[[caption-width-right:350: What's the matter? '''YOU SCARED!?''']]

* From ''Manga/DeathNote'' this happens to Naomi Misora on two separate occasions, once in a prequel and once in the main story. [[spoiler: She doesn't survive the second one.]]

* Happens to [[spoiler: Tohru]] in ''Manga/FruitsBasket''. In that case, the psycho is [[spoiler: Akito, who's going through a HUGE VillainousBreakdown. Tohru manages to turn the tables around via speaking to her gently and trying to offer her friendship. And then [[DeathByFallingOver Tohru falls off a cliff]]... and Akito soon has a HeelFaceTurn.]]

* In ''Literature/TheHeroicLegendOfArslan'', while at Peshawar, Arslan is cornered by [[spoiler: Hilmes]] when walking alone at the top of Peshawar's walls, with [[spoiler: Hilmes]] having killed the patrolling guard earlier. It's made clear that [[spoiler: Hilmes]] was toying with Arslan the entire time when he could have easily killed the boy.
* Anyone who has an encounter with Johan in ''Manga/{{Monster}}'' [[spoiler: usually does not survive the ordeal, although there have been exceptions.]]
** The scene in which [[spoiler: Dr. Reichwein counsels a mysterious patient, only to find out it's [[TheDragon Roberto.]]]]

* A homosexual variant occurs in ''Manga/InTheseWords'' where Asano ends up kidnapped and tortured by his StalkerWithACrush who also happens to be a SerialKiller. But the man, whose name he can't seem to remember, has no intention of killing him, at least not immediately, [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty not before he gets to satiate his desires]].

* [[ComicBook/XMen Uncanny X-Men 143]] “Demon” in which newest X-Man/girl Kitty Pryde is left alone to deal with an ''Film/{{Alien}}''-like demon.
* ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'': Chromedome goes inside of Overlord's head, alone, to find out how he was upgraded to be so strong. Overlord spends most of it confused, and asking to die. However, when Chromedome reveals Megatron is alive, Overlord hijacks the mental link, wakes himself up and goes off on a killing spree.

* The first issue of ''ComicBook/BlackMagick'' opens with Detective Rowan Black being called to a hostage scenario where the hostage-taker is asking for her specifically, by name. In order to secure the release of all of the hostages, Rowan agrees to allow herself to replace them. Once alone with the taker, [[BrainwashedAndCrazy it becomes clear that he has been put under a spell compelling him to kill Rowan]], [[FightingFromTheInside which he begs her to help him escape]]. [[spoiler:Rowan ''cannot'' help him, and is forced to kill him when he tries to [[BurnTheWitch burn her alive]]]].

* Every occasion in ''Fanfic/AMinorMiscalculation'' where someone is alone with Ragyo or Nui, but the best example is Chapter 24, [[spoiler: when Isshin is trapped in his mansion with ''both''.]]
* The ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'' fanfic ''Fanfic/DirtySympathy'' has [[spoiler: [[BigBad Kris]][[BadBoss toph]]]] visiting Apollo's apartment with [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink drain cleaner]] and [[FauxAffablyEvil reminding him to show up to work early.]]
* PlayedWith in the TrollFic ''Fanfic/CannibalRoleplayHomestuckThingRobloxWhatever''. Even though [[ObfuscatingStupidity Jake]] is being watched over by [[NosyNeighbor Jade and Nepeta]], they can barely do anything to help him while he is in the cannibalistic [[AxCrazy Gamzee]]’s house.
* The end of [[https://derpibooru.org/1348586?q=companion+cube this]] ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' comic has Twilight in bed while Starlight, recently showing a rather less than sane side, watches her.

* In ''Film/{{Cruising}}'', the cops' brilliant plan is to get their own man alone with the serial killer. Causes a moment of FridgeLogic later on. [[spoiler: Burns allows himself to be tied up by a man he suspects is the killer. His cop buddies bust in to save him, and he tells them they have no evidence because they busted in too soon. But if they'd waited, he would have been raped and killed.]]

* ''Film/{{Fargo}}''
** The film seems to be heading for this kind of climax when pregnant Marge Gunderson, the Brainerd, Minnesota sheriff, [[spoiler: ends up at the remote cabin occupied by PsychoForHire Gaear Grimsrud. She captures him easily]].
** To contrast, [[spoiler:kidnapping victim Jean Lundegaard is in a similar situation with Grimsrud sometime earlier in the film while Carl goes to meet her father Wade. It ends much worse for her; when Carl returns, Jean is dead, with Grimsrud saying he killed her because she was screaming too much.]]

