6 Hidden Messages You Never Knew Existed

The title says it all. It's been a while since I made an interesting post for you guys to read, so here is my list on different subliminal messages that you probably didn't even know were there. Well....maybe you do know them. I don't even know. But in case you don't, here are 6
of the most wackiest and slightly disturbing hidden images compiled from famous films. I can guarantee the next time you see these films you'll be keeping an eye out for them. (Warning, some graphic images AND spoilers ahead. You have been warned internet.)

Number 1: The Uncomfortable Silence of Fight Club's Ending

So you just finished fight club, and what a roller-coaster story it has been. There was insomnia, and schizophrenia and fighting and explosions and- oh my god was that a naked man you just saw in a split second? Did....Did anyone else just see that? Guys? In the credits?!

I had to crop the full image because I love censorship.

Yes it is true, Fight Club's director David Fincher did actually include several subliminal images (as a social experiment), but the most prominent of all is the final scene where for a microsecond the image of a naked man with his junk hanging out blasts across the screen...then disappears. Needless to say that it left a rather awkward silence in the theatre/living room. Oh don't worry, it's not enough to cause any mind control or subliminal acts or anything....

Number 2: Show me the MONKEY.

No, this is not a reference to Tom Cruise's stellar role in Jerry McGuire. Instead, this was a hugely unnoticed message in Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005). In the movie, towards the beginning as the crew approach skull island, Captain Windhorn receives a morse code message asking for the arrest of Jack Dawson and Carl Dennim. Regardless, sneaky Peter Jackson thought it would be funny to uneducated audiences to make the morse code a different meaning. Upon analysation the morse code actually says, "Show me the monkey," an eerie pre-prediction of the demise of the crew. 

Well, we found him.

Number 3: Dead Hawaiian Inmates

Number 3 takes a part of the more scary side of hidden messaging in films. The movie we're focusing on is Sunshine; a sic-fi thriller turned horror where a group of astronauts are set to re-ignite our sun, but instead encounter another ship destined to do the same process. An empty ship with the warnings of a dead crew. Ignoring the gaping plot-holes, there is a scene where they enter dark space ship and flash their torches around like a parade of show ponies. The scene itself is very un-nerving, but what makes it even more terrifying is the flash of a single image as the light beam hits the camera. The image, if paused at the right time, is actually one of the inmates on the abandoned ship at a hawaiian party. Except now he's dead. Oh yeah, and why did the director do it? To make the audience uncomfortable apparently. Well done, snaps for Danny Boyle.

Eyes lead towards the soul right?

Number 4: A Sign of The Future...

Ok, I love Steven Spielberg as much as the next guy. But when I saw JAWS for the first time, and then did some research, then my respect expanded tenfold. In the final tense scenes of the thriller movie, where Brody fights the shark one on one in the early dawn, a beautiful quiet moment happens. Like the calm of the storm, the camera captures this facial shot of a shooting star barreling down from the sky, with a twinkling noise. There is much debate over this film as to whether it's real or fake or some kind of hidden message. The most commonly known explanation is that the shooting star was an added effect as a hint to Steven Spielberg's next box-office hit Close Encounters & E.T The shooting star symbolised the world of sic-fi that he would be entering into (if this is true, then does that mean somewhere in E.T there is a hidden symbol of dinosaurs to echo the making of Jurassic Park?!) Whatever the explanation, it's mystifying, beautiful and a foreboding symbol.

Number 5: Evila lilts s'ti

The last thing you need to know after a giant monster has been bombed the shit out of is "It's Still Alive." Well for fans of the cult-classic Cloverfield (2008) there was a short, 5 second message at the very very end after all the credits. A very simple, strange, diluted voice message with a man's voice saying "Evila Lilts s'ti." Reverse the recording and it simply says: It's Still Alive. We're not sure whether this confirms a sequel, but we're hoping that somehow this will become the standpoint for another monster vs city film. We can't get enough of those.

WHY. ARE. YOU. NOT. DEAD?!

Number 6: Disney Ruined My Childhood

This one is going to be a montage of several culprits. But we'll start with the straw that broke the camels back. Enter The Lion King (1994); it's cute, it's got a good message, it's got a hell of a lot of songs to sing along with (dat Scar montage though). But when movie analysers came up with this image, it began the revelation of movie subliminal searchers and 'tin-foil hat' enthusiasts. 

Ok...well that could mean anything...

And then came the 'other' images, which we'll post below. I don't think we need an explanation for each of these. Just enjoy the show and try not to let Disney atomic bomb your childhood...

Ummm....I...don't see it.

Oh come on!

WHAT.

OH JESUS I HOPE THAT'S EDITED.
