Lloyd thought he was making a drama and not a horror film in “The Shining”

February 24, 2014 By Christina Varveri Leave a Comment

Stanley Kubrick, the producer and director of the 1980 British-American psychological horror film “The Shining”, was highly protective of the child Danny Lloyd and he didn’t want to make him feel scared.

For this reason Lloyd was not told that he was making a horror movie, but a drama.

In fact, when Wendy  (Shelley Duvall) carries Danny away while shouting at Jack in the hotel’ s lounge, she is actually carrying a life-size dummy so Lloyd would not have to be in the scene.

He didn’t see the uncut version of the film until he was 17  and it was then when he  realized the truth.
