In this 1980 horror masterpiece, Jack Nicholson heads to the remote Overlook Hotel for a little family bonding—and, you know, slowly losing his mind. As winter snow traps them inside, Nicholson’s Jack Torrance goes from frustrated writer to full-blown psycho, terrorizing his wife and psychic son with an axe and a whole lot of crazy. With iconic moments like “Heeere’s Johnny!” and those creepy twin girls in the hallway, it’s clear that no amount of room service is worth the descent into madness. Pro tip: avoid Room 237 and any job listings that involve “caretaker of haunted hotels.”
