* ''Return of TheFly''

!!!Multiple

* This [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/wolf_guy_ookami_no_monshou/v02/c009/ cover]] of ''WolfGuyWolfenCrest'' invokes this trope, but the werewolf is ''the good guy''.

Though we've SeenItAMillionTimes, this has become a DiscreditedTrope in recent years, [[FetishFuel at least in the mainstream]]. See also FreudWasRight.

* ''Return of the Fly''

->''"AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" screamed Constance, as she was swept up in the arms of the murderous monstrosity!''
->''"AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" screamed the monster, as its spine cracked under the weight of the struggling blonde.''

-->''"AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" screamed the monster, as its spine cracked under the weight of the struggling blonde.''

* ''RobotMonster''

* The poster for ''ForbiddenPlanet'' had Robbie the Robot carrying the female lead, even though Robbie wasn't a villain in this movie.

* Apparently the ''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.

* ''Bride of the Monster''
* [[http://cache.io9.com/assets/images/io9/2008/06/thisislandearth-movposter.jpg One of the posters]] for ''ThisIslandEarth''.
* ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill1951''

* ''TheScreamingSkull'' uses this to portray the grim specter of Death haunting a woman.

* This [[http://binside.typepad.com/binside_tv/images/2008/03/22/lebron_vogue.jpg Vogue cover]] featuring LeBron James imigates the famous propaganda poster.

* Add RPG module covers, particularly those dating from the 80s, to the list of media where this trope got used a ''lot''. There are princesses and/or scantily-clad female adventurers being pawed and/or carried by a lizard man, a vampire, and a ridiculous hybrid of octopus and bear trap.
** Inverted in the module ''Weirder Tales'' for ''Tales from the Floating Vagabond'', featuring a wholesome Doris Day-esque 50's American housewife carrying away a horrified robot. ''That's the plot of the module''.

* In TheMovie of ''[[SilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal]]'', Hannibal Lector carries an unconscious Clarice this way.
** Bit of a subversion here; he's actually saving her life, keeping her held up away from the man-eating pigs who, for whatever reason, don't seem to register him as human, food, or someone they can take in a fight.

** There's a pinball machine under the premise of all the classic Universal Studios monsters playing in a rock band. The machine's art depicts the Creature somehow holding both his Sabine Woman and a trombone.

* [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ab/%27Destroy_this_mad_brute%27_WWI_propaganda_poster_%28US_version%29.jpg This]] WorldWarI [[WartimeCartoon propaganda poster]] depicts Germany as a [[KillerGorilla rampaging killer ape]] [[UnfortunateImplications brandishing a club and clutching the living Statue of Liberty in its arms]].
** You think those are some unfortunate implications. How about this [[http://binside.typepad.com/binside_tv/images/2008/03/22/lebron_vogue.jpg Vogue cover featuring LeBron James]]?

* This [[http://mangafox.me/manga/wolf_guy_ookami_no_monshou/v02/c009/1.html cover]] of ''WolfGuyWolfenCrest'' invokes this trope, but the werewolf is ''the good guy''.

* ''{{Tarantula}}''

[[AC:{{Magazines}}]]
* [[http://www.sarahahoyt.com/images/covers/zines/wt323.jpg The ever-deviant ''Weird Tales'' displays a gender-flipped version.]]

* ''[[http://www.sflare.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/weird-tales.jpg Weird Tales]]'' was and largely still is inordinately fond of all of this page's subtropes, as you can see.

* ''[[Robot Monster]]''

* ''[[http://themoderatevoice.com/wordpress-engine/files/2007-november/robot_monster_080320070842.jpg Robot Monster]]''

* Parodied in ''MonsterInTheCloset'', when it's the ''hero'' that gets carried off in this fashion.

* [[http://www.francesca.net/images/pulps/images/(WeirdTales3382005.JPG This]] was the cover of a comparatively recent issue of ''Weird Tales''.

* A [[http://www.marsattacksfan.com/17.htm couple]] [[http://www.marsattacksfan.com/21.htm of]] cards in the 1962 card series ''MarsAttacks!'' use the Touch of Evil version, though [[http://www.marsattacksfan.com/65.htm one of the unreleased cards]] has a rather graphic (and very obviously sexualized) depiction of Playing with Its Food/Angels' Envy. [[http://www.marsattacksfan.com/60.htm Another unreleased card]] is From the Pages of Bettie-style, but with more gore than obvious bondage, and, again, obviously sexualized.

* ''TheDayOfTheTriffids'': probably, given the monster's proportionate size to the woman's.

* In ''ImpureBlood'', [[http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Chapter006/ib038.html the Circus Nocturn poster]] has a [[HairOfGold blond young woman]] flinching away from an Ancient, looming over her.

* The poster for ''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]].
