1.
In Get Out, there’s a scene (when Chris is talking to the maid) where it says “Chris is dead” in the background:
2.
In Annabelle, you can see a replica of the real Annabelle doll (a Raggedy Ann doll) in the background of one of the final scenes:
3.
Also in Annabelle, there’s a moment — just before the record player turns on of its own accord — that you can see a ghost pass it (look in the photo above the record player):
4.
In the opening scene of Friday the 13th, the counselors start singing “Tom Dooley” as two counselors sneak away to kiss, getting to the “now you’re bound to die” lyric and fading out just before the two counselors are murdered:
5.
In Psycho, there’s a second when the image is fading from Norman’s face to Marion’s car where you can see the corpse of Norman’s mother superimposed over his face:
6.
In The Conjuring 2, when Ed tries to reach the spirit possessing Janet, you can see her morph into Bill Wilkins in the background:
7.
In It: Chapter Two, when older Henry is first shown, Tom and Jerry is playing in the background. In the episode shown, a piece of steak with a yellow border floats down into a storm drain in the rain, as Tom, Jerry, and Spike chase it — mirroring the first scene of It: Chapter One.
8.
Also in It: Chapter Two, there’s an homage to The Shining — you can see the carpet pattern from the film on a skateboard:
9.
And the shower curtain pattern in Doctor Sleep looks just like Room 237’s carpet in The Shining:
10.
In Us, there is an homage to the dead twins in The Shining, when two dead twin girls are shown in basically the same position on the floor:
11.
You can also spot the twins from The Shining in one of the screens in Cabin in the Woods:
12.
In Midsommar, there’s a moment where you can see Dani’s sister’s death formed in the trees:
13.
Also in Midsommar, Dani’s smile echoes that of the sun in the mural from the film’s opening shot:
14.
In fact, the mural basically tells the story of the film:
15.
The pattern on the back of Jupe’s suit in Nope similarly foreshadows the ending:
16.
In Insidious, there’s a moment when you can see Jigsaw drawn on the chalkboard behind Josh:
17.
Also in Insidious, you probably noticed the creepy boy dancing in the house as “Tiptoes through the Tulips” plays (as Renai herself sees it) — but you may not have noticed she passes right by him, literally feet away, a minute earlier:
18.
In The Other, Niles has a drawing of Bruno Hauptmann and a baby in a crib. Later in the film, Niles steals a baby from its crib and kills it, as Hauptmann was convicted of doing:
19.
In Cloverfield, there are multiple frames of famous movie monsters spliced into the tapes (that occur so briefly you can’t make them out unless you pause), including King Kong:
20.
In Hereditary, on the telephone pole that later kills Charlie, you can see Paimon’s symbol:
21.
You can also see Paimon in the background of this scene by the window, in the form of a white/blue light:
22.
One more Hereditary example…when the film cuts from a day shot of the house to a night shot — you can’t really tell because of how dark it is and because your eyes are still adjusting to the transition — but if you brighten it up, you can see the house is now surrounded by people:
23.
In The Conjuring 2, the demon Valak’s name is actually written on the walls in one scene:
24.
In Annihilation, the writhing is foreshadowed earlier in the film when you see fingers refract behind a glass of water:
25.
In The Exorcist, minutes before “help me” appears on Reagan’s skin, the Japanese translation of the phrase is shown in banner on the wall.
26.
And in another scene from The Exorcist, you can see this super creepy face in the background for a brief second when Chris comes home:
27.
And finally, one last The Exorcist example: when Father Karras dies, there is graffiti on the stairs that says “fight pigs” — this is a reference to the biblical story when Jesus exorcises demons into a bunch of pigs:
