Did "Redrum" Originate With King?

From the list provided in the article, it appears that The Shining is the ealiest use of "redrum." Is this correct? If so, should the article make the origination with King clear? The extremely creepy nature of the book and movie are, I think, the reason that "redrum" has become ingrained in pop culture. 68.83.140.156 00:03, 14 May 2006 (UTC)essex9999

I think that this is the origin, too. Anybody against a change in this direction? Sergeyy 13:17, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Wouldnt redrum dog be 'god murder' not 'murder god'? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.218.144.63 (talkcontribs) 12.218.144.63.

Yes, it would. I've changed the article. -Phoenixrod 18:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Timesplitters Reference

Just wondering, is the timesplitters reference in the article meant to say "RUDREM"? of course this would come out as MERDUR, not MURDER as the vowels are swapped. Haven't played the game, so I don't want to edit this in case it's deliberate. Somebody confirm? Nic the Man 12:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DROOM

The Dutch word for murder is 'moord'. When spelled backwards, it says 'droom', which means dream. -- Face 23:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] tattoo reference under Films

"Redrum is a common tattoo amongst killers which signifies the act of killing another human being." unsourced and out of place in the films section. 216.234.58.18 19:17, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
