The red bathroom hookup was fun to make. There is some debate among analysts at The Shining as to how the Red Bathroom is positioned relative to the Goldroom.
The red bathroom would go right through the bar, judging by the position of the red tapestry.

“The playroom and then toilet sets were built in the Elstree Workshops<\/strong> as all of the soundstages were used.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nGoldroom and Red Bathroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
