20 Mind-Blowing Easter Eggs Hidden In Your Favorite Horror Films
20. Billy The Puppet Shows Up In Insidious And Dead Silence
James Wan owes his entire career to the first Saw film, and so he has naturally paid tribute to it several times in his later work. The first instance was during Dead Silence, another Wan movie that makes puppets super creepy.
There's a sequence where the main characters discover a puppet collection, and low and behold one of them just happens to be Billy from the Saw franchise.
And towards the beginning of Insidious, when Josh is in his classroom taking a phone call, you can briefly see Billy drawn on the chalkboard behind him.
Notice that for some reason there's an eight written under Billy's head. Could this have been James Wan hinting that Saw VII wasn't really the final chapter and there would be an eighth movie coming soon?
Or maybe that's just supposed to be a cute, tiny version of Billy's body?
