## Audio Cue

As soon as a stealthy Killer starts to move again, thus cancelling **Insidious**, a loud sound cue titled *"Stinger"* plays to warn Survivors:

## Trivia

* Since the introduction of The Pig, the Terror Radius gradually fades away instead of being instantly gone after **Insidious** becomes active.
* The Killer still makes breathing noises while under the effect of **Insidious**, which is a way for attentive Survivors to still notice their presence.
* Before **Insidious** was updated with the ***Undetectable*** **Status Effect**, the description mentioning stealth confused many Players and led to beliefs such as the Killer turning invisible, rather than just masking their Terror Radius and Stain.
	+ Some languages even mistranslated the stealth to mean invisibility, further increasing the confusion.
* Using a Killer's Power will automatically cancel **Insidious**.
	+ However, moving your camera around, stalking Survivors as The Shape or The Ghost Face or phase-walking as The Spirit will not cancel **Insidious**.
	+ Setting a **Bear Trap** as The Trapper will not cancel **Insidious** either.
* **Insidious** does not affect Hums or Lullabies.
