American Horror Story: Wondering Why the Hotel Cortez's Carpet Looks Familiar?

Stanley Kubrick's classic 1980 horror hit prominently features a carpet emblazoned with a hexagonal pattern in red, orange, and brown. The Hotel Cortez's carpet is not an exact match to the Overlook Hotel's, but it's simply too similar too ignore. Plus, when we asked creator Brad Falchuk about Hotel drawing comparisons to The Shining, he admitted that they were planning to put their own own "spin" on certain horror triggers from the movie. Coincidence? I think not.
