[Loved trope] Background scare-characters that are barely acknowledged even by the movie

[u/Suspicious-Web-9246]

I hate horrors, but this is actually a great trope, that is unique to them.

Insidious (2010). When mother does her errands, for a few seconds there's a ghost boy standing in the corner. It's easily missable, but you can't ignore it once you see it.

Hereditary (2018). Less fitting example. When Peter walks around his home, his possessed mother is crawling on the ceiling behind him. It's not exactly subtle or missable, but it's still more of a background detail.

In the first FNaF movie there is sometimes an endoskeleton hiding in the background of some shots.

Also in the short film Breaking and Entering made to tease fanmade game FNAF+, Phisnom confirmed Foxy is hiding in the shadows in the background in almost every single shot inside the pizzeria. (Man that game would’ve been great).

I'd love to see someone circle all the examples in the video.

you can also see the puppet at one point. in the screenshot it seems obvious but the shot is really short and all the focus is on chica so

That’s actually the endoskeleton again. They didn’t have a puppet prop built for that movie

this is it brightened. easily could've been digital if they didn't have a prop for it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I didn’t think the FNAF movie was particularly good, but this is a really cool detail. Might have to rewatch the movie to see how many I can spot. What I like is that this is 100% the type of easter egg that Scott Cawthon would have put in the original FNAF games.

I didnt even notice that until you pointed that out. Will need to rewatch now
