10 Fiendishly Clever Secrets Hidden In Famous Movie Posters

The Silence Of The Lambs' poster is one of the most iconic in cinematic history, with the impossible-to-forget, ghost-white image of Jodie Foster's Clarice Starling contrasted by a brightly-coloured moth, complete with a skull on the back of its head.

There's more to that skull than meets the eye, though. If you look closely, you can see that it's actually made up of seven naked female bodies.

This composition is taken from a photo by Salvador Dali that depicts several naked females joined together to form a skull shape.

It was director Jonathan Demme who gave this idea to the marketing team, with the use of females being a reference to the film's serial killer, Buffalo Bill, who skins the corpses of his female victims.
