Jack Nicholson's character was possessed not by a ghost of the hotel but by the hotel itself.
Ok that makes sense. I haven't seen it in a while, are there any implications throughout the movie that it is the hotel, itself, that is doing the possessing? Does the movie (or novel for that matter) mention the hotel possessing other poeple before Jack's character?
The photo at the end, I believe, is meant to show that Jack Nicholson's character is now apart of the hotel. I'm guessing the picture just sort of supernaturally changed to add him in once he was fully possessed by the hotel. Hope this helps.
Yes that helps a lot, thank you.
His image has been added to the old photo, not that he was around at the time the photo was taken. That adds up.
I guess now when someone else starts tripping in that bar they might see Jack's character as well.
Cool movie.
I had a friend that had a license plate that read just "Room 367", IIRC (the actual room number might be different). It was the room in The Shining that those creepy twin little girls were hanging out in. Nobody ever really caught the reference but when he told them everyone pretty much had the same response: "Wiieerd...."
