10 Most Iconic Images In Film History

05. Here's Johnny!! - THE SHINING (1980)

It's one of the most notorious moments within horror cinema and one of the most widely recognised still images too. The sheer lunacy of Jack Nicholson's character in Stanley Kubrick's classic horror film The Shining is perfectly displayed in this photograph. He is totally menacing in the image, which is all the more unnerving for this. Regularly featuring in or on the cover of books documenting horror films, this is one of the most commonly used images to immediately evoke the genre. Available in a number of formats, from coffee mugs to t-shirts, this photo will surely remain as iconic as the film itself for many years to come.
