The Shining (1980) - Original Stunt Axe
A stunt axe used by Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) in Stanley Kubrick's iconic horror film, The Shining, is a chilling cinematic artifact. Jack wields this axe during the film's terrifying climax, hunting his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall), confronting Hallorann (Scatman Crothers), and hauntingly pursuing his son Danny (Danny Lloyd) through the Overlook Hotel's maze. The axe becomes a haunting symbol as Jack freezes to death while tightly clutching it. Additionally, an axe plays a pivotal role in a flashback sequence depicting the murder of the twins. This custom-made fire axe, an iconic symbol of horror cinema, was designed to be lightweight for scenes depicting Jack chasing Danny and Wendy through the halls of the Overlook Hotel. The axe is in excellent condition, bearing a few knicks and scratches from its use during filming. It also has a small dent in the axe head from when it was damaged during production. Its dimensions are 35 1/2" x 11 1/2" x 1". This lot is accompanied by a letter from producer Martin Richards and a Certificate of Authenticity from Studio Auctions
