Answer:  SHINING STAR

(Great movie pun!  I loved The Shining.  Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers and Jack!  Scary stuff.  REDRUM, REDRUM, REDRUM!  I’m going to say no new clue words today.  If I’m wrong, I’m wrong.  It’s late, and I’m tired.  All of the jumbles appear to be new.  Great job with the answer letter layout.  Nothing given away.  And, another great Jeff Knurek cartoon.  I can just see Jack taking an axe to the door, and poking his head in.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
