Talk:Redrum

Chaotic discussions with varying degrees of Resolution

While I will not be so bold as to lie and say these older section (each, now "demoted" one indent-level) and IIRC, some a half-decade neglected, and more for at least a full decade: Tho some may be irreversibly moribund, others may be redeemable as continuing concerns.
I am about to revive a few, in new top-level sections (of course below, on the page, this one), in which I intend to comment, with a link, upon the corresponding old discussions, before adding new comments in its corresponding new sections, and ... well, res ipse loquitur should help enormously.

Did "Redrum" originate with King?

From the list provided in the article, it appears that The Shining is the earliest use of "redrum." Is this correct? If so, should the article make the origination with King clear? The extremely creepy nature of the book and movie are, I think, the reason that "redrum" has become ingrained in pop culture. 68.83.140.156 00:03, 14 May 2006 (UTC)essex9999[reply]

I think that this is the origin, too. Anybody against a change in this direction? Sergeyy 13:17, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There was a horse called Red Rum back in 1965. There is an article on WikiPedia on the horse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Rum — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:281:8000:1B99:34BE:B79D:FBC:AD91 (talk) 02:43, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it would. I've changed the article. -Phoenixrod 18:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Umm. "Redrum" is a plot device for various works? A plot device for what works (other than The Shining) . . .? Geof23 (talk) 00:20, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Francesc Miralles mentions it and uses a variation on his Retrum series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miqnp (talk • contribs) 17:42, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Timesplitters reference

Just wondering, is the timesplitters reference in the article meant to say "RUDREM"? of course this would come out as MERDUR, not MURDER as the vowels are swapped. Haven't played the game, so I don't want to edit this in case it's deliberate. Somebody confirm? Nic the Man 12:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Droom

The Dutch word for murder is 'moord'. When spelled backwards, it says 'droom', which means dream. -- Face 23:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tattoo reference under Films

"Redrum is a common tattoo amongst killers which signifies the act of killing another human being." unsourced and out of place in the films section. 216.234.58.18 19:17, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia dump

At present almost all of this article is a dump of media occurrences of "redrum" that are not cited to published media analysis. This constitutes original research and I am therefore replacing the article with a disambiguation stub. WillOakland (talk) 02:38, 1 November 2008 (UTC) ≈[reply]

Discussions perhaps worth reviving from the preceding top-level talk-section
