The top of his head is shining.

This man was like the anti-Jack. So good to have this balance in the movie.

Mr. Hallorann was a nice man

“Are you scared of this place?” The shot immediately switches to wide angle where you can see both Haloran and Danny with knives hanging directly over Danny’s head. Kubrick was a genius.

He loved that boy. His fear of that room was palatable. He wanted to protect Danny...bless him

People with the "it was all in Jack's head" theory def missed this scene in the movie.

the part where he said "there aint nothing in room 237...so stay out!" made the hairs stand up on my neck the first time i watched it. it's just so cryptic and out of left field. the way his demeanor changed so suddenly and strongly at the mention of the room added to it.

Danny is so cute. The way he just stares at him all quiet and innocent.

“Is there something bad here”? The way he says that gives me chills.

"Is there something bad here?" danny is so intelligent

Music could have absolutely killed the tension of this scene. This might be the most effective scene in the film.

Casting Scatman Crothers in this movie was pure genius. It's said that many comedians get into comedy due to something really bad that happened to them in the past, often as kids. So they have a lot of emotional resources to call on when doing drama.

I love this scene. The way Halloran carefully chooses his words, never outright says the hotel has a malevolent mind of its own. The Overlook is not holy ground, not even close, but you still have to tread carefully.

That kid is a good actor :')

I'm 43 I can remenber Scatman from all that timr a ago. What a beautiful man

'I'm not a-sposed to.'

Telling a child to stay out of a certain room is just making it inevitable that he’ll go in.

I absolutely love Danny Lloyd in this.

'Mr. Halloran are you scared of this place?' --- chilling

They filmed this like 75 times and it pays off!

40 years later This movie is still Shining and going strong. CLASSIC!!

When Danny ask’s, “are you scared of this place?” The camera view changes and it shows the knives above Danny’s head at 2:50 as a reminder it will be used later in the movie.

0:10 and 1:07 you can hear someone whispers “SHONE!!” Past tense of Shine . Kubrick was a freaking genius

He was so nice like a friendly grandfather talking to Danny

I was so sad when he died. His death scene was never easy to watch he was a good man with a HUGE heart and he loved Danny it must have been nice for the both them to finally find someone who understood their talent again since he probably hasn't had that since his grandmother. He took a plane and went threw the storm, he did everything he could just to make sure that Danny was safe. It was so sad when he died but the end of the day he did save the mother and son bc they were able to use the snow truck to get out of there. Even though he didn't make it he made a difference and saved 2 lives.

Scatman crothers absolutely brilliant in this scene. Shining best movie of all time.

It's so cute the way he speaks with Danny. He's so good with children.

I keep watching this video over and over again. Mr. Scatman Crothers has an amazingly soothing voice, and I feel ashamed to not have known he passed away....

Fun fact: this scene was shot so many times that the actor of dick halloran said to Kubrick “i can’t do it anymore I just can’t do it anymore Stanley”

This scene is the heart of the movie. It explains the entire movie

*Interesting fact:* The guy who played Hallorann was the voice of Scat Cat in *The Aristocats*

Those knives though... watch how the background changes after Danny's question "Mr.Halloran.. Are you scared of this place? 2:46 Brilliant!

Anyone who loves films and film making this scene is so good. All about the dialogue. No camera movement. Static, concentrated and so riveting. A brilliant film.

"But there are other folks, though mostly they don't know it, or don't believe it" most important line in the ENTIRE movie if you wish to understand the ending or indeed many of the subsequent scenes.

When I was a kid, I saw "The Shining " at the show, I was scared to death. 40 years later this movie still gives me the chills and spooks me.

I love how the shy , quiet , untrusting traits of Danny almost instantly fade as he is able to freely open up to Hallorann. His trust in Dick even goes beyond his own parents as he tells him all about his "Shine". Probably the best relationship in horror movie history between The Shining and Doctor Sleep. With Dick Hallorann we get to see the true embodiment of a Guardian Angel.

In the novel Hollorann is still alive at the end after coming back to the hotel to save Danny and Wendy. It was an injustice having him killed in the movie.

"Just like a ghost ship" Oh the irony....

