There’s nothing original about these sorts of tributes, which are often indulgent and awkward. But “The Red Drum Getaway” somehow works almost seamlessly. It begins with the voyeuristic Stewart from _Rear Window,_ spying on his buxom neighbor from across the alley, only to find that she has become _The Shining_‘s leering psychotic Jack Torrance. Stewart then wanders out onto the streets of San Francisco, where he encounters Kubrick’s motley crew: Torrance again; the droogs from _A Clockwork Orange;_ Dave Bowman in a spacesuit, from _2001: A Space Odyssey._ From there, he’s sucked into the Kubrickian rabbit hole, which becomes more and more surreal and meta as the video nears its climax. (Spoiler warning: it was all just a dream.) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4079358/kubrick-hitchcock-gump-mashup-tribute/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4079358/kubrick-hitchcock-gump-mashup-tribute/"},"headline":"Watch Stanley Kubrick Meet Alfred Hitchcock in This Trippy Mashup","datePublished":"2015-10-20T08:43:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:26:10.282Z","description":"It's dark, it's surreal, and it works perfectly","url":"https://time.com/4079358/kubrick-hitchcock-gump-mashup-tribute/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","viral","Hollywood","cinema"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nash Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4079358/kubrick-hitchcock-gump-mashup-tribute/","name":"Watch Stanley Kubrick Meet Alfred Hitchcock in This Trippy Mashup"}}]}] ```
