Victim is being stalked by monster/killer/ancient and terrifying evil, who is hiding in the shadows or somesuch. Just when they think they're safe, monster leaps out. Victim starts screaming and then...the monster/killer/ancient and terrifying evil starts screaming or roaring too. Also often played for comedy, as in the end of Scary Movie 2 or with Doctor Rockso in Metalocalypse. Is there a trope for this?
