[edit] Revision

I felt the article was more centered on the film version than the novel so I revised it so it featured both of them and added some pictures. I think this improves the main article.--CyberGhostface 17:12, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jack's Death

I'm pretty sure that Jack killed himself by gathering ahold of himself and beating himself over the head with the mallet. I think then that the hotel took over him and continued to try to pursue Danny until Danny, Wendy, and Dick escaped as it blew up. We should differentiate between Jack's own will, and those of the hotel taking over him.

I haven't read the book in a while, but I don't recall that being the cause of his death.--CyberGhostface 00:55, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

His death was definitely NOT due to suicide. He was either dead or near dead -and in possession of his senses once more -as the boiler in the Hotel exploded. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thanos777 (talk • contribs) 06:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC).
