anyone else notice this creepy small detail near the end of the movie?


Its when the mother gets one taking her bath and when she hears the kids scream, pay attention to a framed photo of Carol Ann on the night stand. It turns into a different photo or turns "demonic"

pretty creepy

reply

The photos are arranged differently/less. The photo I think you're referring to does look creepy but can't tell it's just the angle of the old photo or not

well i just learned about this little creepy detail from this website

its the same Carol Ann photo in the exact spot on the dresser.

If this demonic change is actually real then i should rewatch that scene since I have Poltergeist for DVD handy right now anyway.

Stuff like that little detail you learn something new every time thanks to websites these days.

Yes, it's creepy as fuck. I don't know what the hell that's supposed to be. But the pictures and the mess are all arranged differently before and after the wall climb. First pic is when she's sitting on the bed brushing her hair. The second pic is when she's doing the wall climb.

The photos are obviously arranged differently/swapped out/changed. I just can't tell if that photo is demonic or not. Just can't see it clearly enough.

reply

Most likely it's just a black and white picture of a family member or something. But it does look very creepy and a bit demonic.

reply

That's what I'm thinking too. Continuity issue may have opened up an interpretation of it. Wish the OP was correct as that would have been a really cool Easter egg. But sadly IMO thats not the case here.

reply

excuse me but if that website says that the photo changes into a demonic picture then its true. They brought up in the first place, not me

reply

Ok the website, not you. A website like this can say all it wants- doesn't mean it's true. Now if someone directly involved with the film said that was the intention- that's different.

reply

whatever.

im going to watch the movie again later tonight especially that scene in the movie. Ill pay closer attention the picture during that scene for myself with my own eyes if it looks demonic or scary since the ghosts are terrorizing the family

reply

"whatever."

So you find something on a website about some possible background easteregg on a film. You post it here and then put your opinion that it's creepy. Ok, cool.

But then a couple of people in a non confrontational way disagree with you on here.

Your response is whatever? If you're going to be that offended that people don't agree with you (without them being dicks towards you) maybe you shouldn't post.

reply

Those people that are disagreeing on the demonic change to the picture, theyre pretty much acting like party poopers in the first place where theyre not even going to spend the time to watch the movie againn to pay attention that one part in that scene at the end.

Type of people that i cant stand where they have to start a stupid argument

reply

I'm rewatching it now. Did anyone notice the 666 in the chairs. Very creepy.

I believe it's the scene early in the film where Carol Anne is communicating with the "TV people." The time on the digital clock on the VCR or TV says 2:37.

Room 237 from The Shining...?

reply

Just saw this interesting find..look at the shadow of the plant behind the TV. It looks like the initials KA (Karol Anne!!!)

That looks like the shadow of a bird. The ghost of Tweety...?
