@13wyldeoscars: THE SHINING (1980) HORROR #theshining #psychologicalthriller #horror #terror #scary The idea for Danny Lloyd to move his finger when he was talking as Tony was his own. He did it spontaneously during his very first audition. Because Lloyd was so young, and since it was his first acting job, Stanley Kubrick was highly protective of the child. During the shooting of the movie, Lloyd was under the impression that the film he was making was a drama, not a horror movie. He only realized the truth several years later, when he was shown a heavily edited version of the film. He did not see the uncut version of the film until he was seventeen, eleven years after he had made it.
