Did You Spot Any of the Creepy Hidden Faces in ‘Midsommar’?

Creepy hidden imagery in horror is nothing new, with notable examples being the flashes of Pazuzu’s face in The Exorcist and more recently, the hidden ghosts in Mike Flanagan’s “The Haunting of Hill House.” As it turns out, Ari Aster’s Midsommar is also home to nightmarish imagery that most horror fans – including yours truly – probably didn’t notice in theaters.

Twitter’s @DanielGayLewis has pointed out and screen-capped one of the hidden faces in Midsommar today, letting us know precisely where in the movie it can be found:

“when the hårgas lift dani onto the pedestal and start walking to the dinner table, you can see her dead sister’s face in the trees with the exhaust tube in her mouth… this shit is in different areas! what the fuck!”

Doing a little research, we came across a post on Reddit from a couple months back that makes mention of at least a couple other instances of this sort of hidden imagery:

  • “So whenever Dani and Christian are on the couch in the first act of the movie and the camera slowly zooms in on the snow outside her window to the title sequence, I swear that in the snow outside you could see a creepy/demonic face for a several seconds.” – @noahhead
  • “I recall seeing a face/figure in the rocks during the “fall” scene” – @hobbessss
  • “At the beginning, with the wailing/singing, the close up of the forest line reveals a face.” – @GawaintheHunter

Midsommar is arriving on Digital/On Demand September 24, and on Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD October 8, so keep your eyes peeled when you revisit the film at home.

And if you notice any of these hidden faces, be sure to let us know…

Rosemary's Baby prequel Apartment 7A

Get ready to revisit the Bramford apartment building this Fall. Paramount+ today announced that the all-new original film set before Rosemary’s Baby, Apartment 7A, will premiere this Halloween season exclusively on the streaming service.

Set in 1965 New York City, the film tells the story prior to the horror classic Rosemary’s Baby, exploring what happened in the apartment before Rosemary Woodhouse moved in.

Our first look image gives a closer peek at the Bramford. Check it out above.

Directed by Relic filmmaker Natalie Erika James, the film stars Julia Garner (Ozark, Wolf Man), Dianne Wiest (Mayor of Kingstown), Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) and Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean film series). Additional supporting cast includes Marli Siu (Anna and the Apocalypse), Andrew Buchan (All the Money in the World), Rosy McEwen (Blue Jean) and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (Wonka).

In Apartment 7A, “When a struggling, young dancer (Garner) suffers a devastating injury, she finds herself drawn in by dark forces when a peculiar, well-connected, older couple promises her a shot at fame.”

“Apartment 7A is the perfect way to kick off the Halloween season,” said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President, Programming, Paramount+. “Director Natalie Erika James and the prodigious creative team have crafted a chilling and clever new entry into the genre.”

The psychological thriller is a Paramount+ original movie in association with Paramount Pictures and is based on the novel Rosemary’s Baby by Ira Levin. Directed by James, with a screen story by Skylar James and a script by Natalie Erika James & Christian White and Skylar James, the film is executive produced by Vicki Dee Rock and Alexa Ginsburg, and is produced by John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, p.g.a, Michael Bay, Andrew Form, p.g.a, and Brad Fuller.

While Paramount+ hasn’t announced the official debut date just yet, expect Apartment 7A to arrive just in time for Halloween as part of the streamer’s Peak Screaming collection that offers a broad and popular lineup of new originals, fan-favorite horror movies and iconic Halloween episodes from beloved series.