I think Halloran knows room 237 is the heart of the evil presence in the hotel & he senses Danny's abilities have the power to awaken that presence, hence his strong fear when Danny mentions that room..brilliantly done.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I've often wondered if Hallorann secretly took it upon himself to use his abilities to protect the people at the hotel from the sinister forces in it, and when he left, they sensed his absence and attacked. Maybe he figured that with only three people there, they wouldn't be in any danger. Again, just somethjng I've thought about.

".....what a bout room 237 ??......" chills go up and down my spine EVERY time. 😳😳😳

“i’m not a’pposed to” the little boy playing danny is so precious 😭

when someone burns TOASsss

This movie is a masterpiece

i was expecting danny to have made it big in the movies after this role

This scene ends absolutely terrifying with nothing more than a simple conversation between two people.

The way Danny says "Is there something bad here?" has always creeped me out!

"Stay out! You understand, stay out!" Weeks later Danny goes into room 237 and almost gets strangled Nice listening skills, Danny! ...

I loved this movie as a kid. Every time I wanted to watch it I’d eat hot pockets lol and now it’s tradition

Danny is so cute The best actor as a child

The lack of music in this scene makes it so much more chilling.

Always thought Scatman Crothers did some really terrific work here - he even pulls off the famous signature "Kubrick stare" beautifully. A lovely actor with genuine screen presence, Crothers was almost driven to tears with Kubrick's obsessive multiple takes. But this, of course, is one of the key scenes in the film, and you can almost feel the intense concentration coming from behind the camera. And Crothers really sells it.

Telecommunication disturbs ghosts for some reason, so they decide to mess with the telepathoid's father, convincing him that finishing business will make him the succesful person he had always decided to be. This is all because of The Shining.

This scene is complex and chilling

Even this short interlude with Hallorann was enough for Danny to realize he wasn't alone...but that it was ok to be scared sometimes.

Love the leftover melted chocolate ice cream around the rim of the saucer.

SPOILER ALERT. See the movie first! It's so worth the watch several times! For those who have seen it, read on.... Pause it at 2:56 Kubrick was a genius. Look how he framed this shot. First he shows Hallorann and Danny mirroring each other with interlocked hands and posture. Then he shows us entire elements into the movie in this one scene. The most obvious one is the long knives pointing towards Danny. Then the freezer door (Jack freezes to death) and they are all kind of "locked up" in this hotel and finally at the top right...and EXIT sign. They need to exit...fast!

The look on Halloran's face when Danny first askes him about 237. Scatman did a remarkable job. The tone of the conversation totally switches. His face drops without moving at all.

This is so real. Oscar caliber both of them. So powerful and perfectly underplayed. Best kid performance ever. These 2 stole the film I think. lovable.

Always stuck with me the complete and total change in demeanor in Halloran when Doc mentions room 237. Like he looks terrified.

I hated how this character died in the end! He was so likable and didn’t deserve to die.

In the book this conversation between Mr. Hallorann and Danny happened in Hallorann's car in the parking lot. It was also a more in-depth convo. I guess this is why people often say the books are better than the movies. You get so much more in-depth explanations.

Scatman was awesome, and I'm glad he got a good part in a Kubrick film. He got the part because he and Nicholson worked together in 'Cuckoo's Nest' and Nicholson recommended him. He did have a near-breakdown while shooting the scene when he lists everything that's in the pantry (Kubrick called for 60 or 70 takes causing Scatman to scream "For God's sake Mr. Kubrick, what do you WANT?!") but in the documentary about The Shining he tears up when talking about Kubrick and says "I love that man!" probably because he knew Kubrick was making him deliver a performance beyond anything he'd done before.

Poor Scatman. Supposedly Kubrick required =148= takes of this scene!

2:54 you see the knives above the kid? That's not there by accident. The director/producers put that there to let the audience know of the danger looming in the hotel for the family. Greatest horror movie of all time.

Scatman is the main man! Absolutely love him.

When he sees the ghosts of the two little girls in the hallway hes such a brave little boy.

One of the best scenes of the movie 👍

Scatman Crothers was such a good underrated actor sad he passed away in the mid 80's from lung cancer

In the novel, the Overlook takes control of all powers of anyone that dies in the hotel. That's why it wanted Danny murdered so bad in the hotel, so it can assume his powers. It could care less what happened to Wendy or Jack.

