* The original sound novels of ''UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'' use these occasionally, and get some bonus points for [[TropesAreNotBad actually making]] [[HellIsThatNoise the damn things]] ''[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel scary]]'' rather than just startling.07/Nov/09 at 05:53 AM

** How can you mention Zelda without mentioning the ReDead? You're wandering around in a dark temple, or below a scary well or tomb, minding your own innocent business...then suddenly, a terrifying mutilated scream sounds and before you can even spin around to see the source, BOOM, you're frozen in the paralyzing fear as the ReDead shambles toward you...07/Nov/09 at 05:51 AM

* In "Exorcist III" there is a scene that, I think, was made just for this. It is a longshot down a hall in an asylum. Nothing special is going on, the night guard is getting off his shift and a nurse is delivering medicine. As the nurse turns down a hall, the camera suddenly jumps to here end of the hall, and that is when somebody wrapped in white linen and wielding a large knife and a "scare chord symphony" comes from the other side of the hall with the blade raised high. After a mili-second of that, the scene finishs on a shot of a clean white headless Jesus statue.to:

* Possibly accidentally averted in 7th Guest, which had a music track for one of the puzzles (a maze) that was eerily silent, then suddenly burst into a brief cachophony of almost-random piano notes. It scared this troper greatly as a pre-teen, until he discovered that the burst of notes had nothing to do with events in the game; The entire song was simply the playback of an audio track on the CD.to:

* The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind does this to a lesser extend, the ambient background music will change from "exploration" themes to a random "battle" theme once the wandering player is attacked. The exploration themes are typically quite and soothing while various battle themes will start with a loud drumbeat or trumpet blast. This can be quite surprising and startling when the player is already fairly tense, or concentrated on something else.to:
