In the new Jordan Peele horror movie Us, the director of Get Out returns with another terrifying tale, this time about the evil twins known as doppelgangers. Throughout history, they’ve gone by many names, but whether you call it a doppleganger, or doppelgänger with the umlaut, evil twin, double, duplicate, lookalike, or imposter, seeing your evil alternate doppleganger is an creepy, scary, unsettling experience, which is exactly why the Jordan Peele Us movie is all about the terrifying tethered.

With Us, Jordan Peele has spun a tale of tethers and twins that terrorize a family made up of Winston Duke and Lupita Nyong'o, and from the first sight of the scissors in the first official Us trailer, we were salivating over every trailer, clip and scene in the hopes of Us analysis or getting Us explained before the thriller is released in theaters in 2019. Throughout horror history, doppelgangers have been a staple of movies, TV, games, and more, and while they’ve racked up quite the kill count, the kills and deaths in doppelganger movies play second fiddle to the psychological terror. From David Lynch and Twin Peaks to Evil Ash Williams in Army of Darkness, doppelganger horror teaches us that the true monsters are within.
