Silouhette very notable during the 56:00min marked scene--


I am simply bringing over a subject that began in the review section, but has seriously intrigued me and am so wanting to hear other opinions regarding this well defined silouhette of a person hanging during the 56:00mm scene.. Below is the original post about the silouhette, followed by my review post about the silouhette..

Original review below was posted June 4, 2013:

"While watching this flick with some family members we noticed something interesting at 56 minutes into the movie. Was the point when one of the cast members went to get the remote control car. On the right hand side of the screen a shadowed silhouette of what looks like a man hanging appears out of nowhere. Just something I have not found mentioned on the web so far."

My review below:

This is the only place I, too have seen that this specific discussion, re: silouhette, is even being mentioned.. It absolutely does appear at the 56:12 minute mark and is clearly visible for the following 10+seconds until the 56:23 minute mark.. This silouhette is so well defined that you can actually see the "hanging man silouhette" actually move, as in appearing to turn just like how a body would do while suspended, hanging from a rope, and suspended up in the air, unable to touch the ground, yet fully able to freely spin/turn when left suspended in a hangman's position.

For more than 10 full seconds this silouhette of what very much appears to be of a body, hung from a noose type rope around their neck.. The silouhette initially appears very unremarkable and even hard to spot..but within the first two seconds the silhouette quickly becomes very dark in color/contrast and becomes near impossible to miss its being there for more than 10 full seconds of the scene beginning at MM 56:12.. As it darkens becoming much more clear and apparent..it also begins to actually move the exact way one sees when observing a body hung from a noose around the neck, while suspended in mid air unable to touch the ground. Slightly turning and making even more apparent that the silhouette is there and in a hangman's position with the person hanging's legs very much being noticeable, and even the slight, to good bit of clarity, that the legs are well defined and are dangling apart from each other

And just to be clear on what scene this silouhette can be clearly seen.. Its the scene that begins, straight up on the 56:00min mark when cameraman, Jim enters into the eating room(the area which very much appeared to serve as the team's base camp) and Jim retrieves the remote camera equipment named, Clyde, to send it into the crawl space above the ceiling to look for Adam's body.. This scene 56:00-56:23 is filmed from the POV of it being an immobile, stationary surveillance cam covering this specific angle of base camp/the area in which they had eaten moments earlier in the movie...

By 56:12-14 the silhouette is remarkably clear and very apparent.. It seems to almost appear from nowhere at 56:12 and only becomes just that much more clear and well defined within 10+seconds of this scene..

Would love to hear others thoughts on this observation from around the 56:00minute mark, and continuing to the 56:23minute mark of the film, "100th Ghost Street: The Return of Richard Speck"


So, to any who have noticed this silouhette, and/or are even interested in discussing/commenting on this well defined silouhette..please post a reply about any thoughts or theories you guys may have on where this silouhette came from?..was it intentional on the part of the director?.. Or is this not at all what some of us are believing it to be, but rather merely matrixing of the walls, in the scene and therefor no real silouhette even exists??..

I saw it too, as you described. Slowly gets darker and more defined. I believe it is simply a premonition of how one of the crew members will die. While it doesn't make sense that the guy who is in the room when the silhouette appears is not the one to die this way. I can't think of another reason, other than production just wanted to see if anyone would notice it.

I noticed it also. I don't think it is hanging though. Just think it is standing there. Looks to be pretty close to the floor to be hanging. It's more of a way to show that he's watching maybe.

It's an Asylum movie. They didn't accidentally catch a ghost on camera. Please.

There's no way to explain it, shadow suggest someone next to the wall, nobody is next to the wall

Okay, sped.

It's a movie. Special effects. Troll 0/10, will not play again.

What can you see and when can you see it?

when they're looking for the key to the padlock, they find the attic with Adam's blood trail leading up into it. they're arguing about who should go up to look, and Jim suggests that they can just use "Clyde" the remote controlled car with a camera mounted onto it to search for them. he goes back to get "Clyde" and you see him on one of the mounted security cameras that Mike and Earl installed earlier. while he's getting "Clyde" a shadowy figure appears on the wall to the right of him and you can hear the clicking sounds that the Richard Speck ghost makes throughout the movie, leading one to assume that the figure is actually the Richard Speck ghost stalking his victims. my only problem with it is that they established that Speck kills people when they're alone, so it bugged me that he didn't attack Jim, who was all alone fumbling around with the bag. didn't make sense that he'd pass up that opportunity to kill
