Lost in the Maize
There's just something about a field of corn that spells creepy. Maybe it's the fact that corn stalks grow very tall and seem to go on endlessly, preventing anyone who happens to be wandering among them from seeing more than a few feet ahead at a time. Also, each stalk looks exactly the same, so good luck finding your way out. Combined with the fact that they are only found in rural areas, this means that you could be out in the middle of nowhere and no one would see you disappear, or even be around to hear you scream on the off chance that you are not alone.
Adult Adoptee
Adoption is typically defined as the legal process of assuming parentage of another's child and taking on the rights and responsibilities from the biological parents to raise the adoptee as their own. As such, one can reasonably assume that the adoptee in this scenario to be a young child still in need of parental support and guidance. This trope, however, subverts that expectation by having someone officially adopt an adult, who should have been independent enough to survive without parental care.
