Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining turns 45 this year, and Mattel is celebrating with a re-release of Monster High’s Grady Twins Skullector dolls.
The Grady Twins, previously released in 2020, are back on sale on November 13, 2025, at 9 am PT.
Mattel previews, “Inspired by legendary horror film The Shining and reimagined through a scary-cool Monster High filter, these collectible Grady Twins dolls feature killer looks with tons of film-inspired details. Each twin doll wears a blue babydoll dress with a dotted print, lace trim, sheer sleeves, and a pleated bodice. Gore-geous details include a hatchet hair accessory, sheer stockings, and a pair of platform Mary Janes with hedge maze-inspired heels.”

In the film, writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), a former alcoholic, accepts a job as the winter caretaker for a hotel high in the Rocky Mountains, isolating him, his wife (Shelley Duvall), and their psychic young son until spring. But when the first blizzard blocks the only road out, the hotel’s stored energy from evil past deeds begins to drive Jack insane… and there may be no escape for his family in this haunting story of madness, memory, and violence.
The Grady Twins, played by Lisa and Louise Burns, were among the Overlook Hotel’s ghostly residents.
