THE SHINING

5Here's Johnny!: Jack Nicholson in one of his most iconic roles, as a hotel caretaker gone totally certifiable.

It's true that horror movies are scarier back when you watched them as a kid. (Either that, or they don't make them screamers like they used to.) Take Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING, for instance. I remember freaking out at the sight of the twin girls holding hands along the hallway: "Hello, Danny. Come and play with us". And let's not get started with the palindromic REDRUM.
But sitting through the movie a second time as an adult, I doubt, will give me the same chills as before. It was the case with THE EXORCIST, so this should be no different.
