45-year mystery behind eerie photo from The Shining is believed to be solved (cbc.ca)
It's a moment etched in horror movie history. In Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror classic The Shining, the camera zooms in toward a black-and-white photograph hanging in the hallway of the Overlook Hotel. It's dated July 4, 1921. Dead centre stands Jack Torrance — played by Jack Nicholson — smiling in a crowd of partygoers. But the photo wasn't taken on set with extras. It was a real photo from the 1920s, and Nicholson's face had been superimposed over someone.
