10 More Disturbing Things Found In The Background Of Horror Movies

10. Cyrus In The Shadows - Thirteen Ghosts

Thirteen Ghosts begins with ghost hunter Cyrus Kriticos (F. Murray Abraham) apparently being killed while attempting to catch a ghost.

However, deep into the third act, it's revealed that Cyrus actually faked his death in order to lure his nephew Arthur (Tony Shalhoub) to the haunted house.

Yet about 10 minutes before Cyrus emerges from the shadows, you can briefly see him loitering around in the shadows.

When Arthur learns that the spirit of his dead wife is sealed within the house, he punches the man responsible, Dennis Rafkin (Matthew Lillard), square in the face.

As Arthur falls to the floor post-punch, keep an eye on the black void between the wall and the shelf behind him, as Cyrus is just barely visible watching the scene unfold from the dark.

It's much easier to spot if you boost the brightness on your display, but even then, you might need to squint to notice that it's F. Murray Abraham peeking in on the action. That's... creepy as hell.
