Someone's face, or whole body, is kept in shadows until just the right moment to come out and show his/her face to the other characters and/or the audience. This person might be someone the audience knows, or looks like that person, or it might just be someone we don't know, but it's time to see who this character looks like. The duration of the shadow hiding can also vary. It could be just a few seconds, to spending several episodes not seeing this person. And how much shadow there is can also vary. This can range from going into the only source of light in a dark area, to leaving the only shadow in a bright area. This is especially popular in some High Fantasy (usually involving a shadow in a lighted scene) and Film Noir (usually involving a light in a dark scene). If anyone has dark powers, expect them to use this at least once. Occasionally comically subverted by having someone cluelessly turn on the lights to reveal the darkness-shrouded figure. A Sub-Trope of The Reveal, Chiaroscuro, Rule of Drama. A Sister Trope to Lightning Reveal, The Unmasking. Compare Face Framed in Shadow, Dramatic Spotlight, Natural Spotlight, Face-Revealing Turn. Contrast The Unreveal. |

The☆Ultraman has a race of alien slavers called the Baladons, who released various past kaiju of the Ultra Series from their cells, one at a time, to hunt down the humans. Their final and strongest monster, Red King, is revealed in this manner, being obscured by shadows but the iconic Red King screech being faintly audible, before the entire monster makes itself known to audiences. | |

The Simpsons: Played for Laughs. Bart and Lisa meet a shady figure in a parking garage, and he stands in the shadows as he tells them to investigate Sideshow Bob's successful run for mayor, but refuses to give away his identity. Suddenly Homer drives up, illuminating the man in his headlights, and cheerfully calls out "Hi, Mr. Smithers!" | |

My Little Pony: "My Little Pony: Rescue at Midnight Castle": Tirac spends most of his early scenes hidden in the gloom of his throne room and only steps into the light when he is about to use his Rainbow of Darkness for the first time. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "A Royal Problem": Daybreaker appears at first completely obscured by shadows, so that only the dark silhouette of an alicorn (with no mane or tail) can be seen. This increases the impact of the Wham Shot when she lights up her Flaming Hair and reveals herself as Celestia's Evil Twin. "School Raze – Part 1": Cozy Glow does this as she reveals her true nature to Starlight Glimmer being held hostage and announces her plan to take over Equestria. |

In the first two issues of The Batman Adventures, the Penguin and Catwoman receive two-way video screens that put them in contact with a figure hidden in the shadows... until a hapless henchman turns on the lights to reveal the Joker. In both cases, Joker shoots the offending minion and continues the conversation as if nothing had happened. | |

Supernatural: In "What Is and What Should Never Be", the shadow of the djinn appears on the screen behind the woman in white before he appears. In the Season 6 finale, the third fragment of Sam inside his mindscape pulls this off to unsettling effect. When Sam first finds him, he's silhouetted in shadow. Then he stands up, and his face is illuminated, revealing he's disheveled as he explains to Sam that he's the fragment that remembers their time being tortured in Hell. |

In The Order of the Stick, Xykon won't let the Creature in the Darkness step out of the shadows until it's dramatically appropriate. The creature was supposed to do this during the big battle at Dorukan's Gate, but things didn't quite go to plan. It's spent years hiding in shadows, being shut in a box, or being forced to carry around a magical (albeit nice-looking) umbrella that creates darkness beneath it. | |

Screamers. Just as he's about to use the escape rocket to get off the planet, Colonel Hendrickson is knocked down and his weapon taken by one of the human Screamers, who then steps out of the dark to reveal he's Hendrickson's Number Two, who should have been killed by the Screamers when they swarmed the Alliance base. Turns out the real Number Two was killed and replaced by the Screamer before the events of the movie even started. | |

Batman Beyond: "Splicers": Terry is spliced with vampire bat DNA by Dr. Cuvier. After breaking free of his restraints and saving Barbara and DA Young from Cuvier's mooks, Terry goes back to the Batcave. First, all we see is a massive silhouette of Batman... and then Terry throws his mask at Bruce's feet and comes into the light, revealing he's become a Man-Bat. Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker: When we first see the Jokerz and their gang speak with their leader, he is partly concealed in the shadows at first, except for his red Glowing Eyes of Doom and his grin, but then, after shooting Bonk dead for defecting him, he emerges from the shadows, revealing himself to be the newly-resurrected Joker. |

In Avengers: Infinity War, Steve Rogers reveals himself after coming to help Wanda and Vision by walking out of the shadows that had previously been hiding his face. In Thor: Love and Thunder, having his plan been exposed by Jane Foster, Gorr the God Butcher proceeds to reveal his creepy white persona, coming out of the endless, all-encompassing shadows of his tent. It's SUPER effective, given the aesthetic of the Shadow Realm makes this entrance colorless. |

Batman: Arkham City: The Joker's first on-screen appearance in the game is this, with his face hidden in shadows after he seemingly faked his death with a Body Double to ambush Batman from behind. Batman initially guesses that Joker was just Playing Sick and nothing's wrong with him... until Joker steps into the light and reveals the nasty rash on his face: | |

