hello hello Gail welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 horror movie theories that turned out to be true come on man the little guys with the big eyes yep there's lots of theories for this list we'll be looking at Fan theories about horror films that came true or were confirmed by creators themselves later on we'll also be including predictions about then upcoming films that were also spot on the spoilers on this list however are not theoretical which of these theories did you suspect let us know in the comments below number 20 the thing has no true form the thing as you surely know the things a key feature is its ability to mimic any form of life it assimilates this led fans of the 1982 classic to wonder what it would look like if stripped of all of its glamours if anything with the 2011 prequel of the same name director Matthias van Heine Jr answered this one question by claiming it's less like an actual creature and more like a virus it's like a virus so what do we do with any virus quarantine we isolated and then we kill it sure we prefer info from the OG Maestro John Carpenter but he's been deliberately cagey about details saying that he knows who the thing is at the end of his film but that we never will you're worried about me if we've got any surprises for each other I don't think we're in my shape to do anything about it number 19. nope is about aliens nope since get out Jordan peel movies have inspired endless analyzes and theories even when they have yet to be released promotional materials have loved to tease in this way too with the first posters featuring certain motifs while the first one for us showed a character holding a pair of scissors nope's poster only gave us a cloud with a kite tail to go off of with story details pending fans immediately began to speculate that inside that cloud was an unidentified flying object okay or maybe you're in a UFO hotspot No One Believes In that sure enough the movie ended up featuring just such a UFO Only no one could have predicted its true beastly nature number 18. Sydney and Mark got together scream 3. Sydney Prescott has not had the best of luck with relationships even though she deserves a happily ever after she finally got it but we didn't know about it for some time in Scream 3 the franchise's Final Girl seems to have some chemistry with LAPD detective Mark Kincaid but nothing is explicitly stated or acted upon what's your favorite scary movie [Music] Mark's last scene in the film's epilogue getting chummy with the gang leaving fans to wonder if this is only in a friendly capacity or something more when it seemed like no sequel would ever be acknowledged the fifth entry 22 years later finally confirmed that Sydney and Mark were not only married but had kids do we oh my God how long has it been I'm just trying to get a run-in before I take the girls to school how are you I'm good really good how are you how's mark I think I'll keep him now what are the odds of getting McDreamy back on a screen set number 17 Michael Bay's shared Universe Friday the 13th and Transformers franchise this one's a little tenuous so bear with us as many will know Michael Bay directed the first live-action Transformers movie as Les will know he also produced several horror remakes including 2009's Friday the 13th what both films share is actor Travis Van Winkle who plays characters named Trent in each so you don't want to be friends after this you don't want to hang out let it go it's not me this guy's being a dick granted the characters have different last names and novelizations and deleted scenes which will let you decide if it's a Canon killer but the characters same jerky attitude has led many to believe they're one and the same uh what is My Little Pony just hop in the backseat oh God I can't even tell you how much I'm not your little bunny several Publications have reported on Bay confirming this but the primary source seemingly can't be found still Michaela was right to dump him else she too end up at Crystal Lake number 16 Midsummer is a fairy tale Midsummer this one delves more into themes than plot Dynamics but remains fascinating all the same ariasta's visually arresting film mid-summer follows Danny a young woman who suffers the tragic loss of her family in the opening minutes she later joins her boyfriend in his Pals on a trip to Sweden where they study and ingratiate themselves into a pagan cult things of course don't go well as daddy's friends are killed before she's crowned the May queen you are our May Queen yes why you won what does that mean early viewings had many likening it to themes of old school fairy tales and it wasn't long before Astor shared the same sentiment now that it's a fairy tale there's only one thing to do wait for the Disney version number 15 Clover is a deep sea creature Cloverfield the Cloverfield franchise has embraced mystery even going back to the first film's marketing campaign naturally being a found footage POV movie Cloverfield focuses more on the character's first person experiences in the monster attack and less on creature backstory and Exposition this prompted fans to come up with their own explanations like Clover being from outer space but this was denied by producer JJ Abrams rather the alternate theory that it came from the Atlantic Ocean after being awakened by humans was confirmed in supplemental material so what it's been down there this whole time nobody noticed sure maybe interrupted from an ocean trench you know or a crevasse crevice it's just a theory I mean for all we know it's from another planet of blue here Abrams also confirmed that this Clover was a baby which explains why the one seen in the clover-filled Paradox is so much bigger [Music] actually number 14 killer count Scream Six this isn't the first scream entry and it won't be the last while beforehand not a constant it seemed like the franchise had gotten comfortable with having two killers per film there are always two killers but upping the count to three has been a popular theory for each sequel so it makes sense that the fans would eventually be right while Scream 2 originally went this way before a script leak forced them to Pivot it's finally happened in Scream 6 when it's revealed the Bailey family is behind the killings in New York City he did this as a family hell yeah [ __ ] you should know better than anyone they're still not getting it look I don't know what you believe but I didn't commit those murders in Woodsboro it wasn't