In the case of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer's killer Will Benson (Matthew Settle), the guy was clearly having fun hiding the truth in plain sight, enough that anyone who really stopped and thought about his name could piece it all together.

As Will himself reveals to Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) at the end of the movie, he's actually the son of Ben Willis (Muse Watson), the murderous fisherman from the first film, and his name was a huge clue - Will Benson = Will, Ben's son, get it?

Attentive audience members should be onto him the moment his name is first mentioned by Julie's friend Karla (Brandy) in his very first scene, and if that's not obvious enough, he ends up being the source of a jump scare moments later when Julie thinks she sees Ben Willis in a nightclub.
