In a revelation that has horror fans buzzing, actor Tony Moran, who portrayed Michael Myers in the original 1978 Halloween film, recently shared a secret about the movie’s iconic poster that few had ever noticed. At a fan convention, Moran pointed out what he called a “hidden face” cleverly embedded within the image, which most had always seen as just a knife-wielding hand.
Moran explained the surprise in detail, urging fans to look closely and spot the “profile of a face” in the supposedly straightforward hand graphic. As onlookers finally saw the eyes, nose, and mouth, their reactions ranged from shock to fascination, with some saying they could never view the image as just a hand again.
The poster’s artist, Robert Gleason, has since confirmed that the eerie face wasn’t intentional—making this hidden detail all the more chilling. TikTok reactions to this reveal ranged from stunned disbelief to claims of pareidolia, where the mind perceives familiar patterns.
Horror buffs are now sure of one thing: that poster is creepier than ever.
