30 Easter Eggs and Behind-the-Scenes Facts About ‘The Shining’ That Were Harder to Find Than the Exit to A Hedge Maze

All facts and no play make Jack a bright boy!

Crack open a cold bottle of red rum and sit down for a nice hearty batch of Shining Easter eggs. 

Well, unfortunately for us, the eggs themselves weren’t shining. That would’ve made them a lot easier to find. Instead, we had to sift through a pretty dark movie, and we didn’t realize how hard it is to focus when you’re utterly terrified. 

Anywho, we somehow made it out of this one alive, and wanted to spare you the terror by just displaying these here for you. You’re welcome.
