters running aimlessly to make viewer feel like something is happening … while thing drags for 10 minutes (case point the whole star trek reboot is just imbeciles running around). Meanwhile kubric could make thing dynamic enough without cheap shots. Gone are the days when movies were an art form.

Thank you very much for putting yourself through this, it was an excellent reaction, and it's very much appreciated!

Ah, I can see you enjoyed our Spooktober "Winter Holiday Hotel Special". 😄 And everyone could use a friend like Tony! 🙃

There is a therapeutic value to watching horror movies, which the film critic G.W. Devon Pack termed 'feurproben'- watching horror allows you to become familiar with your anxiety and fear in a safe environment, which in turn makes you more acclimated and prepared to handle fear if you're ever in a situation where you have to deal with it in real life. That being said, don't feel you need to torture yourself just because it's October. You might want to consider starting with the really old horror movie classics, things like the 1931 Dracula, Nosferatu, Val Lewton's The Cat People. Then slowly bring yourself forward to when horror starts getting more extreme. So start off in the 1920s, and that might help you to build up towards more modern horror.

[@SamuelBlack84]

From personal experience, some things in life will always reduce you to unspeakable depths of terror no matter how much you acclimatise

When the title cards scare you you know it's going to be a great reaction.

[@88wildcat]

That TUESDAY title card gets practically everyone that reacts to this. It's almost as consistent as Ben Gardner's head in Jaws.

LOL I love the way she watches the whole movie with half her face covered.

Barry Nelson who plays Mr. Ullman in the first act -- nowadays this might be the movie he's most well known for. But fun fact, he was the first person to play James Bond on screen.

[@crepesoftime]

That was the TV version of "Casino Royale" in 1954. I've also seen him in a Twilight Zone episode called "Stopover In a Small Town."

Someone else has probably already said it, but Tony is Danny's future self he's connecting to and being shown things that will happen. Doctor Sleep is the sequel and pretty good.

[@bryangivens1981]

Good for you, Addie! You survived! It's one of the best slow-burn, terrifying movies ever made! And the music is beyond creepy, especially in the "All Work and No Play" scene. Interesting fact: most of the score existed before the film (Bartok and Pendereski), but Kubrik edited the film to match the music rather than the other way around. Brava!

[@NFLGuru22]

21:48 couldn't help bursting out laughing!

[@smavtmb2196]

You held in there Addie This is a psychological thriller with some very creepy moments. I saw that you have Stranger Things season 4 reactions so I definitely want to watch that. It will be interesting to see how you handled the scary moments.

[@brentspoerry2722]

When you talked to your finger to remind yourself its not real i lost it 😂😂

[@chrismcelligott5462]

Great job Addie! You faced your fear and got through The Shining. You have my respect and thanks for a great reaction video 👏👏👍

[@RJ_MacReady]

The constant heartbeat throughout the movie does a superb job of elevating the tension.

[@o.b.7217]

Ah yes, covering one's eyes...the age old childrens' belief: *"If I can't see the monster, the monster can't see me!"*

[@MrGpschmidt]

Just your reactions to the title cards scaring you was priceless. Arguably one of the greatest horror films and King adaptations (notoriously he hated Kubrick's film but c'mon his book was so long - he dedicates a chapter to the boiler room!) and iconic turns by Jack & Shelley. Great job Addie; you survived this you can now literally watch any other in the genre!

[@frankiek2269]

No, disagree. Not about the book and movie or anything. Didn’t mind the book, even though some chapters ‘dragged’. It does give more insight and understanding that the movie doesn’t cover. Same with “Doctor Sleep”. But I disagree that this movie is the litmus test of being able to watch ‘anything horror’. That movie is “The Exorcist: Directors Cut”, without a doubt. But there is one caveat. Addie isn’t allowed to watch it in the middle of the afternoon like she did this one. Has to be at night. Lol. Watching scary movies during the day is cheating.

[@quicktastic]

Nice! Addie has the perfect temperament for this movie. On edge the whole way. At least you got through it unscathed. Great reaction.
