Redrumed

To be overtaken or consumed by violent or destructive impulses, often with a loss of identity or moral clarity.

Derived from "redrum" (a reversal of "murder," popularized by The Shining by Stephen King), with "-ed" to form the past tense. Conveys horror, psychological unraveling, or supernatural influence.
