[QotD] June 18, 2009: That’s one slant on it

TODAY’S QUESTION

PREVIOUSLY

That question, again: In the movie version of The Shining, Jack Nicholson goes after his family (and Scatman Crothers) with an axe. But not in the book. What piece of sporting equipment is his weapon of choice in the Stephen King novel?

The Overlook Hotel has a roque court, and Mr. Torrance makes use of a roque mallet during his would-be homicidal rampage.
