Added NRLEP to the article as a matter of good practice. And a lot of people don't know about the meta thing, so it should be mentioned here (and in the other articles for moment reactions)

Added DiffLines:

'''Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease''' We ''really'' don't need a list of all the scary things that exist/happen in the real world.

Furthermore, keep in mind that meta examples aren't allowed in moments pages. Moments are for things that happen within a work. Things pertaining to the creators, the work's development or the work's critical and commercial reception, while you may think are scary and we might agree, are outside the scope of this audience reaction. Plus, citing such events as Nightmare Fuel can be seen as [[LoopholeAbuse an attempt to bypass the Real Life example ban]].

Tropes used to invoke this feeling are HorrorTropes. Tropes ''about'' the emotion of fear itself are FearTropes. If it is ''unintentionally'' scary, it's AccidentalNightmareFuel. If it is meant to scare but fails to deliver, and [[{{Narm}} becomes hilarious instead]], it devolves into NightmareRetardant. Characters that are this InUniverse are TheDreaded.

Adding an aside about character reactions.


** With that said, don't add something just because it happens to be your personal phobia. For example, spiders can be scary and many people have arachnophobia, but just because a spider happens to be in the work, it does not make a Nightmare Fuel entry. It needs to reasonably be scary to someone without the phobia.

* Nightmare Fuel is an AudienceReaction, so it needs to be scary for the ''audience''. Describing how the characters react to something scary isn't needed. Just because something scares them, that doesn't mean it scares us as well.

well.[[note]]Sometimes, a character being scared can add to the fear factor if they don't scare easily, but even then, a character being scared isn't enough on its own to qualify as Nightmare Fuel.[[/note]]
