10 Horror Movie Secrets Never Meant To Be Found
4. Monster Cameos - Cloverfield
Big monsters smashing up the place were nothing new when Cloverfield first premiered in 2008, but this Matt Reeves-directed flick did something really interesting with the genre.
A found footage-style film, Cloverfield put viewers right in the action as they witness New York fall from the perspective of those on the ground.
Whilst helping to move the genre forward, the movie also pays homage to those films that came before it.
Spliced in throughout the picture are several single frames from classic monster movies. Normal folk would miss something like this, but luckily for you we have superhuman vision... and access to the Internet.
At different points, you can catch sightings of the giant ants from 1954's Them!, the titular Beast from 20,000 Fathoms from 1953, and the mack daddy of movie monsters himself King Kong turns up in all his original black and white glory.
Sorry, Godzilla, we're just huge fans of the huge ape.
Not only is this a sweet tribute to some vintage cinema, it also adds to the overwhelming nature of the film. As if it needed to be anymore intense - just reading the title is enough to make some people want to puke.
