Here comes Danny!!

My favourite movie all time is The Shining. It's just not a great horror movie, it's a complete masterpiece. Everything from the casting and photography till the music and set decoration is just perfect. Six year old Danny Lloyd (born 1973) was selected for the role of Danny Torrance due to his ability to retain his concentration for extended periods of time. Because of his age and the genre of The Shining, Danny was closely guarded by Kubrick during filming and didn't know it was a horror film until several years later. Despite his notoriety and his famous line "Redrum! Redrum!", Danny made only one more film and has stated that he isn't interested in an acting career. Nowadays he teaches hard science at Missouri.
I wonder how many students say "redrum, redrum" during his lessons....



Bonus: Check out this creepy alternate trailer version.
I have to check nobody is in my room when I write this down...


Here are some creepy songs from the movie you can use this Friday, the 13th...
