The Shining's tough because of Danny's extreme youth. Poor kid.

In the miniseries which was written by Stephen King, King takes out one of my favorite images: Where the Overlook embodied in Jack spins the wheel of the boiler --- the hot metal sinking into the palms of his hands and setting them on fire --- and when the gauge goes down, it shuffles in a victory dance with its flaming hands waving above its head.

Instead King replaces that with a scene where Jack takes back control of himself one final time as he stands in front of the boiler and deliberately refuses to spin the wheel to release the pressure and so makes the decision to blow up the Overlook.
