When director and writer [Jordan Peele](http://time.com/4672987/jordan-peele-get-out/)‘s very excellent horror film [_Get Out_](http://time.com/4680563/get-out-movie-review/)debuted earlier this year, its prescient symbolism and social commentary spawned dozens of [fan theories online](https://www.buzzfeed.com/erinchack/things-you-may-have-missed-in-get-out?utm%5Fterm=.whWn2BMzV#.xcqGEJjXn) ranging from serious to outlandish.

Now, in a video segment for [_Vanity Fair_](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/12/say-hello-to-jordan-peele-greta-gerwig-and-our-awards-extrav), Peele addresses the theories head-on, and in doing so, confirmed that he paid homage to Stanley Kubrick’s legendary horror film [_The Shining_](http://entertainment.time.com/2012/07/31/the-shining-prequel-horror-classic-may-get-backstory/)with an Easter egg hidden in a scene in _Get Out_.

Responding to Reddit user [BonnieLinnette](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/5vv1qh/official%5Fdiscussion%5Fget%5Fout%5Fspoilers/) who queried Peele about a scene where an announcement is made in the background for “Flight 237,” which she noted is the same number as the most haunted room number in _The Shining_. In response, Peele confirmed that the film’s use of the number is no coincidence.

“That’s right, that’s what we call a little Easter egg for the Kubrick fans, really easy one to do,” Peele said.
