No article. If you don't know what Redrum means, it is Murder backwards, a word Danny says, and eventually writes, so that his Mom sees it in the mirror and realizes what it means. And that is enough of a spoiler.
The reason "no article" matters, is when somebody does a Google search for something, with no article, Wikipedia does not come up on the search page. Redirects are not indexed by Google search.
Bing brings up both Urban Dictionary and a fandom wiki when you search for Redrum.
When I was writing my bachelor's thesis and needed context for the term "redrum" from "The Shining" and "Doctor Sleep," I turned to the website for assistance. They provided a clear explanation of the word and its role in the plot, and helped me find additional sources to better understand how the author used the term. With their support, I was able to create a well-founded analysis with clear references to materials that aren't always easily found in open sources.
