• During the opening sequence, as Jack is driving around the side of a mountain, you can see the shadow of the helicopter that is filming the scene. - Jeremiah

• Through the film, the prior caretaker's name changes. "All work and no proofreading makes script mighty odd." - Andrew

• Another problem: when there's that crazy snowstorm, the family's watching a movie on the TV with perfect reception! And don't say they had a VCR, since at that time very hardly any homes, or lodges, had video machines... - Andrew
  • Addition: Not only is the reception on the TV perfect, but the TV isn't plugged in. - Nate

• In the living room of the lodge. He stabs, and the butchers knife comes up clean as a whistle. - notbriefs

• When Danny is eating a sandwich in his home at the start of the film with Wendy, he has only eaten a couple of bites. The camera turns from Danny to Wendy and when it turns back to Danny, nearly all of the sandwich has gone. - Sarah

• When Jack is wandering through the hedge maze looking for Danny, at one point he turns a corner, and a crew member holding a light can be seen in the background. - Nate

• Any mistakes made in this movie I blame on the wife (Shelley Duvall). She is a decent actor but if you have the video with the extra at the beginning of the film, it mentions that Shelley would always get jelous of Jack Nicholson and she would fake getting sick to have the attention towards her. That pissed me off. She took up good time and money probably just because she craved the spotlight. That is why some time change goofs I blame on her. - Stevo

• (Continuity) In the movie the Shining with Jack Nicholson, the scene where he is using the ax on the bath room door to get to his wife, he is concentrating on the upper left rectangle on the door, but when he hears the cook driving up in the snow kat and turns around, both the upper rectangle sections have been removed by his ax. - THICKchicLVR

• (Continuity) In the scene where Jack is axing through the bathroom door trying to get to his wife, one of the panels is completely chopped out. When she cuts his hand, the camera goes to him, then back to the door... both panels are then knocked out of the door. - Lauren

• (Continuity) Watch the scene where "Jack" is typing at his typewriter and his wife interrupts him. In one shot you can see a box like structure against the wall behind him. After the shot switches to his wife and then back to him, it is gone. (VHS) - Luther

Commented Goofs

• When the little kid is on his tricycle, he stops and stares at the haunted room (237). The camera shot goes from the boy, to the room number, back to the boy again. When the camera goes back to the boy on his tricycle again, you can see that he is not in the same spot that he was before. - Shady
  • Comment: The room in the movie is #237. In the book it is room #217. - Despeyland
    • Comment: The management of the Timberline Lodge requested that Kubrick would not use room 217 (as specified in the book), fearing that nobody would want to stay in that room ever again. Kubrick changed the script to use the nonexistent room number 237. - Webmaster
