76 How does Jack die?
Answer: Freezes to death

In the movie The Shining, Jack Nicholson's character, Jack Torrance, meets a tragic end when he freezes to death in the snow. This happens after he becomes increasingly unstable and violent due to the isolation and supernatural forces at play in the haunted hotel where he is the caretaker. The scene where Jack freezes to death is a chilling moment in the film, as it represents the culmination of his descent into madness and the ultimate price he pays for his obsession with the hotel's dark history. The Shining has become a classic horror movie, known for its iconic performances and eerie atmosphere.

77 Who was the actress that played Wendy?
Answer: Shelly Duvall

She got some stick in the making of this film, didn't she?!
78 Jack did not like it when I turned into an old woman. Who played me?
Answer: Lia Beldam

Beldam portrayed the young woman in the bathtub, in one scene in "The Shining". Jack went to a room in The Overlook Hotel and noticed someone in the bathtub, pulling back the curtain. There was a woman in the bathtub and she got out of it and approached Jack. She began to feel around his body and the two of them shared a kiss. However, Jack became disgusted once the woman turned into an older person with hideous features, while she was hanging onto him.
Beldam's first acting credit was as the young woman in the bathtub in Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining".
79 Where is Dick when he gets the cry for help from Danny?
Answer: Florida

Dick is lying on his bed in Miami watching the evening news. The newscaster is talking about the current weather condition in Florida. Then the newscaster switches to the weather in Colorado. He says Colorado is being hit by a major snow storm. Dick starts to shake as he gets the image of Danny in trouble. Dick is concerned about the family. Dick calls the Colorado Park Rangers to try to get them to contact the Overlook. The rangers tell Dick the phone lines are down because of the storm. The ranger tells Dick he will try to contact them via CB. The ranger tells Dick to call back in 20 minutes. Dick calls back and the ranger says he wasn't able to get in touch with the family. Dick immediately catches a flight to Colorado. He calls his friend Durkin to get a snowmobile. Durkin tells him the weather is bad. Dick tells Durkin he has to get to the hotel to check on the Torrances. We see Dick driving the snowmobile through the woods to the hotel. When he arrives he goes to the hotel to find the family. He calls out for them several times, but nobody answers. Dick continues his search when Jack appears out from behind a column. Jack drives his axe into Dick's stomach and kills him. Danny has seen what has happened and starts screaming. Jack follows the screams and chases Danny.

Florida is known as the Sunshine State. It is probably one of the most visited states in the United States because of its tourist attractions and theme parks. Florida is home to Magic Kingdom and Epcot among others. Florida is also known for its produce. It is a leader in the citrus industry especially the growth of oranges. Florida was the 29th state admitted to the United States of America.
80 'Here's Johnny!'
Answer: Jack

Jack says this in his peculiarly twisted fashion after breaking through one panel of the bathroom door.
81 'Been away, but now I'm back.'
Answer: Jack

Jack says this in reference to the bar, but it could be taken as a reference to his presence in the hotel.
82 'Nothin'. There ain't nothin' in room 237. But you ain't got no business goin' in there anyway, so stay out. You understand? Stay out!'
Answer: Dick

Dick's final warning to Danny after their talk over ice cream.
83 What does Danny use to write 'Redrum'?
Answer: lipstick

Danny takes his mother's lipstick off the dresser and writes 'redrum' on the bathroom door across from the mirror so that when Wendy sees it in the mirror, it reads as 'murder'.
84 When Jack is coming after Wendy and Danny, they retreat to the bathroom in their apartment. Jack proceeds to chop through the door with an axe. What is problematic about the shots showing this door during this sequence?
Answer: When Jack leans into the door to say 'Here's Johnny', there is only one panel missing. When we see Jack and the door after we realize Dick is arriving, there are two panels knocked out.

Either Jack was very productive while the camera cut away to show Dick, or this is a goof. Or, I suppose, it all has some deeper meaning that I just don't buy into. Apparently, the first doors they had built for these scene were like stunt doors, built flimsy to facilitate work of the 'movie star' who had to break through them. What they didn't know was that Jack Nicholson used to be a volunteer firefighter and know how to use an axe. He went through the first doors with way to much strength and they shattered. The carpenters ended up having to build a whole new batch of doors (enough for Kubrick's obscene number of takes) that would be stronger and allow Jack to really lay into them.
85 What is the bartender's name?
Answer: Lloyd

Lloyd is kind of creepy looking, isn't he? Then again, this movie is horrifying (and great), so he fits right in.
