Among the many mysteries at The Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s movie The Shining, are some ghostly video games. Despite the scene being cut from the final film, like many of the other things that have happened at the hotel, they’ve left some traces behind, kind of like burnt toast. People who shine, or at least, are extremely nerdy, can find the crumbs that have been left and discover the truth about The Games Room.
