4. The Shining

Who knew that the only thing that separated Jack Nicholson from being horrifying was a slight limp and a day’s growth? Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s book is so loose that the author publicly disowned the final product. Of course, one man’s dissent doesn’t change the fact that several moments in the horror flick are still bone-chilling. Elevator of blood. Bathtub lady. Those freaky twins. That’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this shudder-inducing vacation to a Colorado hotel.
