The Shining has gone on sale for £45,000 ($62,453).
Often regarded as one of the greatest horror films ever made, the 1980 movie is well known for the memorable scene in which Nicholson’s Jack Torrance tries to break down a door with an axe.
While a real wooden axe was used for the actual scene, auctioneers Paul Fraser Collectibles says the one on sale is a prop stunt ace that was substituted for the original wooden axe “as a safety measure and ease of use during filming.”
Happy belated birthday Jack Nicholson! His door-breaking axe scene is regarded as among the most iconic in cinema history. and we have the prop stunt axe for sale!https://t.co/Towf4pA9lX#TheShining #JackNicholson #HappyBirthday
