Though it’s packed with unnerving moments from start to finish, viewers of The Shining may remember the ghost of Delbert Grady telling Jack Torrance that he must “correct” his wife and child as a particularly creepy scene, and next year fans of the film can see Delbert’s suggestion mixed with dancing and humor onstage in a musical theater parody of Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror classic.
If you enjoyed Stephen King’s 1977 novel, The Shining, have watched Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film adaptation of the same name multiple times, or enjoyed watching horror and humor melded in a live show like Evil Dead The Musical, then you may want to check out the upcoming Redrum: The Unauthorized Musical Parody of The Shining. Set to hit the stage sometime next fall, the musical parody made an onstage sneak peek performance on Wednesday night.

New Delhi, April 22: The soaring temperature calls for new hair styles and British hair expert Bill Watson suggests Indian women be more bold with cuts and colours.
He has been to various Indian cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai and the national capital, and says that he hasn't seen "massive mistakes" when it comes to hairdos. His only complaint is that Indian women like to play it safe.
"Indian women are beautiful. They have great bone structure. There are more options in haircuts than they realise," Watson, International Artistic Designer, Toni&Guy, which has five flagship salons in Delhi/Ncr and plan to.

Is "The Shining" just a horror movie about a guy who goes berserk in a hotel, or is it subversively about the history of American genocide? Why did Stanley Kubrick use cans of Calumet and Tang in the hotel's storeroom? Were these just random products, or were they each chosen and framed in the camera with a specific intent? And what's the deal with the Bill Watson? If you think you know "The Shining," guess again, as Rodney Ascher's outstanding "Room 237" goes down the rabbit hole of the meanings and interpretations of the horror classic, from the plausible to the outlandish. In what surely pushes the limits of fair use, "Room 237" cuts together not only footage from "The Shining," but from every Kubrick film along with countless other works (ranging from Mario Bava to Alfred Hitchock to classic Disney cartoons), strings it all together, and pairs it...

Room 237 is a documentary that presents five people who have spent a great deal of time scrutinizing every frame of Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of The Shining for hidden meaning.
And oh what hidden meanings they’ve found. Bill Blakemore—who, based on his credentials as a foreign and domestic correspondent for ABC, might seem otherwise credible—thinks the film is an allegory about the genocide of the American Indians. The Overlook is, after all, built on an Indian burial ground. He believes that a can of Calumet baking powder with an Indian head on the label supports his theory and the way the can is turned in different scenes indicates the characters’ veracity.
Historian Geoffrey Cocks, who has published books about Nazi Germany, uses the proliferation of the number 42 and the fact that Jack’s typewriter is German as evidence that the movie is about the Holocaust, which...

The Shining has both terrified and puzzled fans since its release in 1980. Now a documentary explores the many mysteries of Stanley Kubrick's psycho-horror
Original viewers of The Shining sat down to watch a psychological horror movie about a man who holes up inside a snowbound hotel, loses his marbles and tries to kill his family. Three decades later, the joke's on them; they read the whole thing wrong. The Shining is actually a Holocaust movie in disguise. Scratch that: The Shining is, in fact, Stanley Kubrick's version of Theseus and the labyrinth. No, wait: it's his veiled apology for helping Nasa fake the moon-landings, or a vast history lesson in human evil, from the dawn of man to the end of time. If there were ever a film to send the viewer mad, The Shining fits the bill.
Director Rodney Ascher estimates that he used only 10% of the...
