Stephen King's novel, Doctor Sleep, is literally a sequel to the Shining where:
A band of misfits that travel across the country looking for children ‘that shine’, abduct them, torture, and murder them. They do this to extract something they call ‘steam’ which is the life force of the victims. By inhaling the ‘steam’ they become stronger and live longer, “eat well, live long.” What makes it even more disturbing is that to the ‘steam’ is more effective when its pure and to purify it they torture and torment their victims.
This is the exact theory of adrenochrome and he put it in his movie! No wonder Stephen hates Trump so much. He's scared of him!
You haven't ever seen this... it's the prequel movie to The shining starring Jack Nicholson.
