The Upper Darby Marching Royals Presents... "ROOM 237"
Welcome to the "Overlook Hotel"where strange things occur. Return to Home Page
Danny: Mr. Hallorann, are you scared of this place?
Hallorann: No. Scared - there's nothin' here. It's just that, you know, some places are like people.
Some 'shine' and some don't. I guess you could say the Overlook Hotel here has somethin' almost like 'shining.'
Danny: Is there something bad here?
Hallorann: Well, you know, Doc, when something happens, you can leave a trace of itself behind.
Say like, if someone burns toast. Well, maybe things that happen leave other kinds of traces behind.
Not things that anyone can notice, but things that people who 'shine' can see. Just like they can see things that
haven't happened yet. Well, sometimes they can see things that happened a long time ago. I think a lot of things
happened right here in this particular hotel over the years. And not all of 'em was good.
Danny: What about Room 237?
Hallorann: Room 237?
Danny: You're scared of Room 237, ain't ya?
Hallorann: No I ain't.
Danny: Mr. Hallorann. What is in Room 237?
Hallorann: Nothin'! There ain't nothin' in Room 237.
But you ain't
got no business goin' in there anyway.
(forcefully)So stay out! You understand? Stay out!
