Though she was a beast with Paul, I think when faced with someone crazier than her (Yeh, I'd say Jack is crazier) the "innocent little lady" part of her personality would get scared to the surface and Jack would tear her up.

[SIZE="3"]There is no way you can answer this question. Both were better than great. But since I have to vote then I will vote Jack because The Shinning is one of my favorite horror movies.[/SIZE]

Well Jack was normal in the beginning... Gradually the hotel and isolation turn him ga ga.
Annie was crazy for a longer period of time therefore would have more time to manifest her craziness! I vote Annie!

I think it depends entirely on who's element we are in. If we are in the Overlook, I'd say that Jack could easily overcome Annie because he's possessed and the ghosts/spirits are on his side. Now, if we put Jack in Annie's home I'd say that he would be scared because he'd be a normal guy. However, paying attention to Jack's personalty both in the book and the film he seems like a person who is a little unstable so if provoked I think he could still overcome Annie. Then again, she could always drug is drink but I think Jack is a stronger character both physically and mentally (to a point).

Don't totally dismiss her there though; as a nurse she's probably had to lug injured bodies around.
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ

didn't Bates win an Oscar for her portrail(sp)?
and yes Jack won one earlier in a film about his char in a mental insitution...wait, I'll change my vote! Jack had more room to work with - over the hotel itself, the grounds (including the freaky maze) wanting to off his family and had to lug that awkward ax around - has anyone tried to pick one of those things up??? They're heavy man! exdev:yes the sledgehammer is not a cakewalk either but she *only* had to swing it "once"

true true, but she is pretty strong for a woman.

Mr. Briggs Inc. Wrote:Don't totally dismiss her there though; as a nurse she's probably had to lug injured bodies around. It's really based on whether the fight takes place in their own element. Still, I find Jack to be a lot more improvisational when it comes to finding weapons.

I'm sort of leaning more towards the fact that the hotel made him think that he had "hair of the dog." I feel that if that were true it would only add to the power the hotel possesses.
