What Really Happens to Jack Torrance? The Shining’s True Ending - Explained

I am starting this video with a quick spoiler warning and will cover the entire 1980 movie, the ending of Doctor Sleep (2019), and the key beats of King’s novel. So if you have not seen them or read the book, you should go check them out and come back. With that said, now I need you to sit down with me about a problem that should technically be impossible. At the end of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, Jack Torrance dies. Not like "maybe dies" or "dies off screen"; he is dead. The film shows us his frozen body in a snowy hedge maze. Then the camera glides out of the Gold Room and down a hallway lined with old framed photographs, before moving in toward one of them while a twenties dance tune plays. #TheShining #JackTorrance #StephenKing #stanleykubrick
