Why is a copy of C.G. Jung’s Red Book on Ullman’s Table in the Interview section of The Shining?
How was there even a copy available at the time (circa. 1980)? In fact, there couldn’t have been.
Given the prominence of Red in The Shining already highlighted here, the Red Book in all its facets may become super important.
Aha! A mention of Jung’s Red Book in The Shining, *before* it was published. The blog post compares it to the similarly red “Catcher in the Rye” book, seen in the scene prior to this. Super!

Hello, I’m the author of the Overlap Hotel blog. I followed your link here. Yes, it’s fascinating that Ullman has a copy of The Red Book in his office. I actually just finished reading it recently, and to go into how much it influenced The Shining would take an entire blog to cover. Most noteworthy is the giant rivers of blood Jung envisioned in the weeks leading up to WWI.
Great blog, I’ve enjoyed reading through it so far. Great to meet a fellow Kubrick researcher.
Thanks!
Thanks Woslo! I’ve created a couple of posts just tonight inspired by reading your blog. I came across this, then

and was reminded of how things return over and over again. Our little group was doing this in the late 90s/early 2000s, before Youtube. We met primarily on a place called the Syncboard. And I still create these things, just not 1:1 film/album matches any more.
Thanks again! I’ll keep reading… 🙂
