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.

  • 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?

        I'd happily watch all by myself on a dark night in a haunted house :-)

  • 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
