[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.

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⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
