Shelley Duvall said in Kubrick: The Definitive Edition that she believed the cut scene was crucial in explaining “some things that are obscure for the public, like the importance of the yellow ball and the role of the hotel manager in the plot.” "There was one more element to the deleted ending. After the camera zoomed in on the photograph of Jack, a title card was to appear, reading: “The Overlook Hotel would survive this tragedy, as it had so many others. It is still open each year from May 20th to September 20th. It is closed for the winter.” Once again, this reinforces that the hotel itself is evil. But what are those “many other” tragedies?"

I remember the scrapbook scene in the novel. Too bad it was cut from the movie.

The AI makes this creepier than the movie.

At this point I'm with the "don't mess with my bible" crowd. If one of these were put into action at the time, perhaps my psychology might have grown around it. As it is, I like the current ending. It shows nothing can be trusted.