* ''Film/TheMillenniumTrilogy'': In ''The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'', Mikael is unaware of [[spoiler:Martin]]'s true nature until he gets a tranquilizer dart jammed into his neck. [[spoiler:Martin]] was probably going to let Mikael go if Mikael didn't make a slip in conversation.

** Also, [[spoiler: Robert Muldoon]] comes across a Velociraptor while journeying through a forest. He tries to kill it first, but suddenly ''another Velociraptor'' surprises him, killing the unsuspecting victim. Clever girl, indeed.

* In ''Film/PatchAdams'' [[spoiler: Patch's girlfriend and fellow doctor Carin responds to a call from a chronically depressed patient. After some creepy dialogue between Carin and Larry, we cut to a scene where the dean tells Patch he killed her and then himself.]] Quite a shocking development in an otherwise upbeat movie. {{Truth in Television}} in that Patch Adams' [[spoiler:{{real life}} best friend died that way. Though his friend was a man whom he had absolutely no romantic interest in.]]

* Eli Sunday realizes too late that he has [[spoiler: walked into his own death trap]] in the final scene of ''Film/ThereWillBeBlood'' when he goes to Daniel Plainview's private bowling alley and sends the servant off.

* In ''Film/DarkAugust'', Jackie sneaks into the house of [=McDermott=], who's put a curse on her boyfriend Sal.

[[spoiler:She manages to fight him off and escapes with the wax ball he used to place the curse.]]

* In the novel ''Falling'' by Creator/ChristopherPike, FBI agent Kelly Feinman thinks she has tracked down the Acid Man serial killer, [[spoiler: Michael Grander. She goes to interview Michael's university professor, Gene Banks, to get background info to support her case on Michael. All the while she has kept her insights secret from the rest of the FBI. Professor Banks invites her to his apartment to supply information on Michael. While there, Kelly deduces Banks is the Acid Man and had all along planned to frame Michael. Banks holds her hostage and pours acid on her, with the FBI none the wiser.]]

%%* How [[spoiler: Kent and Ephraim]] meet their ends in ''Literature/TheTroop''.

* In ''Literature/ZForZachariah'', the main protagonist discovers the man she's nursed back from radiation sickness, possibly the only other living human being on the planet, turns out to be a controlling, borderline-sociopath who ''shoots her'' in an attempt to make sure she can't run away.

* Just like in the film above, in ''Series/BatesMotel'' anyone stuck with [[VillainProtagonist Norman Bates]] is in grave danger. [[spoiler: Not even his girlfriend, Bradley Martin, was safe when she tried to leave town with him. He ended up killing her in one of his many psychotic episodes.]]
* ''Series/BlackMirror'', "Loch Henry": After Davis is hospitalized, Pia goes home with [[spoiler:his mother Janet. Upstairs, Pia finds old footage proving Janet and Davis' father as Iain Adair's co-murderer/torturers. Realizing she's alone in the house with her boyfriend's murderous mother, Pia flees...and dies, not because Janet kills her, but because she trips and hits her head.]]

* In season 2 of ''Series/{{Carnivale}}'', Sophie becomes the house maid of [[spoiler:[[TheAntichrist a very particular psycho]].]]

* ''Series/{{Community}}'' parodies the concept in the episode [[Recap/CommunityS5E03BasicInterglutealNumismatics "Basic Intergluteal Numismatics"]]. Annie is left alone with Duncan, after it appears he must be the Ass Crack Bandit. It features a "[[SeriousBusiness tense]]" scene in which Annie must pick up her keys without bending over. [[spoiler: Though it is quickly subverted when Duncan himself becomes a victim. And ironically, it is likely that Annie herself is likely the bandit, thus actually inverting this.]]

* A very creepy DoubleSubversion in the six-episode anthology ''Darknet''. The second episode starts with a police officer entering an apartment to question a woman about a murder in the building. The woman, an artist, begins asking all sorts of creepy questions about the murder, and the cop explains that a knife was used to slice the victim's throat, after which the victim's blood was used to paint something on the wall. It's all but stated that the woman is the killer and the cop is Alone With The Psycho... until she asks when the murder happened and the cop answers [[spoiler: "It hasn't happened yet" and attacks her, seizing a kitchen knife and slicing her throat.]]

