Is it normal to be scared of the teddy bear man in the shining?

weird question i know, but i get really scared whenever that scene from the shining comes on where that man is dressed like a bear and just looks at wendy. my sister put on a bear mask for halloween and i just burst into tears it scared me so much. also i know it's a 'parody' but i can't listen to or watch that 30 seconds to mars song 'the kill' just because of it's references to that part in the shining. i love the film but i always have to leave the room when that part comes on... i haven't seen what the bear man actually looks like since i was about 11 when i first watched it... am i just working it up in my head? my friends said i have a phobia...?

btw i'm not the type to get scared easily, i love horror films and haunted houses and all that shit... it's just this one thing that really terrifies me.

Is It Normal?

  • I always thought that the old lady in the bathroom scene was scary. The twins standing at the end of the long hallway always freaked me out when I was a kid.

      • The end of the movie when Jack Nicholson is frozen always made me laugh.

  • I actually had to look that up and I've seen The Shining several times. I guess it didn't leave much of an impression on me.

  • FYI - The Shining with Jack Nicholson was filmed in Oregon on Mt. Hood at Timberline lodge.

  • Not normal to be scared of fictional characters.

    • Really? What about slender man and Freddy Kruger? Werewolves? The bogeyman? The devil? They're not scary?

  • Maybe you shouldn't watch the movie if you can't handle it?

  • It's been so long since I've seen it I can't really remember, but I'm sure it is scary.

  • lmao I loved that part but yeah it was probably the freakiest scene in the whole movie. that's what made it hilarious to me though.. btw i thought it was a pig? i just checked though it does look more like a bear