Love, Death & Robots. Played for horror at the end of "Beyond the Aquila Rift". As the alien emerges from the shadows, it first appears to resemble a slightly exotic Pink-Skinned Space Babe. However, as it comes fully into view, it's revealed to be a horrible, oozing, multi-eyed Starfish Alien that resembles a Giant Spider. | |

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): Twice this occurs. When Godzilla is approaching Castle Bravo underwater, it's completely dark outside... then a flare of blue light from Godzilla's spines reveal his silhouette slowly approaching before darkness closes back in. Then the light flashes again, revealing Godzilla getting closer. When Godzilla and Mothra have Ghidorah down, Ghidorah's overhead stormclouds turn red as Rodan's silhouette materializes and he makes his entrance onto the Final Battle with a Dynamic Entry upon Mothra. |

In The Lord of the Rings, a revived Gandalf the White keeps his face and new garments hidden until it is time to reveal himself, inadvertently causing much fear and suspicion as the only other old man in white robes the heroes know about is one of the world’s greatest enemies. The films actually invert this, by having him reveal himself as a blinding light fades. | |

Señor Senior Senior records a warning message about an upcoming heist by Junior and Shego (he'd gotten annoyed with them because, after he hired Shego to tutor Junior in villainy, she kept blowing him off whenever he tried to check in on them). He records the message in a dark room with only his eyes showing... until Junior barges in and turns on the light. | |

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. Director of the Arkham Asylum Hugo Strange has worked out the identity of Jack the Ripper and asks Bruce Wayne to contact Batman for a meeting (it's implied he knows they're the same man). Shortly before the appointed time, Hugo finds a cloaked man waiting in his dark office and so starts discussing his theory about the killer, only to have an Oh, Crap! when Jack the Ripper steps out of the shadows instead of Batman. | |

There's a scene in Land of the Dead where Zombie Infectee Cholo was heading back to the city, determined to settle things with his Bad Boss Kaufman before dying. When Kaufman is trying to flee the zombie invaded city, we see Cholo take a shot at him while standing in the shadows and miss. Kaufman shoots back, hitting him in the chest, and Cholo falls. Kaufman goes back to packing his bags into the escape car only to hear a noise. Turning, he turns to see Cholo walking towards him. "You're dead!" Kaufman shouts. Cholo then finally comes into the light, revealing that he had turned into a zombie at some point while walking back into the city, and he's now close enough to do a Deadly Lunge at Kaufman. Kaufman reacts by saying "Oh god, you are dead!" in dismay. | |

House of the Dragon: The dragon once ridden by King Jaehaerys, Vermithor, lives in a dark cave beneath Dragonstone. Daemon Targaryen goes in that cave singing an old Valyrian song with the intent of taming the beast so he can have a new rider and Weapon of Mass Destruction for the faction of the Blacks, and the gigantic beast first signals its presence (and becomes first visible in the dark) by breathing fire at the ceiling. |

In the first part of Hope for the Heartless, Avalina's two first meetings with the Horned King include him concealing himself in shadows for a reason. During their third meeting, he reveals himself fully to her by slowly walking out of the shadows, giving her a major scare at the confirmation to her suspicions about who she's dealing with. While the Horned King's identity is never a secret to the readers, the effect is still strong when the reveal is told from Avalina's POV. | |

In Thor: Love and Thunder, having his plan been exposed by Jane Foster, Gorr the God Butcher proceeds to reveal his creepy white persona, coming out of the endless, all-encompassing shadows of his tent. It's SUPER effective, given the aesthetic of the Shadow Realm makes this entrance colorless. | |

In the science fiction series, Alterien, the antagonist, Theseus Spencer reveals himself to be the one behind the string of terrorist attacks executed by brainwashed people. Theseus had actually used his telepathy to program them into doing what he wanted in an elaborate test to see if Oberon was another Alterien. | |

Angel himself does this in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Innocence", knocking out the lights, then emerging in Game Face to attack Willow in the Internal Reveal that he's turned evil. Given Angelus' love for mind games, he's obviously doing it deliberately to scare everyone. | |

In Quest for Camelot Ruber is first introduced by coming from a dark hallway before secretly following the knights to the round table. This is also how Garrett was introduced after Kayley fell into his net and before he defeats Ruber's ironmen. |

Battletech achieves the same basic visual effect with a slow-moving hatch in a moodily-lit airlock for The Reveal that a certain character is not as dead as the player character had been led to believe. | |

In The Fly (1986) remake, during the "Insect Politics" scene, when Veronica tells Brundle, "I don't know what you're trying to say," he finally reveals himself to her, as he steps into the light coming from the skylight. | |

Star Trek: Voyager. In "Persistence of Vision", the crew encounters an alien who greets them with his Face Framed in Shadow, which Captain Janeway puts down to psychological warfare. When he does step into the light, Janeway is shocked to see her fiance Mark whom she left back on Earth, as the alien is using telepathy to lure victims. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation Our very first look at Captain Jean-Luc Picard in "Encounter at Farpoint" is this trope, as he steps into the light to look out a window of the Enterprise. In "Redemption", Sela showing her face is the last shot. This is The Reveal that she is the Romulan daughter of Tasha Yar. |