** And the ending of season 2 has [[spoiler:Doakes and Dexter sharing a few deep, emotional conversations, and bonding a bit, while Doakes is Dexter's prisoner at the cabin.]]
** An episode of season 6 has [[spoiler: Batista visit the house of Doomsday Adam, realizing only too late that he and his wife are working with the [[KnightTemplar Doomsday]] [[SerialKiller Killer]], Travis Marshall.]]

* In the ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' episode "The Talking Dead", a serial killer has arranged for certain people's names to appear in the obituaries, and is then making them true. One of the names is that of Detective Watts. [[spoiler: The widow of a man who had reason to blame all the victims for his descent into crime and eventual death confesses. While she's taken away, Detective Watts offers to take her daughter to the fair, before the orphanage has to collect her. After they've gone, Murdoch thinks about a couple of inconsistencies, and realises the motive was right, but it wasn't the mother...]]

%%* Used in an episode of ''Series/NewTricks'', with the slight modification that the mild-mannered murderer was not even a suspect in the case at the time.

** Season 1 has Emily and [[spoiler: Toby]] alone together while the others desperately look for her and try to call her. [[spoiler: they're wrong about him being the psycho, so technically the trope is averted, but that's what they think it is.]]
** Season 1 finale has Spencer alone with [[spoiler: Ian]] at the church.
** The second season finale has Spencer again, this time with [[spoiler: Mona.]]
** And in "The Lady Killer", it's Emily's turn to be alone with [[spoiler: [[SecretIdentity Nathan]] [[{{Yandere}} St]] [[StalkerWithACrush Germain]].]]

** ZigZagged in the episode "Agua Cadaver". [[spoiler: Rosemary is alone with Greg, when Laura finds handwriting evidence that points to Greg and rushes to save Rosemary, leaving Neil and Nicola behind. Greg didn't do it, and further analysis points to Neil. Greg, Laura and Rosemary rush back to save Nicola. They find her standing over Neil's body, claiming he attacked her. They then find evidence on the body of Neil's innocence and thus Nicola's guilt. Nicola is caught, and fortunately, Neil is OnlyMostlyDead.]]

** [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in the first episode "[[Recap/SherlockS01E01AStudyInPink A Study in Pink]]". Sherlock leaves the flat, ostensibly to [[INeedToGoIronMyDog "get some air"]], leaving John to sit about in confusion and continue trying to track down a victim's phone through its GPS. After only a few minutes, John realises that [[spoiler: the phone was at Baker Street because the [[SerialKiller cabbie]] who was there a few minutes ago had it - and now it's moving again, ''because Sherlock went out after him'']], putting Sherlock Alone With the Psycho. Played with in that Sherlock knows full well he's Alone With the Psycho, and ''actively put himself in that position''.

* ''VideoGame/FuntimeWithBuffy'' is about a little girl being left alone in the house, and being tasked with cleaning up her toys. All the while she's being pursued by a murderous toy rabbit.
* The DLC for ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' focused on a journalist entering a suspected serial killer's house and finding all the proof she needs, just in time for him to come home. Depending on the way the player, um, plays, the main options are for the journalist to hide and sneak out, just plain sneak out, get found but escape, and die.
%%Examples?** Happens more than once in the game proper.
* This is a big part of Samara's loyalty mission in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''. She enlists your help to kill her serial killer daughter, and the mission has you seducing the daughter until she takes you home, at which point you're trapped alone in her apartment with her and have to keep talking to distract her until Samara can get there and save you. And if your KarmaMeter isn't extremely lopsided one way or the other, you'll fail that [[RuleOfThree third and last]] will save for sure (though Samara still has her BigDamnHeroes moment to save you).
* ''VideoGame/CondemnedCriminalOrigins'' has this in its second to last level, with a bit of a twist in that the psycho doesn't even get to the house until the end of the level, and the main character tricks him into thinking he is dead so he can take him by surprise.

* ''VideoGame/ActionDoom2UrbanBrawl'' has a level where, at the behest of an old woman, you seek her lost son in a forest and come across a lonely farm. Exploring, you find a RoomFullOfCrazy with lots and lots of newspaper clippings about kid disappearances, an imprisoned and beaten cop in the basement, and eventually [[GoodOldFisticuffs confront]] the SerialKiller himself in a barn full of butchered child corpses.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'': Ludovich Baert after Gaffgarion leaves the room is left alone with a very angry [[spoiler:Cardinal Delacroix]] who kills him in punishment for [[spoiler:bringing a fake stone instead of the real one]].

