The article also points out the significance of the number of the beast: There's also speculations about the film's many backwards running timepieces, all of which suggest that time has essentially stopped in the Overlook. as the black curtain scene is bookended by two scenes showing Danny talking to Tony in the bathroom mirror and immediately precedes Danny’s vision of the bloody elevator, it functions as an omen, once broken, that seals the occupant’s doom.” “During the scene in which Jack telephones Wendy to tell her he’s got the job at the Overlook Hotel, a black curtain is seen covering the entrance, tucked behind a radiator … when the Torrances are first introduced to their quarters, the living room curtain the living room from the bedroom. Where to start with this one? Most of The Shining's deliberately embedded symbols are pretty much common knowledge among cinephiles at this point, and the film's many cryptic allusions have even inspired an award-winning documentary, Room 237. According to the Sundance blog, however, there are a few items that aren't discussed (quite) as often as some of the movie's more iconic mysteries: During the scene in which the children lick the allegedly candy-flavored snozberry wallpaper in the chocolate factory, it was really flavored like an old Irish playwright's.

Author Roald Dahl was brilliantly witty, and no stranger to lewd humor. One of his most famous acts of ribaldry involved a plot detail from his adult novel My Uncle Oswald sneaking into 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (which was, of course, based on his equally beloved series of books).
