Chris Dimino: One Flew Over the Shining Cuckoo Clock

Part of a Shining Cuckoo Clock by Chris Dimino. It's the classic scene of Jack Nicholson breaking through the bathroom door with an axe to menace Shelley Duvall.

This is sheer, unadulterated genius: a cuckoo clock where Jack Nicholson, as Jack Torrance, crashes through the door every hour on the hour and yells “Heeeere’s Johnny!” Oh, and Shelley Duvall screams bloody murder.

It appears that this bit by Chris Dimino is just a work of art at this point, but sweet damn, I want one. I want an entire line of horror-themed cuckoo clocks. “They’re Coming to Get You, Barbara,” followed by Johnny coming through the door after her like towards the end of the film? Hell yes. Hell yes.

I also wish we had a video of the thing in action. I guess we’ll have to make do with the original…
