Helen Reyes Wrote:One rather amazing thing Kubrick, or probably Stephen King, did was to pick up on the children's meme of redrum while it was still current in the first half of the 1970s. It was connected with mirror games such as Bloody Mary and Marco Polo, which involved verbal repititions in darkened rooms to cause an hallucination in a mirror of a bloodied human head. The last link goes into the theme of mirrors in what it calls the glyph language Kubrick invented for The Shining.
