Ghost bring ‘The Shining’ alive among the dead in hilarious video
Ghost have been intricately developing their various characters through a series of webisodes, and their latest pays homage to horror classic The Shining.
The video, titled “Chapter Seven: New World Redro,” starts its references to the film right when you click, captioning the post with a clever reference.

The caption reads “[MESSAGE FROM THE CLERGY] We wish to inform you all work and no play makes Papa…” which is as obvious a reference as you could make.
During the video, Cardinal Copia can be seen riding a tricycle through hallways just like the main character’s child. Papa Nihil can also be seen using a typewriter while speaking to himself.
Eventually, Cardinal Copia turns a corner to find a pair of spooky twins at the end of the hallway. You can check out the full video in the player below.
