I'm so sorry for not seeing Carnival Of Souls. I'm sure if I did, I would understand perfectly.

"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy."

It's not just faces. Seeing as I wouldn't expect anyone to seep through drowning I'd guess they are already dead. The problem is that that matches the title but not the idea of, "They only looked alive."

Yes, it's the "All Along" that's the issue. They look like corpses, but "there are corpses" isn't the trope.

And where could I find a better image that would illustrate the trope better?

A lot of bad images lately, huh? I'm not sure what to suggest.

Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.

Either they look dead, and the image doesn't illustrate the trope, or they don't look dead but they are in a dangerous situation and/or dying, which isn't what you'd associate with the trope, so it still doesn't illustrate.

[up] So perhaps we can illustrate it with two pics.

A classic one (It Was His Sled material) is the mother from Psycho. Show a regular shot of her back, and a shot of The Reveal.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
