It's sorta that for me too, in that I think Jack is a self-deluded person to begin with, so it's not a far slide even in the book. But part of creepiness in the book is that Jack's toxic and abusive behavior had been normalized to the family so much that neither they nor Jack (and to some extent the audience) could tell when it turned into a type of possession, and Nicholson basically played that as static.

Then I hate how Kubrick characterized Wendy and Hallorann, and I don't think he understood or cared about the tone of the original, so.
