Redrum is murder spelled backward. It is also the name of a new selection of mystery games. I found it at Target. As far as I know, Redrum was not used as a popular term until The Shining. I believe King totally made it up. Interesting to see it appearing on Non-King products.
http://target.com gives the following description:

King made it up like he made up a haunted hotel. Yeah right.
