My son and I watch MST3K every night to relax and have a laugh together before bed. (Sappy, I know)
Anyways, in some episodes I've noticed that it looks as if Crow's head is facing us. I do realize there is a trick of the eye at times but I'm pretty sure there are some episodes where he is.
Anyone else noticed this?

It's a common illusion. Talked to death in the early days.

Don't sweat it, Mickey. Everything's been covered at one time or another.

If anyone's interested, here's a great demonstration of this type of optical illusion. You can print out a cool little dragon and see it in person. Description of illusionPrintable PDF |

There is a Film Crew thread in the "Rifftrax" section of the board.

Am I the only one to never see this illusion?

Am I the only one to never see this illusion? You kind of have to squint and turn your head sideways. Kind of like making Alan Steele look like Steve Reeves, only Steve's more shiny. |

I don't have to turn my head sideways to see Crow's head facing us.
It's sort of like when you're looking at hidden images in a Magic Eye book. You have to focus in a certain way.
The "Crow looking like he's facing us" illusion though is more noticeable during the Mike era IMO when the shadowrama effect was more sophisticated.

I've never thought it looked like Crow was facing the camera.
