It kind of makes sense, in a way. When the villain is possessing someone, they're more mysterious, and when they're revealed the mystery is lost. The power of the imagination to make the unknown horrible is astonishing.

Hell, even Voldemort was scarier before he actually showed up.

Yes. It applies to all the "hidden" characters and plot devices, actually. Coming up with an actually impressive reveal is one of the hardest things a writer must do.

It's true. I'm trying to think of what the best reveal I've encountered is, but I'm kind of drawing a blank atm.

The power of the imagination to make the unknown horrible is astonishing.

On a related note, one of the smartest things Supernatural ever did was making the hellhounds invisible. Not just from a budgetary angle, but because nothing is more terrifying than the monster you can't actually see.

Same with RTD and the monster in Midnight on Doctor Who. One of David Tennant's best performances as the Doctor IMO.