--> [[spoiler:'''Adachi:''' If crimes could be solved by appealing to morality, we wouldn't need the police!]]

* In ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'', Sam finds herself alone with the psycho stalking her and her friends on the mountain. It ultimately ends up being downplayed, however, as [[spoiler:while Josh's prank was never intended to harm anyone (physically, at least)]], it's still made clear that they are rather unhinged and [[spoiler:his prank could have easily gotten someone hurt or killed had something gone wrong. It just happens that [[{{Wendigo}} the actual danger]] to the group has no connection to the prank]].
* Happens in ''VideoGame/{{Outlast}}'', as well as in the expansion pack Outlast: Whistleblower.
* In ''VideoGame/FarCry5'', [[spoiler:the player character ends up stuck in a bunker with the psychotic cult leader they spent the entire game bringing down-after Hope County gets hit with a nuke from out of nowhere-with the cult leader intending to personally indoctrinate you, as the two of you are now trapped together]]. ''VideoGame/FarCryNewDawn'' reveals that [[spoiler:Seed successfully brainwashes the protagonist, who becomes his [[TheDragon Dragon]] as "The Judge"]].
* A heroic variant in ''VideoGame/RyseSonOfRome''. Emperor UsefulNotes/{{Nero}} is taking shelter in his vault with [[PlayerCharacter General Marius Titus]] while Boudica's barbarian army attacks Rome. Nero is more concerned about Damocles the RevenantZombie finding him instead. But as Marius tells his story to Nero, [[spoiler:the Emperor works out that Marius ''is'' Damocles, and he's locked in the same room as the man who's vowed to kill Nero for betraying Rome and murdering his family]].
* ''VideoGame/MrHoppsPlayhouse'': Your parents have gone missing, so it's just you and Mr. Hopp inside the house.
* ''VideoGame/TheDollShop'' has an unusual example where [[spoiler:the protagonist is the psycho,]] and the already-suspicious childhood friend of the dollmaker figures this out in the endings [[spoiler:where she discovers he's the one who kidnapped and killed the missing girl. He can either kill her as well, or let her go to tell the townspeople]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Inscryption}}'': The main premise of the game is that you are in a dark cabin playing a card game with a shadowy figure who intends to turn you into another card for his collection whether you win or lose. [[spoiler:After outsmarting him, you later end up alone with a ''different'' psycho in a factory, playing a card game to complete his "Great Transcendence".]]
* In ''VideoGame/PoliceQuestOpenSeason'', after lassoing the dog in Griffith Park, Carey is dragged off to the SerialKiller BigBad's apartment, and expectedly has to confront the psycho and his dog alone.
* ''VideoGame/SaikoNoSutoka'': The game revolves around Akira being kidnapped by the titular {{Yandere}} girl at their school in the middle of the night so that she could have him all by herself. Much of the game is spent avoiding Saiko while trying to find the code for the locked safe that's in the office, which contains the exit key. Despite obsessively fawning over Akira and her reassuring comments, Saiko is very much a [[FauxAffablyEvil deranged]] young woman who sadistically toys around with him.

* In ''VisualNovel/MajorMinor'' The Midnight Killer likes to do this a lot. They do this especially in the Convention Center. [[spoiler: Got an appointment with Max? Expect to die or be set up to die in some fashion.]]

* ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'' has an unusual variant presented in its "Missing Person" arc. Cyndi is trapped with [[spoiler:Charlotte]], who has kidnapped her and is threatening her. However, despite being taped to a chair, [[ManipulativeBastard Cyndi]] herself is very dangerous. [[spoiler:Eventually, her words drive Charlotte to slit her own throat. It's only through the interference of an FBI agent monitoring Charlotte's house that she survives. The arc ends with Charlotte in prison and Cyndi in a mental institution, so technically ''either'' girl qualifies as the psycho here.]]

* ''Webcomic/AgeMatters'': Near the end of both seasons, Rose Choi ends up alone with Stephen, the hitman who was hired to take out the CEO Daniel Yoon but goes after her to get to him. The first time, Rose gets lost in a crowd and Stephen offers to help her before leading her to a storage room and revealing his true colors. The second time, Stephen sneaks up on Rose after she has run off to be alone, away from her ex.

