The Big Picture Stanley Kubrick's 1980 adaptation of The Shining is as beautiful as it is terrifying. It's filled with visually stunning images that have haunted viewers for decades, from the elevator spilling a torrent of blood to the slow zoom-in of Jack Nicholson's spaced-out stare. Possibly the most enduring of these images is that of two girls, the "Grady Twins," standing together, holding hands, at the end of a hallway.
One of the visions Danny sees in The Shining is of the two Grady girls, daughters of the former caretaker who murdered them, his wife, and himself. Grady's creepy daughters have a much more prominent role in the Kubrick movie than in the novel. In the movie, they appear to Danny as both a warning and a terrifying enticement from the hotel, telling him to "come and play with ." Their appearance is one of the most memorable moments from the film.
Now, it's possible that the two girls aren't the Grady daughters at all and are two completely different ghosts, as one fan theory supposes. However, the visual language of The Shining sets them up as the Gradys, as they are two young girls shown lying bloody next to an ax, which fits the description of the Grady family's death. In addition, Delbert Grady's ghost speaks with a British accent, and so do the girls.
