Random Horror Movie Posters Get Even Creepi (13 items)

• 

  (#1) Gremlins

  • Steven Spielberg, Corey Feldman, Phoebe Cates, Howie Mandel, Frank Welker, Jonathan Banks, Judge Reinhold, Michael Winslow, Harry Carey, Jr., Dick Miller, Zach Galligan, Peter Cullen, Glynn Turman, Robby the Robot, Keye Luke, Hoyt Axton, Scott Brady, Polly Holliday, Frances Lee McCain, Belinda Balaski, Jackie Joseph, Don Steele, John Louie

  It's so hidden, most people wouldn't see it without knowledge of what they're looking for.

  The logo for Amblin Entertainment, the production company behind Gremlins, can be spotted on the fastening button on Billy's jeans. 
• 

  (#2) Halloween

  • Jamie Lee Curtis, Kyle Richards, Donald Pleasence, Sandy Johnson, Charles Cyphers, P. J. Soles, Nancy Kyes, Nancy Stephens, Nick Castle, Brian Andrews, David Kyle, John Michael Graham

  Though the original Halloween poster's designer Bob Gleason swears it was unintentional, fans quickly noticed an unusual shape in Michael Myers' knuckles. The hand appears to resemble a screaming human face. 

  Gleason used his own hand as a model for the poster, which apparently turned out to be a happy accident. 
• 

  (#3) Us

  • Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Anna Diop

  Both the main movie poster and the early advertisements for Jordan Peele's Us tell us what this film is really all about.

  The two heads from the early images match the shape of the scissors. Even the fact that only one of the hands is gloved reveals that two different people are featured.  
• 

  (#4) Cloverfield

  • Odette Annable, Lizzy Caplan, Jessica Lucas, Mike Vogel, T. J. Miller, Theo Rossi, Ben Feldman, Baron Vaughn, Rick Overton, Liza Lapira, Chris Mulkey, Charlyne Yi, Ryan Key, Billy Brown, Michael Stahl-David, Scott Lawrence, Tim Griffin, Don Abernathy, Pasha D. Lychnikoff, Brian Klugman, Susse Budde, Rasika Mathur, Anjul Nigam, Kelvin Yu, Maria Zambrana, Misha Bugaev, Elena Caruso, Bertrand Roberson Jr., Jake McLaughlin, Lili Mirojnick, Jason Cerbone, Jamie Martz, Jeffrey De Serrano, John Robert, Caley Bisson, Maylen Calienes, James Thomas Bligh, Chris Spinelli, Margot Farley, Roma Torre, Hisonni Johnson, Tommy Gerrits, Vakisha Coleman, Julio Leal, Brandon G. Holley, Gene Richards, Adam Karst, Will Greenberg, Jason Lombard, Andrew Trujillo, Rob Kerkovich, Hooman Khalili, Jason Giffin, Rachel Mower, Adam Greeves, Martin Cohen, Craig Dabbs

  Cloverfield has more than a few big reveals lingering beneath the surface of its poster. Not only are people falling off the top of the Statue of Liberty, but the monster itself is hiding in the image. 

  Mirroring the poster reveals the monster over the city, just as it appears in the film.   
• 

  (#5) Mother

  • Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfeiffer, Domhnall Gleeson, Ed Harris, Kristen Wiig

  Aside from the biblical allegory of Jennifer Lawrence standing in the garden of Eden pulling out her own heart, this horror movie poster has a few more hidden details. For one, the doorknob used as a weapon in the film can be spotted at the center of the white flower. 

  Also, a photo of Javier Bardem (on the left) and a frog face (on the right) are peeking out from behind a few leaves under Lawrence's elbows. 
• 

  (#6) Orphan

  • Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard, Margo Martindale, C. C. H. Pounder, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jimmy Bennett, Karel Roden, Rosemary Dunsmore, Aryana Engineer, Lorry Ayers, Jamie Young

  Isabelle Fuhrman is terrifying enough in her role as Esther, the titular orphan from this 2009 horror film.

  To provoke an even more unsettling atmosphere, Fuhrman's face is mirrored in the poster, creating an impossibly symmetrical appearance. 
• 

  (#7) Gone Girl

  • Ben Affleck, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, Emily Ratajkowski, Rosamund Pike, Kim Dickens, Missi Pyle, Casey Wilson, Kathleen Rose Perkins, Boyd Holbrook, Scoot McNairy, Patrick Fugit, Jamie McShane, Lisa Baines, Carrie Coon

  Because much of the world was already well aware of Gone Girl's twist ending by the time the film debuted, it seems only fitting that the poster gives it away. Amy Elliott Dunne gazing over her husband's turned back is significant enough, but what most fans may have missed is that Dunne is actually watching a television screen. 

