Ghost take inspiration from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining in freaky new video
Episode 7 of Ghost’s ongoing video series shows that all work and no play makes Papa a bad dad

Ghost have released the seventh episode in their ongoing video series.
The latest clip starts with a black and white round-up of what’s gone before – and then takes an unsettling twist as it apes Stanley Kubrick’s classic 1977 horror film The Shining, which was based on the Stephen King novel.
Rather than young Danny Torrance trundling through an empty hotel on his tricycle, the Ghost version sees Cardinal Copia speeding around corridors on his trike.
Meanwhile, Papa Nihil seems to be losing his grip on reality – much like the film’s Jack Torrance played by Jack Nicholson – and he has a strange encounter with Sister Imperator.
There’s even a pair of eerie twins awaiting somewhere in the building.
The four-minute clip is said to “lay the foundation for more backstory secrets yet to be revealed” and is titled New World Redro.
