In the dead of winter, snowed in at the vacant Overlook Hotel in the Rocky Mountains, frustrated writer Jack Torrance has snapped. Wielding an axe, Torrance corners his own wife and child in a bathroom. His son manages to escape through a small window, but Wendy Torrance is locked inside the room, scared for her life. Suddenly, the head of an axe comes bursting through the locked door. Then, Wendy’s deranged husband shoves his face into the hole as he grins and shouts, “Here’s Johnny!”

This scene from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, starring Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance and Shelley Duvall as Wendy, is widely considered to be one of the most terrifying moments in the history of film. And yet, it’s been imitated and parodied for laughs in dozens of comedies — from adult shows like Community and The Simpsons to children’s shows like Tiny Toons and Johnny Bravo.