Danny shot a wave of fear right through Dick's heart with that mention of room 237.

i love scatman and danny so much 🥰🥰🥰

We're all dying, the World's just one big Hospice with fresh air.

Gotta love the long pause and the double take that Halloran gives Danny at 3:23 after he says "Mr. Halloran, is there something bad here?" You can practically SEE him thinking "holy shit...just how much does this kid already know about this place and how much do I tell him without scaring him?"

Scary as all hell… without a single special effect. Is the mark of a great director and cast.

My dad showed me this movie for the first time the weekend before my school closed. That was perfect timing.

Superb scene.

One of the most intriguing scenes in the movie.

Trying to get that hexagon carpet to buy

RIP Scatman Crothers, so talented. I loved him as JAZZ in the 80s Transformers cartoon series.

Yeah the very end of the scene is powerful.

I decided to re-read the book starting last week, simply because it was the scariest book, beside Salem's Lot, that scared the crap out of me in the early 1980's. So, I have a love/hate relationship with the film. It's so far removed from what King was driving home, page after page of the most frightening behaviors, but Kubrick's film still has a place in my heart. For one thing, the score is so good. He just twisted it into a modern day horror story and did well. THE Tv movie wasn't good but, at least it stayed with the brilliant imagery of the novel. THIS HERE Halloran scene, in the novel is SO MUCH BETTER than this scene in Kubrick's film. Halloran has Danny in the passenger seat of his car. Wendy see's it through the window of the Hotel and freaks out. Then she realizes that they're just talking together. Halloran asks Danny to give him his biggest psychic shout out, Danny does and Halloran almost has a brain tumor. In the book, Halloran tells Danny to shout out at him,. as loud as he can while he's in Florida, if any trouble happens at the Hotel. Missing from the film, along with other endearing horror scenes. Like Jack, near death comes back into consciousness, and he tells Danny that he loves him, and calls him "Doc." Then he tells "Doc" to run and transforms back into a murderer. Missing from the film.

The Legendary Scatman Crothers was brilliant here as Mr Halloran,Hard to believe this was the same man who did the voice for The Transformers Character Jazz,R I P Scatman🥺💐🙏🌹💔🥀

This movie the shining came out the year before I was born in 1981 and it came in 1980 this one of the best classic movie this movie me and my brother Philip watch I remember my brother would say I'm ain't supposed to the way my brother said it that Danny had said but sadly i lost my brother Philip 😢 a year ago last October of 2021 was 44 I sure miss my brother 😢 rest in peace to my brother 😢

Dick Hallorann was such a wholesome character

I love his look when Danny says to him, what about Room 237.

2:46 i like how Hallorann pauses before answering when Danny asks if he's scared of the overlook (again at 3:14 when Danny asks "is there something bad here" and one other time re: room 237 4:21). we see so little of Halloran but to me he's in a sense the most interesting character... the most mysterious. like he's some mystical guardian. though he seems visibly disturbed - in a state of disbelief i think - by what Danny has been able to sense about the hotel through shining. i should probably read the book to get a better sense of what Hallorann is all about

This is supposed to foreshadow that "shining" can have negative effects on people such as Jack Torrence.

One of my favorite movies of all time- I saw this movie when I was WAAAAAYYY too young to be watching it on cable tv as a kid, haha. It wasn't until I was in high school that I watched it and finally understood the whole story. I went right out, got the Stephen King book and read it.....was even better than the movie!

Beautiful acting. The faces.. wow..One of the best..

“WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, MR. KUBRICK?”

I like how Hollorann tries to prep Danny fast for what is to come since he will be leaving soon. He knows what can happen with Jack and Danny will be the only one to protect his mom.

“I’m not a’sposed to”

Such a wonderful scene.

In the book, Danny can't really remember his premonitions, but he does remember redrum but he doesn't know what it means. When he tries to tell people about his premonitions, it's sort of useless since he can't really remember them but he knows it was something bad cus he always peed himself or felt scared when he woke up from them

Scatman,one of my favorite actors of all time !!!!!!

Mr. Hallorann is intriguing because at first you assume he’s a villain

Wow! I just finished watching this at 2:37 pm!

You can see the subtle yet mortal terror in Dick's face when Danny mentions room 237.

Scatman was perfect for this role and very good with the child actor
