4. The Shining

The Shining is a highly revered horror film brought to us by the brilliant and sometimes insane Stanley Kubrick. It features what may be THE defining Jack Nicholson role (although one could argue for Mars Attacks!) as a writer who slowly goes crazy in an abandoned hotel. So, there was bound to be some horrific stuff going on in this movie; after all, it is based on a Stephen King novel.

However, Stanley Kubrick managed to sucker punch all of us by doing a classic switcheroo: Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) finds an attractive and very naked woman in one of the hotel bathrooms. He proceeds to make out with her in that creepy-uncle way that only Jack Nicholson can do, until he pulls back and sees that he€™s been making out with an abhorrent-looking old lady, covered in brown stuff for some unexplained reason. It may be in fact be the most frightening thing that happened in that film.
