# Movie Scene Time-Tellers The Shining Cuckoo Clock by Chris Dimino is Iconic By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shining-cuckoo-clock References: [ohgizmo](http://www.ohgizmo.com/2010/03/11/shining-cuckoo-clock/) & [designhead.net](http://designhead.net/cdimino/) Although I only watched this cult classic once before, the scene depicted in the Shining Cuckoo Clock has stayed with me til this very day. Perhaps one of the [scariest moments in cinematic history](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-coffin), I don't know if I'll want this clock in my house. Designed by Chris Dimino, I hazard a tentative guess that the Shining Cuckoo Clock will only be purchased either by die-hard 'Shining'/Jack Nicholson fans, or very disturbed individuals. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cult Classic Merchandise:** Opportunity for creating unique and niche merchandise based on iconic scenes in cult classic movies. - **Creepy Home Decor:** Disruptive opportunity to design and market unconventional and eerie home decor items to appeal to a specific consumer segment. - **Nostalgic Pop Culture Products:** Innovation potential in developing products that leverage nostalgia and popular culture references to attract dedicated fans and collectors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film and Entertainment Merchandising:** Opportunity for film and entertainment companies to license and produce unique merchandise items based on iconic movie scenes. - **Home Decor and Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation potential in creating unconventional and peculiar home decor products to cater to niche consumer preferences. - **Collectibles and Memorabilia:** Opportunity to tap into the market of dedicated fans and collectors by developing niche products that evoke nostalgia and fandom. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surrealist-Inspired Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-clock.md) - [Chic Modern Cuckoo Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-cuckoo-clock1.md) - [Shooting Target Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clockwerk-target-clocks.md) - [Collaboration Film-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zodiac-x-rowing-blazers-watch.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md) - [Pixelated Flip-Style Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok.md) - [Horror-Themed Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-stays-club.md) - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Two-Sided Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corner-clock.md)
