10 MORE hidden details in the opening scenes of horror movies

As with any genre, it's always worth rewatching horror films and realizing that the filmmakers put a lot more thought into the images and ideas than you previously thought.

It's great fun to discover a nifty detail hidden right in front of the most diehard fans, especially when it falls into your lap right at the beginning of the film and foreshadows future events or enriches the story in some way.

And as a continuation of our previous article on this very topic, here are ten more hidden details from the opening scenes of horror movies.

These early introductory scenes all focus on a moment that was missed by the vast majority of viewers, but those who caught it – probably on repeat viewings – were surely pointing at the screen with as much enthusiasm as Leonardo DiCaprio himself.

From visual motifs hinting at a character's ultimate fate, to insane cases of continuity, creative nods to an ending with a certain unexpected twist, and everything in between, these films have been packed with some really well-thought-out touches from the start.

For anyone who thinks horror movies can't be subtle, these films are clear proof of the opposite…

Just minutes into Ti West’s terrific slasher flashback “X,” we catch our first glimpse of porn actress Bobby-Lynne Parker (Brittany Snow) as she leaves the Bayou Burlesque strip club.

Notably, the front of the restaurant is painted with a mural depicting an alligator on the right side of the door that Bobby-Lynne comes out of.

And while alligators aren't necessarily an uncommon image to associate with a bayou, in this case it has a very special meaning for Bobby-Lynne and her ultimate fate.

She is eventually killed later in the film when the villain Pearl (Mia Goth) pushes her into a lake and she is quickly mauled headfirst by an alligator.

The fact that Bobby-Lynne is only a few inches away from the alligator in the mural and that the alligator is on her right side, just as it is later when it kills her, is certainly no coincidence for such a conscientious filmmaker as West.
