I don't think this is different from a regular Easter Egg in any significant way. Just move the examples there (if they're not already there) and cut this one.

The way I see it, it's Easter Egg but played for horror.
Now, I'm not sure if that merits its own page. I'm relatively new so I don't know how it works here, but... do we really have tropes that play like that? "X played for funny", "X played for sadness" or things like that?
We don't need justice when we can forgive. We don't need tolerance when we can love.

Played for Laughs and Played for Drama is usually not considered a meaningful distinction. See The Same, but More Specific and Tropes Are Flexible.

Going to keep this short because there's not much to say. It's basically a The Same But More Specific version Easter Egg where the Easter Egg is supposed to be scary or something.
While the trope is a recent YKTTW launch, it appears to have gotten a sufficient hat count, so I don't think taking it to the YKTTW Crash Rescue Thread is really appropriate.
