Twins from The Shining look unrecognizable 45 years on - see the incredible photos
May 5, 2025

The pair were just 11 years old when they filmed their scene for The Shining

It’s one of the most unforgettable moments in cinematic history: two identical girls in blue dresses, hand in hand, standing silently in a blood-soaked hallway. "Come and play with us, Danny," they whisper in unison, and with that, a horror legacy was born.
The Grady twins from The Shining may have only appeared in a single scene, but their chilling presence left an indelible mark on popular culture.
Nearly 45 years since Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 masterpiece first terrified audiences, the real-life twins behind the haunting image, Lisa and Louise Burns, have carved out lives far removed from the Hollywood spotlight, but remain figures in the horror community.
Now in their mid-50s, Lisa and Louise are unrecognizable as the twins who haunted young Danny Torrance in the halls of the Overlook Hotel.

And although they’ve long since stepped away from acting, the duo continue to embrace their spooky past, sharing updates and fond memories with fans on their joint Facebook page, The Shining Twins.
"Every day felt like we’d been invited to a very exclusive party," they once said in an interview with Daily Mail. "And we were the youngest, luckiest people to be there."
