The Shining is one of those movies that burrows so deep into your brain that decades later you can still quote entire scenes, still hear that tricycle on the carpet, and still picture Jack Nicholson doing his best "here's Johnny" with enough intensity to melt drywall. It is iconic. It is eerie. It is cinematic perfection. And naturally, it has spawned some of the funniest, weirdest, most unhinged memes on the internet.

Because if there is one thing the internet does better than Stanley Kubrick, it is taking something terrifying and turning it into a punchline about WiFi, parenting, or seasonal depression. The Shining has everything meme artists love. Creepy twins. A haunted hotel. An extremely frustrated writer. Snow. Ghost bartenders. A bathtub scene that people never fully recovered from. It is basically a buffet of memeable chaos.

So here are 28 Shining memes you may have… overlooked. Easter eggs, clever references, extremely cursed jokes, and a couple of images that will absolutely make you whisper "Redrum" under your breath without meaning to. Grab your axe, avoid room 237, and prepare to laugh at a movie that was absolutely not meant to be laughed at.
