Several ideas for this one, mostly from horror films. This depicts the same bath scene from Slither that adorns Bathtub Scene (before it gets scary). This scene from the original A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) could also work for a less bloody alternative, though I'm not sure how confusing it is where the hand is coming from when you don't know that there's a man who can invade people's dreams.

To be honest, the fangs alone look like "danger" to me. Both images potentially work; I somewhat prefer the fangs.

I can't look at the suggestions right now, but if that Nightmare pic is the one I'm thinking of, I'd swear it was being used on another page.

[up][up]Just for the record, those aren't fangs, but knives attached to a glove. And I vote for the Nightmare pic, as the Slither one's a little too gruesome.

I think that looks more like a Bath Suicide or Blood Bath. The angle is also perhaps a bit too close.

[up] Again, that looks like the subtrope Bath Suicide.

Ok, it looks like there are four votes for the Nightmare pic so far. A few more and we can put that one up; I personally still prefer it over the other suggestions, which illustrate the subtropes far better.

I certainly prefer the Nightmare picture.

It's up potholed and tagged; caption or no?

Evidently no caption discussion; closing this down.