  The pixelated reflection and the TV ticker show Amy watching the coverage of her own disappearance, just as she does in the film. 
• 

  (#8) The Exorcist

  • Max von Sydow, Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair, Lee J. Cobb, William Peter Blatty, Jason Miller, Mercedes McCambridge, Jack MacGowran, Barton Heyman, Peter Masterson, Titos Vandis, Donna Mitchell, William O'Malley, Eileen Dietz, Kitty Winn, Robert Symonds, Robert Gerringer, Mason Curry, Arthur Storch, Rudolf Schündler, John Mahon, Roy Cooper, Mary Boylan, Dick Callinan, Toni Darnay, Ron Faber, Wallace Rooney, Vasiliki Maliaros, Bernard Eismann, Joanne Dusseau, Gina Petrushka, Vincent Russell, Thomas Bermingham, Paul Bateson, Elinore Blair, John Nicola, Yvonne Jones, Don LaBonte, Beatrice Hunter

  Bill Gold designed The Exorcist movie poster based on surrealist Belgian artist René Magritte's The Empire of Light. 
• 

  (#9) Kong: Skull Island

  • Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, Brie Larson, Jing Tian, Toby Kebbell, John Ortiz, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Shea Whigham, Thomas Mann, Terry Notary, John C. Reilly

  Kong: Skull Island's promotional poster shares some undeniable similarities to the poster for the 1979 Vietnam war epic Apocalypse Now. From the helicopters and stylized font to the red, glowing sun, the posters are almost identical. The difference being, of course, that one features a giant gorilla head. 
• 

  (#10) Murder on the Orient Express

  • Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, Jacqueline Bissett, Vanessa Redgrave, Anthony Perkins, John Gielgud, Albert Finney, Richard Widmark, Michael York, Martin Balsam, Wendy Hiller, Rachel Roberts, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Denis Quilley, Colin Blakely, George Coulouris

  The entire campaign for Murder on the Orient Express left clues about the film's great mystery, one of which is The Martyr of Sicily. In the bottom left of the poster, the symbol for the martyr appears as if it were one of the film's production companies. 

  The problem is, there is no production company called The Martyr of Sicily. Rather, the martyr refers to St. Agatha, drawing a connection to the story's original author, Agatha Christie. 
• 

  (#11) Split

  • James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy, Betty Buckley

  M. Night Shyamalan is not shy about his big-twist endings, which is one reason no one was surprised by the big reveal at the end of Split. Another reason is the film's poster.

  Anyone familiar with Shyamalan's filmography could probably catch the glass parallel between the Split and Unbreakable movie posters. 
• 

  (#12) Jaws

  • Steven Spielberg, Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, John Searle, Murray Hamilton, Peter Benchley, Carl Gottlieb, Lorraine Gary, Jeffrey Kramer, Susan Backlinie, Beverly Powers, Ayn Ruymen, Denise Cheshire, Ted Grossman, Rex Trailer, Craig Kingsbury, Allison Caine, Dorothy Fielding, Chris Rebello, David Engelbach, Belle McDonald, Christopher Sands, Fritzi Jane Courtney, Cyprian R. Dube, Duncan Inches, Jonathan Filley, Jay Mello, Robert Nevin, Robert Carroll, Alfred Wilde, Lee Fierro, Jeffrey Voorhees, Wally Hooper Jr., Jean Canha, Peggy Scott, Robert Chambers, Edward Chalmers Jr., Julie Taylor, Paul F. Tremblay, Gilbert Brand, Wayne Iacono, Janice T. Hull, Beardsley Graham, John Bahr, Jerome S. Tartar, Joy Stuart, Stephanie Hull, Alston Goff, William Lymon, Paul G. Thibodeau, Dick Young, Edwin C. Carlson, Carla Hogendyk, Henry Carreiro, Henry E. Scott III, Brendan Gallagher, Hershel West, Joseph G. Kraetzer, Gregory S. Dole, Steven Potter, Paul Goulart, Phil Murray, Philip Norton, Donald Poole, Richard P. Hewitt, Robert Whelden Jr., William O'Gorman, Francis A. Frank, Mike Haydn, William Pfluger, Elizabeth K. Gifford, Stephen Earle, Willis B. Gifford, Eleanor L. Harvey, Chris Anastasio, Joe La Creta

  Because the poster has been updated over the years, many people might not notice the woman about to be devoured by the shark is not wearing any clothes.

  To cover up the fact, she's been progressively obscured by sea foam and opaque blues. 
• 

  (#13) The Silence of the Lambs

  • Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Chris Isaak, George A. Romero, Roger Corman, Scott Glenn, Ted Levine, Frankie Faison, Brooke Smith, Charles Napier, Obba Babatunde, Tracey Walter, Dan Butler, Kasi Lemmons, Diane Baker, Daniel von Bargen, Ron Vawter, Anthony Heald, Harry Northup, Adelle Lutz, George Michael, John W. Iwanonkiw, Don Brockett, Brent Hinkley, Kenneth Utt, Paul Lazar, David Early, Gene Borkan, Pat McNamara, Ted Monte, Stuart Rudin, Buzz Kilman, Bill Dalzell, Tommy Lafitte, Danny Darst, Chris McGinn, Chuck Aber, Cynthia Ettinger, Leib Lensky, Lamont Arnold, Andre B. Blake, Frank Seals Jr., George 'Red' Schwartz, Alex Coleman, Rebecca Saxon, Lauren Roselli, Darla, John Hall, Lynette Jenkins, Jim Dratfield, Mike Schaeffer, Miranda Dali, Maria Skorobogatov, Lawrence T. Wrentz, Jim Roche, James B. Howard, Bill Miller, Steve Wyatt, Jeffrie Lane, Josh Broder, Lawrence A. Bonney

  The creepiest thing about The Silence of the Lambs poster is not the glowing red eyes or the smiling skull on the moth; rather, it's Salvador Dali's In Voluptas Mors hidden in plain sight.

  The skull on the moth is pulled straight from the painting.
