The Shining Script

I found a website which provides the entire script from 'The Shining' (1980). I decided to do this script because we will probably be making the opening to a horror film and i felt it would be appropriate.

-Script-

INT. BEDROOM - M.C.S.

(JACK at Bathroom door. )

JACK

Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!

CUT TO:INT. BATHROOM - M.S.

(WENDY by open window. She moves L-R to basin.

CAMERA PANSwith her. She picks up knife and moves R-L to side of door..132.

CAMERA PANS with her. )

CUT TO:INT. BEDROOM - M.C.S.

(JACK at Bathroom door. )

JACK

Not by the hair on your chiny, chin, chin.

Then I'll huff, and I'll puff

CUT TO:M.S.

(JACK holding axe back to camera at Bathroom door. )

JACK (CONT'D)

and I'll blow your house in.

(He swings axe back.)

That part of the script i find particularly frightening and wil be good reseach for our own film opening.

INTERESTING FACT-Jack Nicholson's famous line "Here's Johnny" was ad lib and was not in the original script.
