Distinctly scary twins

Two sisters, dressed in an identical manner. Long white socks, matching boots, pale blue dresses with a pink ribbon tied around their waists and shoulder length hair; they appear on the roof top garden at the hospital.

They are on a scavenger hunt which calls for a costume and are dressed as the Grady twins/sisters from The Shining. I’ve seen The Shining and although I found it a very creepy and unsettling movie I do not have the faintest recollection of the Grady twins.  Even today when I watch a couple of videos on YouTube I have no recollection. When I watched the movie I think I saw the Grady twin’s appearance as a figment of a deeply disturbed Danny’s imagination.

These two girls are having the time of their life and one of them has the Grady look perfected. A photo of the city from the garden rooftop – a selfie, of course – might just give them the edge on a cityscape from an unusual place. Their next task is to find a Clydesdale horse. They see the Collingwood Children’s farm as a possibility but I wouldn’t count on that.  Cows, goats, sheep, pigs and horses are often in residence but a real live Clydesdale? You might be disappointed girls.


In character, they wave, chorus ‘Goodbye’ and vanish back through the cafĂ©.
