The boy in the Shining keeps
saying "Radrum" while walking through the empty
hotel.
Word used in the novel "The Shining" by Stephen
King and in the movie based on it and directed by Stanley Kubrick. "Murder" spelt backwards. Also works on many other levels, being suggestive of bloodshed, wrath, inebriation, violence, a force that consumes people's lives like some satisfying drink, and
something used to subdue the Native
American tribes that form a subtext of the film.
