* In an episode of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', Elaine's boyfriend slowly walks up behind her and places his hands on shoulders, very close to her neck, causing her to freak out and scream "What are you doing?!", to which he says, "I was just going to give you a massage!", confused at her frightened reaction. (The reason for this is that he shares a name with [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Rifkin Joel Rifkin]], a SerialKiller who had been apprehended a few months before this episode aired.)

** In "Bart Of Darkness", we have Flanders seemingly chase Lisa up to the attic with an axe, muttering "time to put you away for good"... only for it to turn out that he was actually talking to the axe itself. In fact, the entire episode is a parody of ''[[RearWindowInvestigation Rear Window]]'' based on this trope, as Bart witnesses Ned Flanders' killing of Maude[[spoiler:'s favourite tree]]. It even has Lisa discovering a [[spoiler:Sc]]human[[spoiler:'s farms]] head[[spoiler: of lettuce]] and Jimmy Stewart watching Bart try to stop Flanders and concluding that "that sinister-looking kid's coming to kill me!"

* Creepy, NightmareFuel inspiring [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]] TortureTechnician Toht does this in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. He comes into the tent where ActionGirl Marion is being held, effortlessly disarms her, then pulls out a strange chain and wood instrument. Everyone who remembers Toht [[EyeScream holding a red hot poker inches from Marion's eye]] earlier in the movie holds their breath... then lets out a relieved sigh as it turns out to merely be a portable coat hanger. Hell, even Toht's ally Belloq [[EvenEvilHasStandards lets out a relieved sigh at that point]]!
