The 'Here's Johnny' scene from 'The Shining' is one of the all-time classic terror scenes in cinema. The scene stars Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, and an ax. Adapted from Stephen King's novel, 'The Shining' takes place at The Overlook Hotel but was based on King's experience of having stayed at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. That ax has to be one of the top set props of all time. The ax that Jack Nicholson wielded ax was not a foam prop ax, however; it was the real deal; It had to be to convey the madness of Jack Torrence out to kill his loving wife, hiding behind that bathroom door.
