They Flee On A Snowcat, & A Deleted Scene Shows Their Recovery
After being freed from the kitchen pantry by Grady’s ghost, Jack (whose sanity was already shattered by that point) goes after Wendy and Danny, ax in hand. Wendy and Danny lock themselves in the bathroom, and Wendy sends Danny through the window. Unable to pass through that same window, Wendy is trapped when Jack arrives and breaks through the door with the ax — the famous “Here’s Johnny!” scene. Wendy defends herself with a knife and slashes Jack’s arm, causing him to retreat. The Overlook’s...
Jack's Death And The Escape Are Both Very Different
As mentioned above, the film ends with Wendy and Danny escaping during a snowstorm thanks to the Snowcat Hallorann arrived in. Jack is left in the snow and freezes to death, and it’s implied that the Overlook Hotel continues with its cycle of murder by bringing in more reincarnations of past workers.

When the hotel’s forces get hold o...

The apparition of the dead woman in the bathtub in Room 237 is one of the movie’s most haunting images. She symbolizes the decadence and decay hiding beneath the Overlook’s luxurious facade. She is first seen as a beautiful, young woman, luring in the unsuspecting victim, much like the hotel itself.
The film's most famous scene, when Jack places his face through the broken door and says, "Here's Johnny!", which echoes scenes in both D. W. Griffith's Broken Blossoms (1919) and the 1921 Swedish horror film The Phantom Carriage.
