10 Terrifying Horror Movie Villains Hiding In Plain Sight

3. Ghost Boy - Insidious

Hereditary Monster
Film District

Telling the tale of a boy that has slipped into a coma and accidentally brought about a supernatural infestation of his home, Insidious is one of James Wan's movies that solidified his rise to the top of the horror food chain upon release in 2011.

Whilst the film is packed to the brim with effective jump scares to keep audiences on edge, it's the things that aren't leaping out of the screen that prove to be far more terrifying - with one little ghost boy in particular standing out amongst his peers.

Of course, mother Renai clearly catches this ghost boy as intended in the story, but its a few seconds prior that will put your hair on end. As she moves through her house doing laundry, a shot reveals the boy going full Blair Witch in the corner of the room as Renai carries on about her business. No attention is drawn to him, and he's easy enough to miss considering he blends pretty well with the coats - but he's there all the same. Creepy.
