What's the matter, honey?
My nephew has a set of magnetic fridge letters. Whenever my sister leaves me in charge of her bouncing bundle of fun, for some reason the letters, R, E, D, R, U, and M appear in some sort of sequence on the fridge door.

My protestations of innocence fall on deaf ears. My sister refuses to believe that her house is really the Overlook Hotel and that her son is channelling its malevolent spirit. She claims I'm the one doing it all.

Or it's channelling the spirit of a racehorse
Shergar, obviously.

Silly! It's Redrum!
That's what he means!

Er, I think it was a "The Shining" reference... ?
REDRUM being MURDER backwards

Or am I missing the irony here?

No Redrum was a racing horse.

It was indeed.
No, you're not missing any irony.

My sister was reet scared by The Shining, hence my nephew's (and not mine at all, oh no) insistence on spelling "redrum" on the fridge.
