Stanley Kubrick's mania for perfection made that famous "Here's Johnny!" scene take over 140 takes. Jack Nicholson is seen using an axe to break through a door in this scene. Kubrick tested Shelley Duvall, pushing her to the brink of emotional exhaustion, taking multiple takes to get a real sense of terror from her. Duvall's anguish added a real feeling to her performance, and it has become one of the most unforgettable moments in horror cinema.
