* In the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' episode "Maximum Capacity", Steven finds a novel called "Passions of Xanxor" in his dad's storage space. The cover features a gender-flipped take on this, with a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe cradling a muscular pretty-boy in [[MultiArmedAndDangerous two of her three arms]].

* Apparently the ''Film/FireMaidensFromOuterSpace'' [[CuteMonsterGirl weren't alien enough]], since the poster shows a grotesque monster and one of the titular maidens in a Sabine Woman-style pose.

* In ''Film/{{Candyman}}'', Candyman carries the heroine, Helen, like this. Just to underline the sexual element, this takes place after she has agreed to 'surrender' to him, and before he lies her down on a table/bed, slides his hook up her skirt - and kisses her.

* The poster for ''Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon'' fits this, through his intentions were quite honorable; he was the last of his kind and wanted a companion. However, that didn't stop him from being highly territorial and [[FantasticRacism mistrusting humans]].

* ''Film/Halloween1978'' has Laurie's babysitting charge, Tommy Doyle, peering out the window and seeing Michael Myers carrying Annie's lifeless body into the Wallace house in this fashion across the street.

* Posters for the 1962 Film/HammerHorror version of ''[[Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera1962 The Phantom of the Opera]]'' depict the titular Phantom holding the unconscious Christine, but this is something he [[CoversAlwaysLie never does in the actual film]]. Many of the promotional materials tried to market it as a BeastAndBeauty love story, which (ironically given the [[Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera source material]]) was not the case. The relationship between the Phantom and Christine in this adaptation isn't a romantic one.
