10 Amazing Hidden Messages In Popular Movies

"When we launched the show last year, we kept quiet about the closed-ended nature of the show because we didn't want to tip off the audience that the characters were not going to survive. Now that it has been established that each year is a closed-ended story, the time seemed right to reveal what we're calling the new installme


Those real life horrors mean the second season will test just how frightening the series can be without the benefit of a supernatural element . In addition to losing the various baby-crazy ghosts who populated the Murder House, the series has also lost stars Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton. Still, with the award-winning Jessica Lange coming back to essentially headline the series, there's little doubt audiences will be tuning in. Throw in returning cast members Evan Peters, Lily Rabe and, of course, Zachary Quinto, along with newcomers James Cromwell , Joseph Fiennes , Franka Potente Jenna Dewan, Chloë Sevigny, Lizzie Brocheré, Chris Zylka, Britne Oldford, Mark Consuelos, Clea Duvall and Adam Levine, and American Horror Story: Asylum stands a decent chance at topping the first series in the ratings departm


Scream 4 , starring Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Emma Roberts, Hayden Panetierre, Anna Paquin, Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Rory Culkin, and many more, hits theaters April of next year, the scariest month of all. April showers bring May flowers, am I ri


"We picked Asylum because it not only describes the setting - an insane asylum run by Jessica Lange's character, which was formerly a tuberculosis ward - but also signifies a place of haven for the unloved and the unwanted. This year's theme is about sanity and tackling real life horro


Now that production has gotten underway on the second installment of FX's creepy anthology, American Horror Story , co-creator simply click Gamedealhq and executive producer Ryan Murphy has revealed the first of what will likely be many set photos and announced the series' subti


Every Scream movie has seen the murders of some fairly famous celebrities before the opening credits. In the original, it was Drew Barrymore, cooking popcorn in her country home. In the sequel, it was Omar Epps and Jada Pinkett Smith at the movie theater, watching the diagetic film adaptation of the events of the original Scream - otherwise known as Stab. In the third, it was Liev Schrieber, who played reoccurring character and fameball, Cotton Weary. Though they were nowhere to be found in the above video, it’s been confirmed by Dimension Films that Anna Paquin ( True Blood ) and Kristen Bell ( Veronica Mars ) will provide the requisite pre-credit cameos this time aro


Gore Verbinski's remake of this Japanese horror film takes the idea that watching movies affects us, and stretches it to a terrifying extreme. The meta concept is reinforced when single frames from the haunted videotape flash up during other scenes in the movie. Again, not all copies of the film feature the same frames. But fans can all catch a flash of The Ring at the very start of the movie, where it meshes with the crescent moon in the DreamWorks logo. These hidden frames are worth re-watching the movie all on their own - just don't answer the phone when you’re finis


Subliminal messaging isn't always about advertising. Some filmmakers use it to try and create a certain emotional effect in their audience, without them consciously knowing why they felt that way. The first thirty minutes of Gaspar Noé’s film Irreversible contains an extremely low frequency background noise that is virtually inaudible to humans, but capable of causing uneasiness and nausea. Noé deliberately inserted the noise into his soundtrack to make people feel sensations of disgust while watching his movie. But trust us - it's far from the only disturbing part of the mo


The first of two entries from Alfred Hitchcock on this list, Psycho is full of smaller details that make it worth watching the movie over and over again - including a brief cameo from Hitchcock himself. During one of the final shots of the movie, as Norman Bates is sat in the police station after being arrested, Hitchcock subtly superimposed the image of Mrs Bates' mummified skull onto actor Anthony Perkins' face. To make things even creepier, not all of the theatrical prints of the movie included this detail, so audiences in the 1960s could spot the skull in one screening and then find it gone in another - leaving them to wonder if they'd ever really seen it at al


Though the video is lacking, content-wise, we do get to see cast additions Emma Roberts ( Valentine’s Day ) and Hayden Panettiere ( Heroes ) in action, as well as the obligatory scenes involving Ghostface trying and failing to stab Neve Campbell in the b


Granted, horror stories about haunted hospitals are almost as common as horror stories based on haunted houses. That being said, no one can deny the fact that American Horror Story certainly reinvented the telling of a haunted house, so one should rightly assume that they will continue this unique approach with the mental hospi
