** Milked subversion at the beginning of ''Jason Goes to Hell: The Final [[FridayTheThirteenth Friday]].'' A woman is getting ready to shower and stands before the mirrored medicine cabinet. She opens the cabinet, puts her toothpaste inside, and closes said cabinet. But Jason is '''not''' standing behind her in the reflection of the mirror. She then accidentally drops her purse on the floor. She bends to pick it up. The camera [[MaleGaze follows]] her and we can't see the mirror. She stands back up and looks into the mirror and Jason... is still not standing behind her in the reflection. She takes off her tomboyish baseball cap and obstructs the camera's view by waving her long hair around. Still no Jason. She starts to disrobe with the mirror reflecting the window, and Jason does not appear in the reflection of the window. As seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G34dBCxRQaw here]].

The exact shot usually holds the camera in place, with our only view of the scene being what is shown in the mirror itself. Variants can use other reflective surfaces, but are usually done in a "safe" environment. TV screens can be used, with the revelation appearing when the screen goes off. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic (This may well be symbolic of something.)]] Either way, the character will somehow not have heard their enemy sneak up. Often, the villain isn't there when the victim looks again or looks behind: it's just them going [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness slowly crazy]].

* Used in a way in the BrokenSky series; the secret police of [[BigBad King Macaan]], the Jachyra, can see, hear, and even travel through mirrors, or anything sufficiently reflective. This causes a number scares with the mirror being stationary, as well as the main characters being incredibly paranoid around them. Any base which the [[LaResistance Parakka]] make has no reflective surfaces whatsoever.
