Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant

So... Well, trope is about characters doing something innocently that comes across as scary.

But trope page makes this reference "Unlike with normal Nightmare Fuel, other characters in the show will notice how horrifying the drawing/poem/song/story is,"

Isn't that reference to old meaning of Nightmare Fuel being same as current Accidental Nightmare Fuel?

I'd fix it myself, but I'm not sure what is good way of altering it <_<

I thought the trope is about a character whose main purpose in the work is to make it creepier, but I might be wrong.

Actually... I kind of agree with you.

But in fairness, this is about a character who provides nightmare fuel in an innocent way. In that case, This trope is a sub trope of Accidental Nightmare Fuel. But that page is locked, so it's not listed. Ah, well...
