murder backwards; as
seen in The Shining
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.
