There's a bit of a logical flaw in something being behind them.
Those two faces are looking in the same direction, apparently at the same thing, in fear or terror. Why would two people be looking the exact same place if the object of their fear was behind them?
If that is an image of what they are afraid of it's likely a reflection of what they are looking at. The only likely way it isn't is if they are looking at a reflection, and they'd almost certainly turn around to look at it directly. We do see a light source reflected in their eyes, and in darkness looking towards the major light source you won't see much if anything in the way of reflections of what's behind you. If what we see between them were a reflection, we should see it in reflected in their eyes as well.

If there is an object meant to be there between them, the graphic artist that put it there made some serious mistakes.

In all honesty, it was the first thing I noticed as well. And this was before anyone had written about the "demon" in the picture. It stands out quite a bit to be sure. If it is a fluke, it's a one in a million one.

I applaud the effort... but it seems unlikely that the people running the campaign, or the writers or J.J. will release something for a net petition...

Although I expect people to be parading proudly should something happen to simply coincide with the petition by sheer coincidence. Razz

real, not, blah blah.

I know alot of people think the demon thing is fake and we're reading too far into the picture. That seems dumb to me; JJ Abrams doesn't let something that obvious just slide by. It's meant to be there. In any case, all along I've been searching for meaning on it, etc.

Today I was looking through my bookshelf and saw this:
[img]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1146/1352325172_ae2a9b256f.jpg?v=0[/img]

Which to me really resembled the demon thing, this:
[img]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1065/1351435133_ed53e59c2e.jpg?v=0[/img]

It occurred to me that maybe the demon thing is just a gargoyle on some building behind them or something; maybe in the trailer there's a building with gargoyles or something, who knows, but maybe it's not as much of a clue as I thought.

How many of you guys think it's some kind of clue, and how many think it's "hair"?


I have that book. And I don't believe they look even remotely similar.
I also had a theory strikingly similar to the one you said about the girls being on a building or near a building with gargoyle statues.
I was told it was hair. At this point I really don't give a shit what it is.
Just want to see the film to be honest.

Do I still think its hair?
Well, I can't see hair.
Poor eye sight or overactive imagination?
Don't know.
And I refuse to say anything further.
But, whatever.
All is well...
*waits for January to come*

demon

the demon in the girls hair could be a sheer optical illusion because of the way their hair is and the light behind them creates the demon. I see it as plain as day, but i really dont think it was ment to be there on purpose but who am i to say really...... just an opinion Confused

My biggest problem with it being an "optical illusion" is that even if it just so happened to have been coincidence, they take a crap load of photos and pick the best. You don't think anyone noticed it when they picked it to be used. They put it there...come on now.

exactly. it might not mean anything as so far as movie plot, but it's there on purpose.
