Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark pays homage to The Shining

Guillermo del Toro honors Stanley Kubrick in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019). We have two allusions to The Shining (1980), with a R.E.D. Room and the Pale Lady, seen frequently roaming the end of corridors.

(Top left) The Grady Twins become the Pale Lady (top right), while REDRUM (bottom left) becomes the Records & Evaluation Dept. (bottom right) – the same direction as the Boiler House.
