History Main / WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'': This is the exact color scheme for [[ÉliteMooks the Abyss Demons]], basically more powerful versions of the standard Hell Demons. They show up in the last levels of the game.

* Emperor Belos from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' wears white, fitting his status as a theocratical leader. However, his magic is bloody red, showing his real self shining through his religious mask.

* ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'':

Whereas [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black]] is commonly used as a shorthand for evil or NinetiesAntiHero edginess, white and red has a tendency to seem rather...''off''.

* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'': The final BigBad of the series is [[spoiler:[=MaloMyotismon=]]], a Digimon with white armor, a red mask and red claws.
* In ''Anime/DigimonUniverseAppMonsters'', Charismon acts as TheDragon to Leviathan and an EvilCounterpart to Globemon. As such, he wears a bone-white version of Globemon's armor [[EyesDoNotBelongThere covered in glowing red eyes]].

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':

** The giant Rei in ''The End of Evangelion'' is white with red eyes.

** The [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evangelion_30_big_rei_7.jpg giant Rei head]] in ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' is white with bloody streaks down its face and it's surrounded by red figures.
* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'': Among the setting's array of {{Lovecraftian Superpower}}s and {{Living Weapon}}s, Hinami Fueguchi and Kureo Mado possess one of each respectively that employ this trope. Both can summon bone white, petal-like appendages with visible red veins and organs, as well as segmented CombatTentacles of the same color with red muscle connecting each segment.

* ''Literature/SoImASpiderSoWhat'': Kumoko -- at least in the manga and anime -- is predominently white with reddish pink markings. And while [[StylizedForTheViewer she may look cute and cuddly during the segments from her perspective]], she's actually a horrifying spider-monster.

* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':

* The Hate-Monger from the ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'' storyline is a Neo-Nazi bigot running a terrorist militia, and his uniform is a mockery of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's, being completely white except for red gloves and boots and a black star with a white swastika on the chest.

* ''ComicBook/ExtremeCarnage'': After the Scream symbiote is accidentally killed by Andi Benton, Dr. Steven attempts to resurrect it by splicing its remains with Anti-Venom serum. This creates a white-and-red symbiote that calls itself "Silence" -- as in "the absence of Scream" -- and seems to enjoy eerily shushing people.

** Also from Creator/GuillermoDelToro, ''Film/CrimsonPeak'' emphasizes red and white in its color palette, particularly in the final act, as the snowfall becomes stained with the red clay beneath Allerdale Hall.

* Sy's nightmare sequence in ''Film/OneHourPhoto'' consists of him dressed all in white and standing in a white aisle, as blood gushes out of his eyes.

* ''Literature/{{Christine}}'': The titular car, which one of the characters, before being killed, compares to "ivory and dried blood".
* In ''Literature/FengshenYanyi'', the Taoist hermit Chijingzi owns the Fabao (magic instrument) called "Yin and Yang Mirror", which he later passes to his trainee Prince Yin Hong. The mirror has a red side, representing Yang, and a white side representing Yin: the former can give life and heal all those who reflect into it, but the other side can instantly kill instead.

* Some Orcs from ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'' have red eyes too, beside already being pale-skinned.
* ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''/''Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger'': The White Dino Thunder Ranger and his Sentai counterpart Abare Killer have a unique blood-red visor, both are not to be trifled with and give off an air of mystery. Trent more so due to his CreepyMonotone and having a Jekyll & Hyde mentality, though, unlike his Sentai counterpart, he pulls a HeelFaceTurn much quicker and is not evil by choice.
* ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai''/''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'': Juzo Fuwa/Deker. Sadistic {{Blood Knight}}s that are mostly white with skeletal/demonic features done up in red.
* Pricious from ''Series/KishiryuSentaiRyusoulger'' is predominantly white with some blood-red accents. He is one of the most sadistic characters in the show and something of a KnightOfCerebus, as the show takes a more serious tone after his arrival.

* ''VideoGame/Doom2016'': More than a few of the demon's designs appear to resemble this trope, boasting bony exteriors with fleshy muscle underneath.
* ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'': The [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Maykrs]] and their signature aesthetic are usually a combination of white and red, typically with a little gold mixed in. The Khan Maykr is an even better example: she wears beautiful white armor that covers her entire body, but as she gets damaged you can see more and more of her real body, which is both blood-red in color and better befits an EldritchAbomination (complete with tentacles) than the AngelicBeauty she seems to be.

* ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'': [[EldritchAbomination Zero]] -- the Big Bad of the [[VideoGame/KirbysDreamland2 Dark]] [[VideoGame/KirbysDreamland3 Matter]] [[VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards trilogy]] -- is infamous for being an unexpectedly horrifying villain in an [[VileVillainSaccharineShow otherwise sugary series]]. Unlike its [[DarkIsEvil shadowy underlings]], Zero is a huge, white, sphere-shaped mass with a single red eye who can shoot [[BloodyMurder blood-like projectiles]] from slits in its body. Its appearance as 0[[superscript:2]] in ''Kirby 64'' is an outright ''AngelicAbomination'', now sporting red-tipped wings and residing in a dark EldritchLocation filled with swirling red mist and inexplicable black barcodes.
** From the latter game we also have Miracle Matter, another enigmatic, malevolent entity [[SinisterGeometry resembling a white icosahedron]] with red eyes on each side that resides in a room with nothing but pulsating darkness.
** In ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', [[spoiler:Void, the TrueFinalBoss of the BossRush mode on [[HarderThanHard Soul Melter EX difficulty]], greatly resembles Zero, having a white body with a blood-red face.]]

* ''VideoGame/SCPContainmentBreach'': The game's own interpretation of SCP-096's appearance is that of a lanky, deathly pale humanoid, whose complexion is contrasted by the fresh blood covering its hands and mouth. While initially docile, said blood provides a ''very'' important clue as to why you [[BerserkButton shouldn't make the mistake of looking at its face]].

* Kazuma Kiryu from ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' is a more grounded version. He wears a light gray suit, white shoes, and a red shirt, and while he's TheHero of the story and a definite good guy, he's also TheDreaded to many in the Japanese underworld.

* ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'':
** In a variation that's also an example of PsychoPink, Phoenix's first main opponent is a man literally named Redd White, a master blackmailer.
** The final culprit of ''Justice for All'', [[spoiler:Matt Engarde]], is a conniving, murderous schemer with a creepily friendly demeanor and a red-and-white color scheme.
** Dahlia Hawthorne from ''Trials and Tribulations'' has red hair and a white gown, with a bright pink umbrella and stole thrown in. [[spoiler:She's a vicious SerialKiller and the BigBad of the game. For bonus points, her spirit is shown as a featureless white figure with her signature red hair]].
* ''VisualNovel/DramaticalMurder'' has the appearance of [[spoiler:the 'other' Aoba]] in Koujaku's bad ending. Said character lacks pigmentation, leaving their hair, scalera, and skin a disturbingly shade of white, and they dress in white robes that are adorned with red shashes, cords, and red gloves and boots.

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' gives the Morningstar family a red and white palette, and while Charlie is TheHero of the story and [[NiceGirl one of the nicest characters in Hell]] ([[GoodIsNotSoft but don't mistake that for weakness]]), her father is '''''[[{{Satan}} Lucifer]]''''', who keeps Hell under his thumb via fear.[[note]]Lilith has not shown up or been referenced enough to characterize one way or another, and she seems to prefer [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]] over red and white.[[/note]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'': {{Invoked|Trope}} and PlayedForLaughs in [[https://xkcd.com/2246/ this strip]], which claims that Christmas presents are parasitic plants to Christmas trees. One piece of evidence listed is that the "bright white and red colors indicate a lack of chlorophyll".
[[/folder]]

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': While the Grand Inquisitor's outfit mostly invokes a [[DarkIsEvil dark motif]], his face is deathly pale with red markings below his eyes and on his forehead.

Whereas [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black]] is commonly used as a shorthand for evil or NinetiesAntiHero edginess, white and red has a tendency to seem... rather ''off''.

* Many of the spider demons in ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'' are extremely pale with white hair, eyes and clothes, and are adorned with red markings. Further accentuated with Rui, who has red sclerae and his strongest technique with his Demon Blood Art causes him to bleed, turning his hands and webs bright red.

** The Joker himself is usually depicted with a bleached white face and ruby red lips, though this is most often combined with SecondaryColorNemesis.

* In ''Film/Hellboy2019'', the demons which appear during the movie's climax have bone white skin and blood red markings. And then they start getting soaked in the blood of their victims.
* ''Film/It2017'': Unlike his previous designs, [[MonsterClown Pennywise]]'s appearance and outfit are mostly colored white and light grey, save for his orange hair and red decorations. Best invoked in one of posters for ''Film/ItChapterTwo'', where Pennywise's face blends in with the rest of the poster's white background, with the contrasting details being his red makeup and the movie logo.

* In ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'', Dr. Robotnik's various drones and tech all share the same white paintjobs and ovoid shapes, with red GlowingMechanicalEyes and TronLines. Said drones are portrayed as ''much'' deadlier than the Badniks of the main franchise.

