History NightmareFuel / Sinister

* Also in the sequel, we finally find out what happens if [[spoiler: a child fails to complete a tape, as [[EnfanteTerrible Zach]] does in the finale after Deputy So-And-So breaks his projector. Bughuul walks up behind him while he yells at the ghost children, rests a decayed hand on his shoulder, and slowly rots him away until he's nothing but a skeleton. Then he torches the house and moves on.]]

* The music that plays when Ellison burns the reels and projector and during the credits, courtesy of Music/BoardsOfCanada. In the reel burning scene, you can hear high-pitched screams if you listen very closely.

* The music that plays when Ellison burns the reels and projector and during the credits. Listen closely, you'll hear what sounds like the distorted murmur of children in the background, and you can't quite separate it from the rest of the movie.

* The overall sense of unease in the film, because there is a lot of movie shots were Ellison is alone in the night, with half the screen showing a darkened corridor. The audience keeps expecting something to suddenly crawl out of the shadows, and turning on a light or waking up his wife wouldn't have helped Ellison at all.

** Buried in snow up to their faces [[KillItWithIce to freeze to death]]. The worst is the victim who hasn't died yet, and turns her eyes to face the camera in the final shot.

** At least one unseen reel which involves Christmas.

** [[KillItWithFire Tied up in a car that is lit on fire and begins rocking furiously]]
** [[KillItWithWater Taped to lounge chairs and pulled into a pool with only their jerking feet left above]]

* Bagul's face's appearance on the surface of the waters of the pool.

** Bagul appearing in the backyard. You saw it in the trailers, you knew it was coming, but it's nonetheless one of the most terrifying parts in the movie.

* Trevor's night terrors. [[TrailersAlwaysLie The trailers made it look like the first one (in the box) would occur later and be of Bagul's doing]], so it was completely unexpected that something like this would happen so soon. Then later when Ellison is investigating seeing Bagul in the yard, and he sees his son's completely white, horrified, shaking face peering out from a gap in the leaves. ''Right where Bagul had been seconds before''.

* The implication that the horror may easily continue, because if Deputy So-and-So starts investigating the [[spoiler:killings following Ellison's death]], he'll start searching for the case and once again plastering Bagul's face all over the wall.

** He already knows what happened and has proven to be quite GenreSavvy. The rest of the authorities, on the other hand...

** Let's see, families including young children being lifted slowly off the ground by their necks while they twitch and spasm until they're all still. This scene (and the projector that played it) came from the nightmares of writer C. Robert Cargill after he first watched ''Film/TheRing''.
