* HostileAnimatronics: Scary animatronics are a frequent subject in his videos:

** He did a video going to different stores to look at the Halloween animatronics on display, particularly the horror-inspired ones by Creator/SpiritHalloween. Subverted in that he was more fascinated than scared by them.

* OminousPipeOrgan: Invoked. In "[[https://youtu.be/id9-uAVq-p4?t=646 Evanswood Magic Mansion - Unbelievable New Attraction!]]," magician Terry Evanswood shows off a pump organ in the mansion by playing a short, sinister tune and doing an EvilLaugh.

** Played straight in "[[https://youtu.be/c_-84mn8hFQ Attacked By Animatronics II The Upgrade]]," where the King's band actually succeeds in turning Jacob into an animatronic and force him to perform with them. It's all just a sketch, of course, but it is unusual to see the King and his band act so menacing.

I've seen a meme template like this, so I wanted to try it here. Especially wanted characters are bolded.

Blanking for now, will add stuff later

[[folder:Original version of Fear Song draft]]
Based on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=93354&type=lnf this Trope Finder query]]. I never got a response, so I figured I'd just try it.
----
->''Do you know what it's like to be afraid?''
->''To want to curl up in a ball [[GratuitousGerman und]] hide avay?''
->''You see a mouse scamper 'cross ze floor''
->''Or hear ze creaking of a door''
->''You get frightened! You want to freeze, freeze, freeze!''
-->'''Dr. Flurry,''' ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales: The League of Incredible Vegetables''

When you're afraid, how do you cope with your fear? In the troperiffic world of fiction, sometimes the answer is to sing about it. Songs about fear are pretty common in musicals.

This is also a common topic for {{Filk Song}}s based on horror works, especially indie horror games. These songs will have the protagonist/victim character sing about how they're afraid of the monster/villain character.

Compare WarningSong and MelancholyMusicalNumber, and FaceYourFears. If the song is about being afraid of a villainous character, may overlap with TheVillainSucksSong, or even VillainSong if the villain sings in it too. Contrast OdeToApathy, and PepTalkSong, a musical number about trying to overcome fear and other negative emotions.

!!Examples:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Film -- Animated]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BabesInToyland'': "[[https://youtu.be/YFc3xHTTcEY The Worst Is Yet To Come]]" starts out as a VillainSong, as Rodrigo and Gonzargo, who are taking the {{kid hero}}es to the land of goblins, taunt the kids about their imminent deaths. But it becomes a sort of musical OhCrap moment near the end as Rodrigo and Gonzargo start to realize that, by entering the goblins' territory, they've put ''themselves'' in danger too.
-->'''Rodrigo:''' Your nerves are jarred, your heart beats hard,
-->'''Gonzargo:''' Like a kettle drum!
-->'''Rodrigo:''' You're hearing shrieks and eerie squeaks!
-->'''Gonzargo:''' Where is that one coming from?!
* ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'':
** Played with. The song "This is Halloween" has the residents of HalloweenTown singing about themselves, because they're scary and that's their job.
** "Sally's Song" is primarily a MelancholyMusicalNumber, but also has elements of this trope. It starts off with Sally singing about how she's anxious because [[OnlySaneMan she's the only one]] who realizes that Jack's SubbingForSanta plan is not going to end well.
* In a [[CutSong deleted song]] from ''WesternAnimation/RugratsGoWild'' (a crossover between ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys'') titled "Fraidy-Cat Finster", Chuckie Finster sings about his timid personality and things he's afraid of.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* ''Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach'': When the adventure begins, the talking bugs sing a song that is partially about how they're nervous about all the creatures they might meet on their journey, such as a 49-headed creature, or a dilemma with literal horns.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
In the ''Series/SesameStreet'' special "Elmo Visits the Doctor", the title character is AfraidOfDoctors. Because of this, Elmo can't decide whether to have his earache treated or not, and sings a song about it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]
* ''Music/{{CG5}}'':
** "[[https://youtu.be/sCo5zBz00pI Phantom Dancing]]" features VideoGame/{{Luigi|sMansion}} singing about how terrified he is of the ghosts in the mansion, but how [[CowardlyLion he will keep going to save Mario]].
** "[[https://youtu.be/NbjSj26f8Zc Every Door]]" is sung by a kid being relentlessly pursued by VideoGame/{{Baldi|sBasicsInEducationAndLearning}}, and how the kid is terrified and wishes he were anywhere else. Baldi also gets some lines in the song, mainly about he will never stop chasing the kid.
** "[[https://youtu.be/pL_JulOAtmA Let Me Through]]" is primarily a VillainSong by various versions of [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Foxy]] as they hunt down the security guard, but the security guard also gets two segments in the song about how Foxy confuses and scares him.
* Music/FlandersAndSwann has "The Spider Song", about an arachnophobic man who's afraid to shave because there's a spider in the bath.
* Music/JudyPancoast, the children's singer, has a song called "Gotta Get a Shot", sung from the point-of-view of a little girl who [[InjectionPlot needs to get a shot]] but is AfraidOfNeedles.
* ''Music/TheLivingTombstone'': "[[https://youtu.be/weZKm1kTrpc Basics in Behavior]]" is sung from the perspective of a kid at VideoGame/{{Baldi|sBasicsInEducationAndLearning}}'s school, and it's mostly about how the kid is afraid of Baldi for being an EvilTeacher who chases them and their classmates down for failing to follow his rules.
* Music/LouReed's song "Waves of Fear" describes in details a panic attack.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theatre]]
* "I Whistle a Happy Tune" from ''Theatre/TheKingAndI'' consists of Anna the governess explaining her secret for dealing with fear. Pretending she's absolutely carefree fools other people and makes her feel better as well.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* The ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' episode "It Snakes a Village" has one, in which Gene explains snakes are the ''only'' thing he's afraid of:
--> '''Gene:''' I'm not afraid of ghosts/I'm not afraid of sharks/I'm not afraid of cancer/I'm just afraid of snakes!/ They really creep me out/Where are their arms and legs?/It's not okay!
* In ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', "The Bunny Rabbits Is Coming!" has a song by Wade about how he's scared of everything, even nonsensical items like flannel shirts and raisins.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': Played with. Billy sings "Scary-O" to list all of the things he is supposedly not scared of, but the song's lyrics consist of a series of paradoxes that invalidate his claims and make it clear he is actually terrified of everything he is saying.
--> '''Billy:''' "I'm not scared of earthquakes, as long as the ground doesn't shake!"
* ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'': In "Not Home on the Range", Leo's song "I'm Just a Jittery Jackaroo" is about his fear of horses.
* ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales''
** Defied with "God is Bigger than the Boogeyman," which is basically an ''anti''-fear song. The song teaches that God is bigger and stronger than anything you might be afraid of, and that trusting in Him is the best solution to fear.
** ''The League of Incredible Vegetables'': In "[[https://youtu.be/0SalfZG9i6I?t=86 Freeze, Freeze, Freeze]]," Dr. Flurry sings about how he's afraid of the heroes, and lists the symptoms that fear causes him. He also sings about how he plans to weaponize the heroes' own fears against them.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcdonald'': In "Scared Silly", Ronald and his friends take shelter in a haunted house after it rains during their camping trip. There are two similar songs about how creepy the house is, but with one being about how they have no other choice for shelter and another about how they can make it through if they stick together.