* This situation comes up in each season of WebVideo/WhereTheBearsAre. In the first season, [[spoiler: Nelson thinks that Todd is the killer and subdues him, only to be marched off by Cyril, the real killer.]] In the second season, [[spoiler: Nelson is menaced by one of Todd's exes, and Reggie is ambushed by Cyril but rescued by his new boyfriend Jeremy... who turns out to be that season's real killer.]]
* The season finale of WebVideo/{{Brains}} sees Alison in the lab alone with the murderer: [[spoiler: Professor Sherman]].

* In one of ''[[LetsPlay/{{Dream}} Dream's]]'' Minecraft Manhunts, in the Nether, right before Dream [[spoiler: killed [=BadBoyHalo=] by shooting his Strider]]in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7t5B69G0Dw "Minecraft Speedrunner VS 3 Hunters FINALE REMATCH,"]] [[spoiler: Bad was alone with Dream, who was trying to kill him.]]
--> '''Bad:''' [[spoiler: Guys, I'm alone with him, he's shooting me!]]

* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'': In episode 13 season 1, "Monkey Fist Strikes", Ron and Kim go to the home of AdventurerArchaeologist Lord Montgomery "Monty" Fiske in order to ask him a few questions about simian artefacts linked to the ancient art of Tai Shing Pek Kwar, also known as Monkey Fung Fu, when the ninja who stole one of the artefacts earlier reveals himself: [[spoiler:Lord Fiske himself, now calling himself Monkey Fist]]. [[FromBadToWorse To make matters worse,]] [[spoiler:"Kim" is actually just one of Wade's holographic images, since he really wanted to test it out and didn't expect a fight to break down. This leaves Ron alone with a superpowered master martial arts fighter and his butler]]. Just as this is revealed, [[spoiler:Kim, at her Cousin Larry's house, learns about Fiske's martial arts skills from Larry and manages to piece everything together. Thankfully for him, with Larry's geek advice Ron manages to get some of the mystical monkey power for himself and Rufus, giving him enough of an edge to put up a decent fight. Ultimately, Fist's martial arts skills prove too strong, and Ron resorts to taking him down by getting Rufus to destroy his monkey idols. Not willing to lose them, Fist catches them one by one until he is holding them all - and can no longer defend himself properly, resulting in Ron knocking him down.]]

* In ''Fanfic/SuicidalOverconfidence'', [[WesternAnimation/CentralPark Bitsy Brandenham]] meets with Wilson "ComicBook/TheKingpin" Fisk after her attempts at purchasing and destroying Central Park go south. [[ScrewPolitenessImASenior Bitsy]] being [[VillainBall Bitsy]], she insults Fisk seven ways to Sunday throughout the whole conversation, [[BullyingADragon and hits all of the Kingpin’s berserk buttons repeatedly]]. What is left of Bitsy [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown after Fisk pummels her to death with his bare hands]] was deliberately mauled bad enough to merit a closed-casket funeral.

* ''VideoGame/SaikoNoSutoka'': The game revolves around Akira being kidnapped by the titular {{Yandere}} girl at their school in the middle of the night so that she could have him all by herself. A chunk of the game is spent on avoiding Saiko while trying to find the code for the locked safe that's in the office, which contains the exit key. Despite obsessively fawning over Akira and her reassuring comments, Saiko is very much a [[FauxAffablyEvil malicious and deranged]] teenager who sadistically toys around with him.

* ''VideoGame/SaikoNoSutoka'': The premise of the game revolves around a deranged {{Yandere}} girl holding a male classmate hostage at their school in the middle of the night. The protagonist must find the passcode to the safe that's in the principal's office all while trying to avoid the girl, who's out for his blood despite obsessively fawning over him. The numbers to the safe are in different classrooms, whose doors may be boobytrapped by the yandere girl to stymie the player's progress.

* In ''Film/PatchAdams'' [[spoiler: Patch's girlfriend and fellow doctor Carin responds to a call from a chronically depressed patient. After some creepy dialogue between Carin and Larry, we cut to a scene where the dean tells Patch he killed her and then himself.]] Quite a shocking development in an otherwise upbeat movie. {{Truth in Television}} in that Patch Adams' [[spoiler:{{real life}} best friend died that way. Though his friend was a man whom he had absolutely no romantic interest in, so you can also chalk this one up to DanBrowned.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': In "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderS3E8ThePuppetmaster The Puppetmaster]]" Katara ends up alone with Hama, who reveals herself to be evil and a [[TheDarkArts bloodbender]], while Aang and Sokka figure out the truth in their own time.
