10 Disturbing Things Found In The Background Of Horror Movies

10. The Librarian - It

Andrés Muschietti's 2017 version of It drew widespread acclaim for its creation of tension, compelling young cast, and its ability to reduce grown adults to a quivering, snotty mess.

One of Muschietti's greatest accomplishments with the film is how he manages to make the villainous Pennywise feel so omnipresent. You feel his aura everywhere in Derry, like he's deeply embedded in the town's very DNA.

This stacks the odds even more firmly against our heroes. Weren't they struggling enough? They're literally called The Losers' Club!

One of the subtly creepiest bits of this very creepy film comes when Ben visits the local library to learn more about his hometown's sordid history. Whilst there, he meets a friendly librarian. Friendly-looking, maybe, but friendly-acting? Definitely not.

As Ben is reading, you can clearly see the librarian staring at him in the back of the shot. What's worse is that a grim smile is plastered across her face the entire time.

This is never directly referenced again, leaving audiences to wonder why she was acting so strangely.

Is she Pennywise in disguise? Is she one of his followers? Is she just a weird old lady with no social skills?

We'll never know.
