About Grady Twins
The Grady Twins, also known as the “ghostly twins” or “the girls in the blue dresses,” are two of the most iconic characters from Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 classic horror film, “The Shining.” Based on the novel by Stephen King, the film follows the story of the Torrance family as they move into the isolated Overlook Hotel for the winter season. The Grady Twins are portrayed by real-life twins Lisa and Louise Burns.
These mysterious characters are the daughters of Delbert Grady, the hotel’s former caretaker who, in a fit of madness, murdered his wife and two daughters before taking his own life. The Grady Twins are spirits haunting the hotel, and they appear to the Torrance family’s young son, Danny, who possesses psychic abilities known as “the shining.”
