This was the sequel to The Shining so we were asked to recreate several of the original sets. It was such a fun challenge, especially because the budget was very small for what was being asked of us. We had to be very creative on how we were going to execute the original sets so fans would recognize them.

Quote from Gene Serdena in the SDSA article.
"Katie Childs took on the task of finding current day analogs for the pieces most prominently featured in THE SHINING. She had massive wall charts and prints that looked like one of those conspiracy maps you might see on TV with bits of string and marker connecting everything together. Katie’s a bit of a mad scientist when tasked with such projects, and her passion to succeed is unparalleled. She’s a vital part of the team that I carry from project to project."