* In ''Literature/FengshenYanyi'', the taoist hermit Chijingzi owns the Fabao (magic instrument) called "Yin and Yang Mirror", which he later passes to his trainee Prince Yin Hong. The mirror has a red side, representing Yang, and a white side representing Yin: the former can give life and heal all those who reflect into it, but the other side can istantly kill instead.

* ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''/''Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger'': The White Dino Thunder Ranger and his Sentai counterpart Abare Killer have a unique blood-red visor, both are not to be trifled with and give off an air of mystery. Trent more so due to his CreepyMonotone and having a Jekyll & Hyde mentality, though unlike his Sentai counterpart, he pulls a HeelFaceTurn much quicker and is not evil by choice.

* Literature/TheBible, especially in the New Testament, has a recurring theme where purity, redemption and spiritual rebirth in Christ are portrayed as pure clean white, whereas sin and unrepented evil are contrasted in vivid blood-red.

** The combination of red and white mana usually leads to heroic archetypes, but [[LightIsNotGood evil]] examples exist. Nahiri is a FallenHero who has caused genocide and attempted genocide, and after her release from Phyrexia in ''March of Machines: the Aftermath'', also has part of her stark white kor skin broken up with glowing orange-red lines. The Nobilis of War drives the people of Shadowmoor to eternal warfare. New Capenna's Cabaretti are mafioso hedonists far from being above extorsion and retaliatory crimes. Palladia-Mors was a social darwinist and the most openly violent of the elder dragons. Even the Boros Legion of Ravnica is no stranger to PoliceBrutality, and some of the historians of Strixhaven's Lorehold campus study the magic of the cheerfully named "Blood Age".

** Krika is the most horribly mutated member of the Brotherhood of Makuta, being a mantis-like being who possesses bone-white armor resembling vertebrae, and his pincers featuring a red center. Despite his creepyness, he's also the [[TokenGoodTeammate more decent member]] of the bunch.
* ''Franchise/GIJoe'': Storm-Shadow is the primary {{Ninja}} operative for Cobra, the main villainous faction of the franchise. His signature outfit is a white ninja garb with a red sash or red Cobra symbol. He is usually depicted as the arch rival of the heroes' own ninja Snake Eyes.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': Downplayed with Altera. She wears a white outfit with red highlights, and is [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy not quite human]] who is very robotic in her interactions. However, certain interactions show that she is rather cute beyond her mid-battle EmotionlessGirl state.

** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter2Dos'': White Fatalis is one of the most powerful Elder Dragons in the series, and is both beautiful and eerie in equal measure. Its ghostly white scales and fur combined with its blood red eyes make for an imposing apperance, and when it fights it forgoes its Black and Crimson cousins flames in favor of scarlet lightning that further drives home its status as a living calamity in dragon form.

* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'': The pantheon of the Japanese setting the game takes place in are a more benelovent example; nevertheless, they take the form of various animals whose appearances are entirely white with red tattoos all over their bodies, serving to indicate their divinity and set them apart from mortal animals.

* A regular theme in ''VisualNovel/{{Echo}}''. Echo's dreary vistas are illuminated by the red setting sun (or nightmare skies) and bleak white stars. Leo's pelt is red and white [[spoiler:and he goes crazy]]. Lastly but not least, the demonic things walking around are either white or red.

* The plot of a {{Creepypasta}} ghost story titled ''White with Red'' concerns a room in an hotel where a man once murdered his wife a long time ago. Anyone who stays in that room turns pale all over save for their eyes, which turn a sharp red.

* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': In his ghostly alias as Plasmius, Vlad Masters wears a white outfit which includes a white cape with red inner lining. He also has glowing red eyes.

* Averted in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', as red rangers tend to have a red and white color scheme, but are generally TheHero of the team.

* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'': In contrast with Dr. Nefarious' striking purples and greens, Emperor Nefarious is mostly white and red (with some black parts as well), characterizing him as more malevolent and serious than his counterpart, though the color leans more towards orange than red, though it still has a bit of te effect.

* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'': The film's main villain, Lord Shen, is an albino peacock with red eyespots on his train. He is almost always associated with red and fiery imagery, yet his white feathers and robe bring him into LightIsNotGood territory. Combined with RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver in that the scenes featuring Shen also tend to strongly rely on black tones.

