[Video] Fun Theory Connects Pennywise to the Overlook Hotel in ‘The Shining’
What if Pennywise *doesn’t* actually go into hiding for 27 years, as the characters in IT believe? What if he just spends that time… in places other than Derry, Maine?
It’s no secret that most of Stephen King’s horror stories are connected in some way, shape or form, sometimes very directly and other times only tangentially. Two of those tales that are connected to one another are IT and The Shining, most notably through the character of Dick Hallorann appearing in both stories.
Hallorann is a main character in The Shining, the cook at the Overlook, while he’s mentioned in IT as the survivor of a night club fire; he saved the life of Mike Hanlon’s dad!
This new theory from Film Theory convincingly connects IT and The Shining to an even greater extent, suggesting that maybe the members of the Losers’ Club have the ability to shine. After all, Hallorann appearing in both stories suggests that “shining” exists in the IT universe… and most of the kids do seem to have that ability themselves.
So then, could that mean that the interdimensional being known as “IT” is actually the force behind the events of The Shining? If nothing more, it’s fun to imagine!
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
