What are you dressing up as for Halloween?
What are you dressing up as for Halloween?
This year I'm going as one of the twins from The Shining.
Aldon is going as the iconic carpet from the hallway of the Overlook Hotel. This leads to Room 237...
He got the keychain to put on a brown blazer, the undershirt is the same pattern as the carpet. Possibly a Tricycle hat?
He was almost going to be the carpet from Room 237, but it's not as iconic and maybe people wouldn't recognize it as easily as the main carpet.
"The carpet in The Shining’s Overlook Hotel features prominently in several key scenes, including young Danny’s first unnerving encounter with room 237." filmandfurniture.com
"This dynamic orange, brown and red 1970s pattern has spurned a series of conspiracy theories, such is a geek’s search for meaning, especially where the fastidious and symbol-laden Kubrick is concerned. In fact, so many film theorists have their own takes on The Shining that the potential hidden meaning in Kubrick’s choices are documented in their own film: Room 237 (the hotel room number where much of the grizzly action takes place)."
"In one scene, a ball rolls to Danny along a line on the carpet, and then later the pattern of the carpet has changed, making the hexagon now appear closed. Symbolically this may mean how, like the cars within the hexagon, the ball is trapped and cannot go back the way it came. This could be a reference to historical tragedy, or about the confining nature of the Overlook itself."
Steemians, what are you dressing up as? Any fun themed parties?
My friend and I either are going as Shadowhunters, an emotion from Inside out, Alice and Cheshire Cat, or Jack and Sally from Nightmare before Christmas. We are leaning more towards Alice and Cheshire cat tho.
