David Harbour's Halloween treat

Considered to be one of the scariest scenes, Nicholson, plays the role of a struggling writer and alcoholic, Jack Torrance, who finally goes crazy and admits to the fact that he a psychopath killer. Exploiting the horror factor, Harbour dressed up as the movie character and nailed the deranged Jack's expression with perfection. Although the video ends when the so-called "axe" that Harbour was used to break the door, broke.

At the beginning of the video, David can be seen knocking on the closed door and starts mouthing off the dialogues by saying Little pigs, Little pigs let me in and then goes on to say that "I will huff, I will Puff and I will blow your house in", before the toy ax that he planned on using to enact the final sequence broke as soon as he hit it on the door.
