Description: Who isn't spooked by The Shining? When the audience first sees the creepy Grady twins standing at the end of that long hallway in front of Danny on his tricycle, it's one of the weirdest and greatest moments in cinema. One of my signature art styles is to superimpose two images over each other, which I did here with the iconic carpet pattern in the hallways of the Overlook Hotel over the silhouette of our young hero, Danny Torrance.
Description: Danny Torrance has a vision of the word REDRUM appearing on a wall, where it then transforms into the word MURDER, directly below the word REDRUM. He is aware of this as he saw this in a vision prior to arriving at the Overlook Hotel. His first vision is of the hotel, where "a single word appeared in green fire ... REDRUM". Tony also shows Danny the word “REDRUM” “flashing off and on” in the bathroom mirror and the word murder is not seen in a mirror. Murder is seen in the reflection of “a huge clock in a glass bowl materialized in front of [the bathroom mirror]”.
