The 7 Scariest (?) Blink-And-Miss Images in the Insidious Teaser
·Image 4
What is it? Victorian era girls are scary enough, but when they appear vignetted and are most likely ghosts or demons, it still hits some primal fear nerve.
Verdict: This is scary.
·Image 5
What is it? I watched this scene about a dozen times and it still looks like a wine bottle coming to life and jumping at someone's face. It is probably not that. Still, There's too much movement to do a freeze frame that gives any hints. Before this, something throws someone against a wall (in negative). I don't know if the two are related.
Verdict: Hung Jury.
·Image 6
What is it? I don't know! But old people are terrifying in fish-eye lenses!
Verdict: Horrifying!
·Image 7
What is it? The last montage features a gasmask (pretty distinguishable), more light, and groups of people looking scared. But I like this image the best - it appears to be some sort of ghost detecting machine rebelling against the ghost scientist.
Verdict: Sure, that's scary. If we can't trust our ghost-detecting machines, what can we trust?
Here's the entire trailer with all of the above images in motion.

It looks to me like #5, which you wonder if it's a wine bottle, is the same as the gasmask person in #7...
The still DOES look like that, but the movement itself looked different to me. By the tenth time I watched it, I couldn't stop thinking "wine bottle." But maybe watching that 1 second clip 10 times in a row just made me crazy.
If your theory is right, then does this movie involve a gas mask that attacks? I'm not even sure how I feel about that. I'm going to have to think about this.
I think is the gas mask because if you pause it at the very start, you see the actual mask on their head-- then their head suddenly jerk up with a piping sorta thing sticking out of it-- weird part is is that it looks like the piping is connected-- like it joins to a T section of pipes...
Ah, nice detective work. I'll buy this, though a wine bottle was much more fun. I still don't understand how a ga mask figures in. Maybe it's a ghost mask that uh, protects from ghosts? And then maybe the marketing team knew if they showed that for more than a half second it would raise some eyebrows?
I watched it a couple nights ago. I think it's one of the better horror movies I've seen in a long time and I've been watching them for four decades. I love them, but, not many of them really give me the creeps and this one did. There are plenty of good jump-out-of-your-seat scares as well as an insidious dose of time-release fear. The team that comes in to investigate uses lots of home made and home fashioned equipment because some paranormal investigative tools can't be found at Ace Hardware. The tools and equipment aren't explained in detail, but, as the viewers we just assumed they need particular and peculiar things to do their jobs. We get the idea they've been doing this for a long time and the stuff have evolved to suit their needs over the years.