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'': Protagonist Kratos is easily distinguishable by his ashen white skin ([[PaterFamilicide don't ask how he got it]]) and red tattoo running down the left side of his face and body. Fittingly enough, he's known by many as the "[[RedBaron Ghost of Sparta]]", and he can be easily scary by virtue of being a god-punching, nigh-unstoppable [[TheBerserker berserker]].

* ''WebOriginal/{{Serina}}'': The multi-species civilisation of the Sea Stewards, which hitherto lasted for ''millions'' of years, [[spoiler:[[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom is unwittingly brought low by Whitecrown]], an albino jay now leading a massive flock harnassing the power of fire. One day, while hunting, he unknowingly drops a light near a massive, exposed coal-seam, setting it ablaze and causing the entire planet's ecosystem to collapse from the ''continent-wide'' coal fires that ensue]]. [[https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/L7qXGuJyjrOoqJJC-smUsu3dgX9doxbRpUQDXXcgNRvImxsfOU_ISmZlahAz_JaAqRzn4VDjVphUxtYb5eXqS4RVr51y_s012uA-PAnNpGcc_fM_k9ZIAGgaxlkk4D-f_g=w1280 In an illustration depicting the fateful moment]], he is depicted in a surreal bright white rimmed with red from the [[spoiler:coal fires which he accidentally lit]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'': Hal Stewart is a normal human who was given powers by the alien Megamind to be a superhero who would fight him under the alias of Titan, but due to his past issues, Hal instead goes through a BigBadSlippage and becomes TheSociopath who uses his superpowers in an attempt to get what he previously wanted. As Titan, he wears a white superhero suit with a red and orange flame pattern and a red cape, which matches his natural [[FieryRedhead red hair]]. This is in contrast to the film's other two main supers: Megamind (a supervillain who later [[HeelFaceTurn turns good]]), who's dressed in black and has blue skin, and Metro Man ([[TheCape the typical idealistic superhero]] [[spoiler:who eventually gets bored of helping people]]), whose outfit is white and silver. Hal's white and red contrast was intended in-universe to look heroic and be visually appealing, but out-of-universe, it represents his fiery, destructive personality.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'': Hal Stewart is a normal human who was given powers by the alien Megamind to be a superhero who would fight him under the alias of Titan, but due to his past issues, Hal instead goes through a BigBadSlippage and becomes TheSociopath who uses his superpowers in an attempt to get what he previously wanted.

Hal's white and red contrast was intended in-universe to look heroic and appealing, but out-of-universe, it represents his fiery, destructive personality.

* ''Film/It2017'': Unlike his previous designs, [[MonsterClown Pennywise]]'s appearance and outfit are much more monocromatic save for his orange hair and red decorations. Best invoked in the poster for ''Film/ItChapterTwo'', where Pennywise's face blends in with the rest of the poster, with the contrasting details being his red makeup and the movie logo.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBadGuys2022'': The main cast wears clothes of a red and white color scheme to express their evil orientation, and black and blue to express their good orientation.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'': Hal Stewart is a normal human who was given powers by the alien Megamind to be a superhero who would fight him under the alias of Titan, but due to his past issues, Hal instead goes through a BigBadSlippage and becomes TheSociopath who uses his superpowers in an attempt to get what he previously wanted. As Titan, he wears a white superhero suit with a red and orange flame pattern and a red cape, which pairs up with his natural [[FieryRedhead red hair]]. This is in contrast to the film's other two main supers: Megamind (a supervillain who later [[HeelFaceTurn turns good]]), who's dressed in black and has blue skin, and Metro Man ([[TheCape the typical idealistic superhero]] [[spoiler:who gets bored of helping people and becomes a slob]]), whose outfit is white and silver. Hal's white and red contrast was intended in-universe to look heroic and appealing, but out-of-universe, it shows his fiery, destructive personality.

* Harley Quinn from ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' combines this with RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver. Her black and red jester outfit clashes with the white makeup she wears, which makes her stand out and appear rather creepy.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'': Hal Stewart is a normal human who was given powers by the alien Megamind to be a superhero who would fight him under the alias of Titan, but due to his past issues, Hal instead goes through a BigBadSlippage and becomes TheSociopath who uses his superpowers in an attempt to get what he previously wanted.

* In ''Film/KillBill'', Creator/DarylHannah sneaks into a hospital carrying a red umbrella and wearing a white coat and EyepatchOfPower. She then changes into a white NaughtyNurseOutfit, swaps the eyepatch out for one that's ''mostly'' white except for a [[TheColoredCross red cross]], and attempts to assassinate a comatose Creator/UmaThurman with a syringe full of [[TechnicolorToxin cherry-red poison]]. Hannah's SinisterWhistling makes the scene all the more chilling.
