Look at Wendy's cigarette ash and her nervous reaction to the doctor's questions, until she convinces the doctor (or herself) that it was just an accident. Also, Danny and Holla fan's hands when eating ice cream - when their emotional state is awful guarded, they pull them in close like a shield for protection.
I've not noticed the hands on the skeleton before. I believe there's two version of the film, one with the skeletons and one without, or at least there are differences. And you know with the hands of the guy in the interview. Reminds me of a dog, and there's a dog costume (it's NOT a bear) during the film. I reckon he's in the costume.
I believe that in the U.S. version Kubrick showed the skeletons and he cut it out for the Europe version. The dog costume was in the book and you can see a dog collar in the back ground with the two men one in costume. Great points. Have a great day and thank you so very much for watching and commenting.

The whole movie is just vibes. It shows just a few brief movements of violence and horror but you’re completely unnerved from the beginning. I think the abstract feeling of terror is why so many people see so many different things in this movie.
Great video, Kelly. The scene with Ullman's hands in the interview is definitely NOT normal. It almost feels like that whole thing was a ceremony initiating Jack as the new caretaker. Each of those hand signals means something. There is a part where is is talking about Grady killing his family and Ullman has a thumbs up sign that he constantly covers and waves over with the other hand. Very strange. It did always surprise me how Jack had no emotional change or reaction at all regarding the Grady Murder story.
@2:20 Those are the wrinkles in the skeleton's slacks which are very prominent because of the extreme lighting, and as it's a skeleton, there's a lot of excess fabric making the wrinkles more prominent themselves. I think you may have thought you're seeing hands because hands are very expressive, like the face, and humans have something called pareidolia, were we tend to see faces (or other meaningful images) in objects or patterns.
In the novel, Jack complained about Ullman's hands in his mind. He noticed that they were powdered. I assume Jack was belittling Ullman in his mind as a homosexual or pantry waste.
That’s such an interesting detail from the novel! Jack’s internal monologue about Ullman’s powdered hands really shows how much he’s looking for reasons to belittle and dismiss others-it’s a peek into Jack’s toxic mindset. I agree, it could be Jack making a judgment about Ullman’s perceived effeminacy, as a way to feel superior. Kelly
Ullman holds his hands like a kangaroo's hands during the interview. Look, the kangaroo is hiding its baby in its belly. So Ullman actually hid from Jack that there had once been a brutal murder in that hotel. Ullman would never have told Jack about it, so Jack would have agreed to stay there for the winter.
