Here's What 'The Shining' Twins Look Like Now

Here's What 'The Shining' Twins Look Like Now
|

It has been 34 years since the Grady girls first began to haunt us in Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining." So what do the twins look like today? Twitter user @kubrick_fan apparently has some photo evidence for us.

Lisa and Louise Burns were 12 when they filmed their eerie scenes in Stanley Kubrick's horror classic. "Come play with us, Danny -- forever and ever and ever" is a sentence that's burned into our collective conscious. The Burns sisters never returned to the big screen (which was probably best for our nightmares); a 2009 episode of VH1's "Where Are They Now?" about horror movie stars revealed that the former Overlook Hotel dwellers went on to lead normal lives: Lisa earned a degree in literature, and Louise has become a microbiologist.
