8 MIND-BLOWING Horror Movie Details That Give Away Character Secrets

The world of horror movies has played host to some of the greatest characters in cinema

history over the years. Fans of these characters and others might think they know all there

is to know about some of the most iconic personas, but there's always more lurking beneath

the surface. Viewers may not have been able to see these clues the first time around, but

the fact that they are hiding in plain sight only adds more incentive to watch some of the

greatest films again and again and again. With that in mind I'm Adam from WhatCulture

and here are tiny horror movie details that give away character secrets

Moreau's Blowhole, The Island of Dr Moreau Originally a novel by H.G. Wells, The Island of Dr Moreau is a classic sci-fi tale about

a mad scientist who fuses human beings and animals together to form bizarre hybrids

It's that treehouse of horror segment on The Simpsons where Marge turns into a sexy

puma. The story has been filmed a few times over the years, but the one we're talking

about is the 1996 adaptation starring legendary Marlon Brando in the title role. This was

one of the Godfather star's final films and he clearly wanted to make an impact on it. He suggested

multiple strange changes be made to the story, including one that would fundamentally change

his character's story. Brando wanted it to be revealed that Moreau himself was a hybrid

by showing him with a dolphin's blowhole on top of his head. Why did he want to do this? No idea

but even when the director said no, he still worked the idea into his performance

Throughout the movie, Brando's Moreau is never seen without a hat. This had to be a decision on

Brando's part in an effort to preserve his own insane headcanon. Jay's Grandfather, It Follows

It Follows came out in 2014 and tells the story of an entity that mercilessly hunts

down its victims before murdering them in a gruesome fashion. The twist

The target of the creature can be changed by having sex with someone or the joys Jay Micah Monroe is a young woman who catches the curse of the entity right at the start of the film Now the curse is an allegory for sexually transmitted infections which don always have obvious symptoms This one Shua does though and one of them is

a weird old naked man staring at you from the roof of a house. Jay is naturally perturbed by the sight of Old Man Wiener, but she's even more put off

because this particular Old Man Wiener is related to her. Earlier in the movie, we see a collection of photos of Jay and her family. In one photo

she has stood with her grandfather, the same man that she sees on the roof

A popular fan theory is that the entity takes on the form of someone who has sexually abused

its victims. If this is true, then it taking on the form of Jay's grandfather reveals an

incredibly dark family secret. Malcolm's Clothes, The Sixth Sense When it comes to the fiction plot twist Mount Rushmore, you've probably got up there

Darth Vader as Luke's dad, the planet of the apes being Earth, Homer Simpson's middle name

actually being Jay and Bruce Willis' character being dead. Okay, one of those was a joke. The

Star Wars one is overrated. The Sixth Sense announced the arrival of director M. Night

Shyamalan in Introduce Cinema goes to the penchant for narrative swerves, for better and for worse

The reveal that Willis' Malcolm Crow is actually just a vision seen by Cole's seer

Haley Joel Osmond, is signposted throughout the movie. Other characters get goosebumps when Malcolm

is near, he only ever speaks to Cole, who can famously see dead people, and the biggest hint

of all Malcom's clothes. They never change throughout the entire movie, despite it taking

place across multiple days. It's never picked up on that a well-respected psychologist is

actually living like a slob, because who cares what clothes a ghost wears. It might seem a little

cliche now, but the Sixth Sense twist is iconic for a reason. It is brilliantly plotted and

absolutely wowed people watching it for the first time. Housekeeper Get Out. Get Out is a fantastic

movie that gives black men even more of an excuse to never meet their white girlfriend family Chris portrayed by outlandishly good Daniel Kaluuya is a black man dating a white woman Rose Alison Williams He nervous about meeting

her parents, as one would expect, but his fears are realized in the worst possible way when his

state at the country house soon turns into a nightmare. Rose's family have been kidnapping

black people and possessing their bodies for generations, and Chris is the next on the list

Clues to their sinister activities are scattered throughout Jordan Peele's excellent debut

including when Rose's father talks about his own mother. When in the kitchen, Dean talks about his

mother Marianne and how she loved this particular room. He flippantly mentions that they keep a

piece of her in there, which seems to refer to the kitchen. What he's actually talking about is

the family's black housekeeper Georgina, who was being possessed by Marianne. It's a hint that only

works in hindsight and a brilliant touch from Peele. Bates birds, psycho. Alfred Hitchcock loved

subverting expectations, didn't he? Directing a movie? Ah, I'll just make a little cameo

he thought. Main character? Bittering her off halfway through, he said with glee

All of that is to say that Hitchcock never liked to play by the rules, but even he wasn't adverse

to using a classic bit of foreshadowing in his works. Take this seemingly inconsequential piece

of dialogue from 1960s Psycho. The well-trodden tale of Norman Bates dressing up as his mother

to knife women in the shower is built around the idea that Bates' mother is watching him at all

times. However, instead of playing a role in her son's killings, she's not playing a role in anything

because she's dead and has been mummified. Norman hints at this when he tells Marion Crane that his

dear old mum is as harmless as one of those stuffed birds whilst pointing at his taxidermy collection

The clues to Mrs. Bates' faith were right there in plain sight, so it's really Marion's own fault

that she got bumped of. How could you not see this? Don't fear the reaper, scream

In movies non sound is sound that does not occur within the fictional world of the film Basically if you can hear the noise but the characters can then it non The term is usually used to refer to music more appropriately a soundtrack or a score In this scene from the classic Slasher movie Scream the soundtrack is basically

yelling right in your face that Billy Loomis is a killer. When the character is first introduced

arriving at his girlfriend Sydney's house shortly after she receives a call from Ghostface

a slow down version of the classic Blue Oyster Cult song Don't Fear the Reaper starts playing

This works on a bunch of levels. One, Ghostface mask can resemble a skeleton head, imagery

usually associated with the Grim Reaper. Secondly, the word DON'T in the title is in parentheses

which means that it can be removed from the sentence. Sydney doesn't fear Billy, but she definitely should, because it turns out he's partly

responsible for all the death and destruction she's about to endure. This is academic level

construction from the Scream Team, which makes it way more than a movie just about people

getting stabbed. The Empty Gun, Saw Another film that's supposedly all about gore

but is actually pretty smart is Saw. Well, the first one anyway. After that it's very

much hit and miss. The film that made the game Mousetrap come with a trigger warning

the original Saw movie opens with two men waking up in a dark room. If that wasn't bad

enough they wake up underwater. If that wasn't bad enough, they're chained to a pipe via

the ankle. If that wasn't bad enough, there's a dead bloke lying in the room with them having

just blown his head off with a revolver. Look, you get the point, it's a grim situation

Actually, one of those statements was a lie, because the guy on the floor isn't actually dead

What he is, is John Kramer, the mastermind behind the elaborate game. Adam and Gordon

Kramer's two captives, should have known that something was awry when they noticed that his

revolver was empty. Revolvers need to have their spent cartridges manually removed

so there should have been something in the chamber from when John fired it. But there wasn't, because John didn't shoot himself. If only Gordon had known this before

he sawed his own foot off. What a silly Billy
