I did feel sorry for him. And he died in such a brutal way.

"Anyone else feel this way about Hallorann?"
———————————-
Yeah, I definitely felt bad for him.

Add me. I liked the TV miniseries so much better.

Yes. It was a dumb thing to do and I'm one of the few who thinks the TV miniseries did The Shining better.

and the way Jack swung that axe into this old man traumatized me.
Same here!!! That scene is burned into my mind to this day. I wanted to scream like Danny did.

Did you find anything else traumatizing?
Like the blood flooding the hallway, the twins or the dead bodies?
I didn't see that at the time. Can't remember what I thought when I saw it as a teenager. I like how it made Rose The Hat smile compared to the horror on Wendy's face when she saw the river of blood. This scene and Jack carrying the ax in the snow are my 2 earliest memories. I initially thought was was flying on that ax like a witch on a broom when he went limping after Danny in the snow.
Tell you what…When I send my ex-wife her money…you can lick the stamps.

"Agreed. He saved both Wendy and her son."
Besides bringing them the Snowcat, how else?
Been awhile since I watched.

His soul helped save Danny in some way. I'm sure of it.
Agreed. He saved both Wendy and her son.
I first saw this during the day on TV at grandma's when I was about 5 or 6 years old and the way Jack swung that axe into this old man traumatized me.

How dare you say my ass is dumb!
Seema to me like you're wasting your valuable brain cells defending these monsters!!! Why the **** do you bother???!!!!!
It knows calculus, geometry and rocket science!
Let them cry!! They are adults making decisions to pick on another human being.

Run that by me again.

I don't know asshole. Stop making dumbass topics.

He did bring the snowcat which they drove away in.
But still, he should have survived or done more than that after going to all the trouble and time to get there.

Yeah it was a pretty bad characterization. His character wasn't there to help Danny. He exists only to explain how the haunted house works for the audience. It would have been more useful has Hallorann explained The Shinning to Wendy.

He survives in the novel. I don't know why Kubrick had him killed off like that - and so damn quickly.

I have nothing against changing something in a book for a movie; however, Kubrick's adaptation was dull, the characters one dimensional, and it played comically.

I like the changes Kubrick made. I'm sure he threw a lot of King fans for a loop by killing off Hallorann.

Dick is wounded by Jack, but survives.

Well, I am talking about the movie and not the book.
Since you did bring it up though…
Did he even get at least wounded by the ax in the book?

SPOILER: He didn't die in the book.
Another reason why I hate Kubrick's "adaptation".
