This was one of the greatest years for horror films ever. There are numerous exceptional films, most of which have been listed above by bizarre_eye and Reaper. However, I'd have to go with the OP and have The Shining as my favourite from this year. It has a career-defining performance by Jack Nicholson, quite brilliant and groundbreaking Steadicam work by John Abbott and a script, by Kubrick and Diane Johnson, that's probably better than that in Stephen King's original novel.