me well we know that of course you didn't what do you think this is based on some [ __ ] conspiracy theory technically speaking though you could count four Killers if you include Jason from the film's opening now I see something red number 13 Jason is a deadite Jason Goes to Hell the final Friday again this is just one sequel director's interpretation but it still counts for this list well I was actually referring to your claim that Jason Voorhees is not truly dead what you think of as Jason is not Jason that body he's wearing that's just me that boy knows how to dress in the ninth at Friday the 13th film Jason Goes to Hell spotted can be the Necronomicon AKA The Book of the Dead along with the candarian dagger from the Evil Dead franchise it's just an Easter egg but according to director Adam Marcus it's an entire explanation his reasoning for Jason's evil and Undead nature stems from Mrs Voorhees reading from the book to bring her son back to life whether you believe this or not it did reportedly get the approval of Evil Dead Creator Sam Raimi and like as not the closest to an actual crossover we'll get is the comic book miniseries Freddy versus Jason versus Ash number 12. Predators breed aliens Alien versus Predator sure the AVP movies exist firmly in their own branch of the universe but it undeniably answers a few questions regarding the two species in Predator 2 fans noticed a trophy xenomorph skull aboard the yawuja ship given the animalistic nature of the former and hunting nature of the latter this essentially confirmed that one species preyed on the other but some fans speculated it went deeper than that given that xenomorph breeding can be a controlled process some thought that the Predators might have been doing so the express purpose of hunting them sure enough the first crossover movie reveals they've been doing this for thousands of years with human incubators no less every hundred years the gods would return [Music] when they did they would expect a sacrifice humans were used to breed the ultimate prey whether the Predators created the Xenomorphs outrights is a whole other Theory number 11 time travel The Blair Witch Project The Blair Witch Project is a film better left ambiguous but what are you gonna do when sequels come along with a few details given regarding the first film's actual plot some fans have come to the conclusion that the three characters were transported back to the 1940s by the titular witch before coming across Rustin parr's cabin finally one day old Mr Park come down into the market and said I'm finally finished it's a little complicated to fully explain here but the manipulation of time is at least confirmed in the 2016 sequel simply titled Blair Witch in it the main characters separate in the woods before reuniting only their significant disagreement in how long it's been was the last time you saw us uh earlier this afternoon I'm not lying it's been five days since we saw you since the existence of the witch is also seemingly confirmed so too is its ability to manipulate at one's perception of time number 10 a different death pet cemetery when you're remaking a well-known horror movie you often want to stay within the general confines of the original but tweak a few small details to keep things fresh with this in mind fans foresawar away that's 2019's at pet cemetery could make the classic story its own in the Stephen King novel and the 1989 adaptation toddler Gage Creed Is tragically killed by a speeding truck and his father Lewis revives him in the mystical grounds past the titular Cemetery trouble is nothing comes back the same seeing as Gage has an older sister Ellie in every version fans figured it might be interesting if she was the one who turned this was confirmed when the second trailer for the Remake was released [Music] the great and terrible number nine Michael Myers is cursed Halloween franchise [Music] activities were inundated with seemingly unkillable slashes most of them of these silent lumbering variety while fans are naturally going to come up with a slew of explanations this 1995 sequel may be proof that some things are better left to the imagination the years I've been convinced there must be some reason some method behind Michael's Madness and the common link I found is Thorne in the curse of Michael Myers the producers cut anyway it revealed that the titular villain was actually inducted into the cult of Thorne whereby he's imbued with supernatural abilities and the drive to kill his family to ensure prosperity for the community Michael You're A final sacrifice Michael you can make him stop it it's honestly bad storytelling whatever way you slice it but thankfully this is just one of the multiple Halloween continuities so you're not beholden to it if you still want to enjoy the franchise wasn't it her brother who like cold-blooded murdered all those teenagers no that's just a bit that some people made up to make him feel better I think number eight Kirby's survival scream four [Music] curvy the scream franchise has so many fan favorite characters that it became known for revealing at least one Survivor sometime after the climaxes however one character's fate that was left up in the air for several years was scream 4's Kirby Reed sure I know I know it's okay doesn't happen as fast it does in the movies after being stabbed twice and left for dead by Charlie it seemed likely she bled out before authorities arrived Dewey later only informs Jill of Sydney's survival but fans theorized that family confidentiality laws might have prevented him from mentioning Kirby I saw Trevor killer look we don't know yet seemed we'd never know when initial plans for sequels became shelved but finally 2022's scream confirmed her survival with a subtle Easter egg Hayden Pelletier then reprized the role in Scream 6. only her survival this time is much more definite so that in a scary movie Once number seven get out is a sequel to Being John Malkovich get out I know I know I know I know okay well I'm trying to work towards this look what I'm about to tell you gonna sound crazy you ready all right try me okay this one is almost too ludicrous to actually be true but when the Creator confirms it can we really argue can I be anybody that I want to be well you actually you can be John Malkovich it's perfect what's my second choice but it's wonderful this Theory stems from the movie's inclusion of shared actor Catherine Keena supposedly Kina plays the same character who after