My first movie prop attempt: The Shining - Redrum

[NeoAgent]

I've been looking for a decal of 'redrum' from 'The Shining' and could not find one that was acceptable. All the ones I found were either just typed or drawn with blood dripping down and I wanted one as close to screen accurate as I could get. Not sure if anyone here has already done this but I did a searched and came up empty. Since I could not find one I decided give it a try myself. I'm really not sure if the size I have is screen accurate (had to estimate from the screen shot) but I made mine 18" x 5". I took the screen capture, removed all the background and sent the image off to a friend that makes rub-on decals. Below are a couple of images of the final result. I think the red is a little too dark so I may have a new one done with a brighter red.

Does anyone know the actual size of the writing in the movie? Any feedback is welcome.

Here is the screen shot:



Here's a close up of mine in place on a door (not the right door as in the movie but the only one with a mirror close by)

Thanks for looking,
