Seth Meyers uses 'The Shining' to parody Trump family lockdown

Ever wondered what life might be like for the Trumps under lockdown in the White House in Washington D.C.? Seth Meyers' Late Night team has an idea.

But while the animated sketch above might look a bit like The Simpsons, the story it tells has way more in common with The Shining — including a "Redrum" reference and Trump repeatedly typing "All play and no work makes Don the greatest."

Scary stuff, in every possible sense.
