The Overlook Hotel is the overarching antagonist of the 2019 Doctor Sleep fanfic The Resurrection of Rose based exclusively on the film adaptation of the Stephen King novel.
In this version, the Overlook is a hugely eldritch demonic force of evil that was responsible for the events of Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining driving several families insane until it was finally destroyed by Danny Torrance overheating the boiler. However, a revived Rose the Hat resurrects the Overlook to offer it a deal in her scheme to get revenge on Abra Stone and Danny for her death in the film. They would work together until they are eventually pushed into their own black hole ultimately getting an ax caved into their skull by Jack Torrance.
What Makes It Pure Evil?[]
- When the physical structure was built, the Overlook entity forced the owner into a deal where the hotel would be prosperous in the summer months but come winter, he would have to provide it with sacrifices.
- It drove hundreds of families to the brink of insanity in which the caretaker inevitably killed their families and themselves. It would then trap their souls within its dimension to feed on their Shining for eternity.
- It agrees to help Rose get her revenge but requests her to provide it with food. When Rose offers up Lester, it sadistically devours him rather than simply stealing the steam from inside him.
- It possesses Abra into killing her own mother thus orphaning her.
- When it explains to Rose that she lost to her archenemy in every universe, it assists Rose in creating a huge black hole meant to seep into the other realities to ultimately destroy them.
