Something is scary. Something is terrifying. Something makes one character desperately afraid.

What better response than to grab a hold of someone bigger and stronger than you to protect you?

What better response
common. Feeling desperate fear is understandable.

And what's more natural
than to grab a hold of seeking comfort and protection from someone bigger and stronger than you to protect you?

* On WebVideo/DanAndPhilGAMES, for Halloween 2023, the guys played ''Don't Scream'', a horror game that's connected to the player's mic and has one simple rule: if you scream, you lose. Since they were desperately trying to keep quiet in the face of several {{jumpscare}}s and terrifying imagery, Dan and Phil defaulted to clinging to each other when things got especially spooky.

Girls Are Really Scared Of Horror Movies has been renamed to Intimacy Via Horror and requires focus on romance as per TRS thread.


The original version has a woman [[TheGlomp glomping]] a man in fright, and it's TruthInTelevision; why do you think guys want to take their girlfriends into {{Haunted House}}s or to [[GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies horror flicks]]? Heck, why do girls want to go to haunted houses or horror flicks with their boyfriends? They want to [[InvokedTrope invoke this trope]]. Also a way to ShipTease and play up WillTheyOrWontThey and get some HoYay in for characters of the same sex. Occasionally both characters are scared and cling to each other.
