The Shining is a terrifying nightmare of a movie. That's not opinion; it's an objective fact. The lady in the tub. Jack's typewriter. Gushing blood elevators. Those twins.

You might think, "Oh, but recreating all of that in gingerbread form ought to be cute and totally not-scary, right?" WRONG. The only difference is now your nightmares will be consumed by doomed little cookie-beings with their chocolate drop ":-O" expressions frozen in a silent scream forever.

Sleep well. Excuse us while we nope on out of here. (And all kidding aside, this is some beautifully elaborate cookie artwork, and you should check out the full gallery on Imgur.)
