Those images are not part of the lantern's design. At least not the one on the HHN front page. There is an actual design element to it when placed together like a puzzle (with a lot of missing pieces mind you). It has to be part of a crest or symbol. That's my opinion anyway.

I agree. I was studying the pictures (God help me...I need a life) and what I at first took to be a closeup on the ridges of a brain revealed themselves as some sort of design or perhaps calligraphy. There is definitely writing of some sort, and as you say possibly a design or a crest. I'm also thinking it could be some sort of seal. Jury remains out.

Ah, good old LT. They give us everything and nothing all at the same time.

Over on HHN Rumors they've been going at the pictures as if they were a jigsaw puzzle. And two of them do seem to match up - place the Festival of the Dead photo to the left of the Midway of the Bizarre.

I saw that... they patterns form an arc.... but the other pics don't seem to match up as well. Also, try zooming in on the Midway pic, bottom left corner.... basically to the left of the guy in the purple costume

I agree there is a logo top left corner. Also that these need to be fitted together like a puzzle.

The pattern to me looks like burn marks.

Actually, it appears to me that the pattern or crest or whatever it is has been burned into or onto the pictures. Question: was this done after the fact or is this image simply mysteriously appearing on old pictures? The latter is spookier, IMO.

Maybe those marks were always there and just now started coming out... like re-appearing ink.

OR

Remember the movie "National Treasure"? Hidden markings appeared after heat was applied. Maybe heat, apparently fire if you look at the burn holes, got to these existing pictures and revealed the lantern shadows.

I agree B, that's spookier

indeed the ridge is entirely different than the rest of the lines. In order to make the ridges match you have to increase the size of the the midway picture. I see a picture superimposed but its hard to see.... it is definitely incomplete.

To fuel the flame of the idea that it's a puzzle, here are some files to look over. I took each image bumped up the dark burns, and turned it black and white so that the burn marks become more prominent. Here is what I've been able to piece together:

Here is what it looks like with what seems to be the lines connected:

And for all those photoshop owners out there wanting to take a crack at it, here is the psd file:

I dropped the rez on it, because it was taking forever to upload. If anyone really needs the 15x15 in file let me know and I'll put it up.

This happened in a movie awhile back (probably quite a few). What was it called? There was a defect in all the photos they took with their camera. So they printed them all out. And they realized it was a large design that was burned onto all of them. Like a giant poster.

I get that feeling here as well. First thought was, ok, this isn't the lantern. Second thought, is this a version of the LT crest? Jury is out thus far.

Also comparing the Screamhouse pictures with Cindy in her coffin, the original on the HHN website under Environments did have some odd patterns that were made by I'm guessing a Gobo used to cast spooky shadows in the house. But the altered photo has been completely bleached of color leaving it sepia toned - you can barely make out poor Cindy! Also near the "burn mark" it almost looks like a coffee stain?

That's pretty much exactly what I came to find today as well. There are a lot more spindly lantern-esque lines though. Thought it would create a variation of the LT logo to be honest.

Can someone do a little Photoshop work to try to bring out the patterns? I'm at work, so I can't do it mesylf. I'm curious as to what a negative image might reveal.

[edit - you beat me to it...]

For those trying to fit togeter a puzzle, keep in mind the different ways the designers could screw with us. The pieces may need to be:

  • rotated (by any number of defrees)
  • mirrored (about an axis or diagonal)
  • resized
  • overlapped

That sort of looks like the upper left part of a Satanic Pentacle, Goat of Mendes or Baphomet.

here are some examples for comparison:

look at it from far away and most of the pieces have a ridge piece.... assign them to a circle...

I see a girls head possibly.... it looks like Mona Lisa sort of.

Thank you for uploading this. It is only a few pieces of a much larger design. Still betting on a crest of some kind.

So here is my two cents:

I believe that the designs on the pictures are part of a family tree. Most family trees also have the family crest shown with the tree. Previously when I asked Ignatia Himmel about the origin of her name she replied with this; "I am partially of Latin-American descent and was named to honor ancestry on that side of the family tree." IH. On a side note if this is a family tree, then maybe the new icon will be the root of the family.
