It is the same prop used for the famous scene in the film where Jack uses the axe to smash his way through a door before announcing, &#8220;Here&#8217;s Johnny!&#8221; The scene has been referenced and featured in promotional materials so often over the years that many people who haven&#8217;t seen the film are still very familiar with that moment. The axe prop was also used for the death scene when Jack murders Dick Hallorann (Scatman Crothers).<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<div id=\"adsninja-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"adsninja-ad-zone\">\n<div id=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone\">\n<div class=\"ad-current\">\n<div id=\"ad-zone-container-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"ad-zone-container ad-zone-container-content-character-count-repeatable-1\" data-no-fill-collapsable=\"false\"><strong class=\"ad-zone-advertising-tag\">MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>The Shining<\/em> has some differences from the novel it&#8217;s based on, but the gist of the story is similar.

Be that as it may, <em>The Shining<\/em> has since become widely accepted as one of the all-time greatest horror films. It was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2018. It also inspired the 2019 sequel,<em> Doctor Sleep<\/em>, which was critically acclaimed as well.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\nWhen <em>The Shining<\/em> was first released, however, it wasn&#8217;t exactly welcomed with open arms by critics. It had even gotten Kubrick a nomination at the first-ever Golden Raspberry Awards for Worst Director. Shelley Duvall was also nominated for Worst Actress for her role in the film, but that nomination was just recently rescinded by the creators of the Razzies. They cited the treatment Duvall is said to have endured on the set from Kubrick during production as a reason why she shouldn&#8217;t be nominated.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\n&#8220;We have since discovered that Duvall\u2019s performance was impacted by Stanley Kubrick\u2019s treatment of her throughout the production. We would like to take this opportunity to rescind that nomination as well,&#8221; they said.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, when we have superfans of the film spending $175K just to own a single prop that was used for filming, it goes to show how beloved <em>The Shining<\/em> really has become over the past forty years.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\nf<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                    <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Rise-of-the-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-by-Nickelodeon.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Rise-of-the-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-by-Nickelodeon.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Nickelodeon\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie Gets Release Date at Netflix\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    About The Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/61d277e0e36b7-122318404_10158823022897288_7425860977661192148_n.jpg?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Jeremy Dick<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(5622 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n                Jeremy Dick has been a writer and editor since 2014.
