I can understand why it was scary in its day though, especially considering back then people were more religious than they are today and people believed more that the Devil (as in an actual evil being ruling Hell) actually existed, whereas a lot of religious people don't believe that today. Also, just because people were less desensitised to horror than they are presently.
Yeah I love The Shining. Has some great imagery in it, especially when the kid is cycling around the hotel. I was quite aprehensive about what was in the room when I first saw it as a kid. :)
