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 PigIconHelpLoading pig.pngIconHelpLoading pig.pngIconHelpLoading pig.png, the Terror RadiusIconHelp terrorRadius.pngIconHelp terrorRadius.pngIconHelp terrorRadius.png 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, its description mentioning a stealth ability confused many (usually newer) Players into thinking of the ability turning the Killer invisible, rather than just masking the Red Stain and Terror Radius.
    • Some languages even outright mistranslated the stealth ability to mean invisibility.
  • Using a Killer's Power will automatically cancel Insidious.
    • However, moving your camera around, stalking Survivors as The ShapeIconHelpLoading shape.pngIconHelpLoading shape.pngIconHelpLoading shape.png or The Ghost FaceIconHelpLoading ghost.pngIconHelpLoading ghost.pngIconHelpLoading ghost.png or phase-walking as The SpiritIconHelpLoading spirit.pngIconHelpLoading spirit.pngIconHelpLoading spirit.png will not cancel Insidious.
    • Setting a Bear Trap as The TrapperIconHelpLoading trapper.pngIconHelpLoading trapper.pngIconHelpLoading trapper.png will not cancel Insidious either.
  • Insidious does not affect Hums or Lullabies.
