Single typewritten page used in the The Shining, filled with the repeated phrase “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” The box of paper that Wendy flips though in the film is located in the Stanley Kubrick Archive in London. About one-third of the stack was manually typed; the remainder was photocopied. There are also additional boxes in other languages.

In the Internet era, what seems most sinister about this page is that Jack uses two spaces between sentences. DON’T BE LIKE JACK.
