Description: The Gold Room, or The Gold Ballroom is a large ballroom contained within the Overlook Hotel. The Red Bathroom is attached to the Gold Room. In the book, it was named The Colorado Lounge. The original name was used for the 1980 film's sitting room, which is a room where guests can relax and read or chat. The Gold Room is presumed to be the most haunted room in the hotel, besides Room 217/237.
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: The Colorado Lounge is a large room inside of the Overlook Hotel. The Colorado Lounge is based on the similarly themed Great Lounge in the Ahwahnee Hotel. The Colorado Lounge was filmed at Stage 3 at Elstree Studios. The set required 700,000 volts of electricity to power the set. On January 24, 1979, the heat from the voltage caused the set to catch fire, which also caught Stage 3 on fire, burning it to the ground. It was later rebuilt the same year.