having experienced managing a business whereby people can enter and control the mind of John Malkovich takes on a new identity and teams with the elders to shake things up she marries into the Armitage family who has experience with neurosurgery and together they're able to perfect the process and start importing people into black bodies on a wide scale no sink into the floor wait wait wait wait wait wait [Music] ludicrous yes but get out Creator Jordan peel has been quoted as saying as far as I'm concerned it's true so there you go and don't ever ever say that I'll do nothing number six Richie is gay it's this Theory actually goes all the way back to the original Stephen King novel hey Eddie these are birth control pills yeah and I'm saving it for your sister this is private stuff Rita's inferred Richie tosia's playful ribbing of Eddie kasprak as being more than friendly even though King didn't intentionally write it that way the theory resurfaced in 2017 with the Advent of the first theatrical adaptation Are you seriously it doesn't smell like kakatomi Senor okay I I can smell that from here it's probably just your breath walking back into your face with the release of 2019's it chapter 2 Richie's sexuality was indeed confirmed not only that but at all but solidified the notion that Richie indeed had feelings for Eddie prior to the latter's death who stabbed Bowers with a knife he pulled under also me married a woman 10 no body mass me yeah and braver than you think though Kings have been known to criticize major changes in his adaptations he actually approved of the official inclusion calling the added character detail kind of Genius it just goes to show that stories are constantly evolving often for the better be proud number five split takes place in the unbreakable Universe split for many the release of 2016 split marked a return to form for writer director M Night Shyamalan for some they suspected beforehand that it was a backdoor sequel to 2000's unbreakable I almost gave up hope there were so many times I questioned myself those people but I found you while split is at heart a standalone psychological Thriller the fact that it centers on a killer with dissociative identity disorder with one personality able to alter physical makeup and imbue superhuman abilities had people wondering this is so cool they're gonna believe we exist now right they're gonna have to seeing as talks of a sequel to shyamalan's grounded superhero movie Unbreakable were heating up around the same time fans wondered if that and split were one and the same thankfully the secret was well kept for most audiences so the appearance of Bruce Willis's David Dunn at the end remained a surprise they gave him a funny name too what was it Mr glass number four Final Destination 5 is a prequel Final Destination 5. you'd think a movie called Final Destination 5 would follow up the events of the first four but that's just what producers were counting on when they released it in 2011. we all gotta get off what are you talking about the bridge is gonna collapse what we're all gonna die though the movie goes through the motions of a regular Final Destination film the final scene reveals it takes place in the year of 2000 and that the main protagonists are actually on the doomed flight 180 from the original film what's all that about I have no idea it's a neat twist and the movie surprisingly earned the highest marks of the franchise still you can't keep deductive fans down as this plot Point became a popular Theory online beforehand by the time they saw the movie and noticed subtle Clues like out of date license plates they knew the reveal was imminent oh my God damn number three Lawrence Gordon became an accomplice saw the saw franchise saw seven movies released every October between 2004 and 2010 but it wasn't until the supposed Final Chapter that the most long-standing question got answered what happened to Dr Gordon all right in one of the most shocking endings in movie history the original saw sees Gordon amputate his foot and crawl away in search of help the idea of Gordon Bleeding Out seemed anticlimactic to fans so his survival made the most sense however seeing as he'd need immediate medical attention and the fact that the bathroom never gets discovered LED fans to believe he was helped by his very captors and since jigsaw recruits multiple victims it made sense Gordon would join the team with a new lease on life sure enough two Jesus Christ was an engineer Prometheus this Revelation doesn't actually come about in the film itself and it would frankly be quite crazy if it did but it has been confirmed by director Ridley Scott all the same can you imagine how disappointing it would be for you to hear the same thing from your creator [Laughter] I guess it's a good thing you can't be disappointed in this sci-fi horror prequel to The Alien franchise it's revealed that Humanity was planted by a biologically similar extraterrestrial race known as the engineers about two thousand years before the film's events Engineers attempted to wipe out Humanity but failed to even make the trip to Earth long has it been dead two thousand years give or take timeline wise fans theorize this was in conjunction with the days of Jesus Christ indeed Scott later clarified that the attempted genocide would have been in response to humans crucifying an engineer and misery but Scott to later removed this detail for being a little two on the nose it is New Year's Day the unified Lord 1994 my name is

caretaker The Shining Here's Johnny The Shining is one of those movies that transcends any one interpretation perhaps even if it's writer director but for the sake of this list we'll defer to Stanley Kubrick's statements Circa 1982. words of wisdom lied words of wisdom though the film's classic status took time to develop hardcore cinephiles were already dissecting it in this case some took Jack torrance's appearance in a photograph taken at the Overlook in 1921 as an indication that he was a direct Reincarnation of a previous caretaker I'm sorry to differ with you sir but you are the caretaker you've always been the caretaker While others infer other things like Jack was instead absorbed into the hotel cobrick was actually a proponent of The Reincarnation Theory while his take certainly holds more weights than others we'll always love ruminating on multiple interpretations with this endlessly mystifying film [Music] and around did you enjoy this video check out these other
