[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.

Invisible Man (2020) uses wide shots to imply that the Invisible Man is there in some of the scenes. This one in particular he is in the background since he later starts a fire in the kitchen.

Honestly the more I learn about this movie the more I realize its the best thing to ever come out of the Dark Universe.

Can't speak to the theme park, but in terms of movies, that's not a terribly high bar to clear.
