Evidence
This term usually refers to the moment when an actor in a play or movie looks directly at the audience. In this case, when Dracula catches Mina looking at him, it is unclear whether Mina is hallucinating the entire scene, thus implicating the viewer as well. — Sophia Rose Arjana, Muslims in the Western Imagination, 1292
