Basic Trope: An evil garden.

  • Straight: Alice and Bob visit a garden where all the plants and trees are poisonous.
  • Exaggerated: The garden has many monsters, is ruled by an Eldritch Abomination, and when Alice and Bob step foot on the garden, they instantly get a heart attack and they get paralyzed.
  • Downplayed: The garden's plants have Alice and Bob be a bit dizzy but nothing too worse.
  • Justified:
    • An evil Mad Scientist made the plants poisonous to research their effects on humans.
    • Poison cures need something to test against.
  • Inverted: The garden's plants instantly heals a heavily wounded Alice and Bob.
  • Subverted: The garden's plants seems to poison Alice and Bob... but then it's revealed they had food poisoning before they came in.
  • Double Subverted: Then the plants make them sicker.
  • Parodied: The garden's plants brainwash Alice and Bob into dancing to very bad songs.
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: The garden is normal.
  • Enforced: "We need to make a beautiful place very disturbing. How about a garden?"
  • Lampshaded: "Damn, it's so bad in this beautiful place! What have they been using here?"
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Alice and Bob wear gas masks, take the plants, and clean them of poison.
  • Discussed: "What if the garden is very evil and poisonous? Not going in there."
  • Conversed: "Can't believe they made a beautiful place evil in this movie!"
