** Taken in context, Franny casually disses Fred's cabin as being smaller, then orders pizza from his phone (with his half plain cheese) and makes him foot the bill. Earlier she both refuses his handshake and when he introduces himself says she didn't ask for his name.



* NiceGuy: Carlo the pizza guy balances out Fred and Fanny’s jerkassery with his affable demeanor. Unlike Fred who’s passive aggressive towards Fanny, he shows admiration for Fanny’s horror novel. And unlike Fanny he takes to Fred’s snipes with stride rather that sniping back. The Uber driver is also quite polite [[spoiler: until she finds Franny's notebook next to Fred's body and steals the ideas for herself.]]

to:

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Before leaving, Carlo describes the wonderful time he had with Fred and Fanny as "Some nights you get to spend with your favorite author-- and a Fred."

Added DiffLines:

* AlmostKiss: Fred and Fanny almost kiss as part of their play acting one of Fred's stories, only to be interrupted by Carlo coming in without knocking.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Fred to Fanny, when his insecurities are on display, twice he attacks her as being unable to empathize due to her youth and success.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Hypocrite}}: Fanny and Fred, Fred for passing off the Uber driver's story idea as his own, and Fanny for [[spoiler:refusing to share her story ideas for fear of him stealing them, but then orchestrating the scary story session to do just that.]]
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Fred is a bundle of insecurities, around his lack of professional success, age and marital problems. When Fanny is curious and tries to reach out, he rebuffs her as never being able to understand, being young and successful and living her dream life.


Added DiffLines:

* LackOfImagination: Fred has a case of this, or possibly writers block. Fanny relentlessly (but accurately) criticizes his werewolf story as just being an "idea", and as he develops the story pokes holes in it.

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Fred finds Fanny’s journal while she’s going to the bathroom and sees that she’s been taking notes on him, possibly in order to write her next book. This pushes him over the edge and he chases her with a weapon to either scare or or actually kill her eventually falling down the stairs and impaling himself. Traumatized, she leaves him to die alone and his body is found the next day by the kindly Uber driver who brought him to the cabin the day before.]]

'''Scare Me''' is a Comedy Horror film written and directed by comedian Josh Ruben who also stars in the film. The film also stars Creator/AyaCash and Creator/ChrisRedd.

During a trip to the Catskills, disgruntled artist Fred (Ruben) encounters best selling horror writer Fanny (Cash) who later comes to his cabin during a blackout during which the two tell each other horror stories.

The film premiered on October 1, 2020.

!! Tropes for Scare Me include:



* {{Jerkass}}: Neither Fred or Fanny are particularly nice people. Fanny’s success has gone to her head and she spends a good amount of the film belittling Fred. Fred is no better and probably worse as he’s jaded by his lack of success and clearly took it out on his ex-wife and later Fanny.
* NiceGuy: Carlo the pizza guy balances out Fred and Fanny’s jerkassery with his affable demeanor. Unlike Fred who’s passive aggressive towards Fanny, he shows admiration for Fanny’s horror novel. And unlike Fanny he takes to Fred’s snipes with stride rather that sniping back.
