I am in no way a horror movie or book fan. I avoid them at all cost, which is difficult to do when my wife and daughters love them.
My youngest has been bugging me to do another horror nook ever since I made the IT Pennywise nook for her a while back. She has been suggesting The Shining as a theme. I watched that movie with friends when it came out, and hated it! I didn't want to watch it again, no way! So I went to YouTube and found three possibilities: The hallway twin scene, the old lady bathroom scene, or the bloody elevator scene. The least difficult scene, because I lacked figures and my sculpting abilities are less than adequate, was the elevator.

| Sorry for no radiator construction photos. They are made from popsicle sticks |
 |
| I made a mockup wall and elevator doors with logos to squeeze the paintable silicone "blood" out of the door, swirling it up with a toothpick to simulate the turbulance in the movie |

| It turned out pretty good |
