NOTE: Although the end level stats say there are 17 total secrets, there are 19 available secrets in the level (instances where the game displays the message "A SECRET IS REVEALED").
- In the hedge maze, there's a small pillar, near two Bloated Butchers, that will lift you to the top of the maze. Jump over the hedges to get to the secret. Reward: Box of flares

[edit] Tomes
In order to access the secret level, E2M9: Thin Ice, you must collect five tomes. This will create a teleporting fog in the room where the Moon Key is found. The tomes are located either in plain sight or in secrets. No talley is provided by the game if you pick these up. however a triangle mark appears on the floor of the Moon Key room for each tome collected.
- Near the Spider Key
- Near the Dagger Key
- Behind the bookshelf in one of the bedrooms (secret)
- In a hidden room near the library (secret)
- In the library on top of a bookshelf (secret)
[edit] Fun Stuff
See also: References in Blood
- This level is named after the hotel in the movie The Shining. Although they are both hotels, there are no other similar attributes (the hotel in the movie does not have a secret passage central to the plot).
- The Blood Team released Weekly Blood Development Updates on the 3D Realms website, and said this about this level:
- Update: 11/18/96: The second, unnamed level will take you to a hotel suspiciously reminiscent of the Overlook from Stephen King's The Shining. Kevin will probably keel over when he sees what Craig has done to it (if he does, rest assured we'll take pictures of him lying unconscious and post them on our website).
- Update: 11/25/96: Craig continued work on Kevin's alpine hotel level and started a war-torn city map tentatively titled "The Siege" for the registered version
