Resident Evil: 10 TERRIFYING Secrets & Easter Eggs You Need To See

2. Blair Witch Project - Resident Evil 7

In this day and age it's strange to consider just how influential The Blair Witch Project actually was back in the day, even if it was just one big gimmick.

While every player who watches the Resident Evil 7 tapes - particularly the Derelict House footage - will see this scene its fair to say that most wont even realise that it's actually a rather scary Blair Witch reference; whether that's because they're too terrified to think or that Blair Witch hasn't been culturally relevant in decades it's hard to say.

Ever since the Sewer Gators and poor cameraman Clancy entered the Baker residence we all knew they were going to die. So when Clancy makes his way down an eerie ladder into a dark cellar the player will already be at their wits end.

Then they turn around and see the once lost Andre standing completely still, staring at the wall.

It's chilling to say the least, and it's hard not to notice just how much it mirrors the ending of The Blair Witch as in the movie Mike stands in the same pose staring at a wall. The only difference is Mike didn't have a pipe sticking down his throat.

Not sure who got off luckier here.
