10 Horror Movie Details You Definitely Missed The First Time

First and foremost, if you haven't seen the legendary horror mockumentary Ghostwatch yet, stop what you're doing and watch it right now, because it's a fantastic cult classic that's never quite gotten its fair due.

The film centers around a family who are terrorised by paranormal activity in their home, namely the presence of a malevolent poltergeist referred to as "Mr. Pipes."

Pipes can be faintly seen several times throughout the film, though many of his appearances are incredibly well hidden and tough to spot, with director Lesley Manning claiming that Pipes shows up 13 separate times during Ghostwatch.

For instance, when Dr. Lin Pascoe (Gillian Bevan) is listening to a recording roughly 30 minutes into the film, Pipes appears behind her in the darkness for a few seconds, but the low lighting makes it difficult to spot. By boosting the brightness on your display, it becomes much easier to notice him.

This is just one of the many instances throughout the movie where Pipes pops up out of nowhere, and yet unless you're watching like a hawk, you'll almost certainly have missed most of them.
