I think my favorite [edit: ideal hope] for this sort of thing has 2-3 killers/antogonists/scary-phenomena, and one of them turns out to be natural, and one supernatural. So the audience actually has to opportunity to figure it out, rather than just be genre savvy and know it’ll eventually turn out to be supernatural.
Don’t leave me hanging like this, does the movie you are describing exist? (Though I guess your description is a major spoiler, you would need to go in without knowing whether there will be anything supernatural.)
Many of the feature length Scooby Doo cartoon films I watched as a child do a big reveal where, actually this time (because its a longer story) some aspect of the magic or monster turns out to be real. I think one actually has both the fake and real monster.
Oh, no I just made it up, alas. This is a sketch of how someone else should construct such a movie. (Maybe the movie exists but yeah if it did it’d unfortunately now be a spoiler in this context. :P)
There is a narrative-driven videogame that does exactly this, but unfortunately I found the execution mediocre. I can’t get spoilers to work in comments or I’d name it. Edit: It’s

Are you thinking of
Until Dawn?
(also it seems like I can get a spoiler tag to work in comments by starting a line with >! but not by putting text into :::spoiler [text] :::)
That’s the one. I couldn’t get either solution to work:
>! I am told this text should be spoilered
:::spoiler And this text too:::
Hmm, I have exactly one idea. Are you pressing shift+enter to new line? For me, if I do shift+enter
>! I don’t get a spoiler
But if I hit regular enter then type >!, the spoiler tag pops up as I’m typing (don’t need to wait to submit the question for it to appear)
That’s it! Thanks, I have no idea why shift+enter is special there.
This works
