* An entire section labeled "Pre-release" that is still here even though the work's been out for a few years and nobody cares about the trailers anymore. The section is full of [[Administrivia/SpeculativeTroping examples speculating son scenes from the trailers]], most of which weren't that scary in context.
* One scene that was genuinely frightening both in the trailer and in the finished work, resulting in it being listed both here and below.
** Speculation and FridgeHorror about how the scene could be even worse than it seems, even though FridgeHorror is not allowed in Nightmare Fuel pages.
!! Post-release
* Genuinely well-written, disturbing insight that can enhance the viewing experience of the media in question.
* Whatever scary thing the work is most famous for, PUT IN ALL CAPS SO YOU KNOW HOW TRAUMATISED THIS TROPER WAS BY IT.
** Example that replies to the supposedly "scariest" example, claiming this one is ''even scarier''.
* Mildly creepy example that can be considered very scary if you're bored enough to think about it too much.
** “Worse, blah blah blah...”
*** “Even worse, blah blah blah...”
*** “That’s not even getting into blah blah thisisnotscary”
*** EVEN WORSE
* Something that not even a 5-year-old would find frightening.
** Example from a kid's cartoon that somehow managed to mentally scar this 25-year-old troper.
* Poorly worded FridgeHorror insight with no factual basis, maybe even bordering on WildMassGuessing.
* Example of a character acting slightly {{OOC|IsSeriousBusiness}}, maybe raising their voice a little bit. '''''Scary'''''.
* "This is even scarier than ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog''."
* Example of BlackComedy or HorrorComedy not meant to be taken too seriously.
* Example about that one time the main character was in mild danger. Everyone knew they would make it out safely, but it was still mildly suspenseful and that counts as horror.
* Example that mentions it is probably NightmareRetardant to most people, but some people might possibly find it slightly creepy anyway.
* [[Administrivia/WeblinksAreNotExamples A jumpscare behind a contextless weblink simply titled "This".]]
* InUniverse example about the characters being scared of something, even though it wasn't scary to the audience.
* A few dozen examples that some found scary. It's extremely blatant that they used to say "Example that This Troper found scary" until someone just replaced all instances of "This Troper" with "some" without changing anything else about the examples.
* AccidentalNightmareFuel example that is mildly unsettling at worst.
* Example about [[Administrivia/XJustX that scene... just... that scene...]]
* Example about the characters' appearance being in the UncannyValley, mostly serving as an excuse to insult the work's art and animation.
* Example that's only scary to people who [[AbsurdPhobia have an extremely specific phobia]]. To anyone else, the scene was completely non-scary. The troper who wrote this example didn't even have the phobia in question, and simply speculated that people who do ''might'' find it scary.
* Genuinely scary scene that was also featured in the trailers, leading to it being listed both here and in the pre-release section above.
** Poorly-indented extra facts that make the scene even scarier in context.
* Example that [[spoiler:uses spoilers]] even though NightmareFuel pages are supposed to not use them.
* Example that uses spoiler markup to [[spoiler:hide descriptions of graphic violence]], not because it spoils who dies, but because This Troper thought it might be too frightening to read and wanted people to be able to read this page about scary things without getting scared.
* [[spoiler:Entirely spoilered example because it's just that scary.]]
* Example that uses spoilers to create a JumpScare of some sort, by using spoiler markup to hide the fact that there's [[spoiler:[[OhCrap something scary that was there all along]]]]. The intended effect was to slowly build up tension throughout the example, and then release it all once the reader reached the hidden text and revealed it, but it just ended up [[NightmareRetardant looking silly]].
* Example about [[AmusingInjuries a character suffering a mild injury in a comical manner]]. The wording exaggerates how severe the injury was, such as by describing the character saying "Ow." as a "soul-rending scream of agony" or [[FridgeHorror pointing out that the injury could have been fatal]] had RuleOfFunny not been in effect. This makes the show seem more mature and cool, and totally doesn't just make the TV Tropes userbase look like melodramatic cowards who are scared of their own shadow.
