I don't think I would know whether to laugh or be terrified if I saw the Regnah Hanger in my home. This hanger instantly conjures up the iconic image of Jack Nicholson hacking his way through a wooden door in the [horror classic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scent-of-a-nightmare) 'The Shining.'

The Regnah Hanger apparently even gets its name from the classic film -- ragnah being hanger spelled backwards. This hanger is perfect for [hanging coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multi-hanger) and keys and is a must-have for [horror movie buffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-coffin).
