Aug 4 2008The Shining: Now With More Robots!
I don't really like scary movies because I pissed myself in the theater during Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and all my friends still make fun of me. But I did happen to see The Shining in my youth. Remember the tricycle scene (if you don't I posted the original after the jump)? Well this is that scene recreated with the only thing that could possibly make it scarier -- robots. Now I'm not gonna say watching it made me pull a Potter here in my cube, but it did. And, uh-oh, I think a little WALL-E might have snuck out as well.
Hit the jump for the original scene from the movie.
Thanks to Rob (whose buddy actually made the video) and Daniel, now lets recreate the headspin scene from The Exorcist. OMG SCARY!

That was hilarious. Though to be perfectly honest I prefer my robot art in the form of robot sex in a sort of deco style.

Really? I can't usually watch scary movies, and I've seen "The Shining." "Poltergeist" scared me witless. I'm so terrified of so many things now because of that movie. I can't be alone in the house anymore.
