As much as I utterly love Aliens and would like to see its example get the page's pic, Shima has a point, Rodney: the pic really doesn't look as good once reduced to 330 px. The xenomorph's iconic features such as the head are barely visible, and a eye not used to the Alien saga can mistake its form as a mass of cables or something like that. The pic being a weenie bit too dark doesn't help.

Stay on topic, please.

Can't we get another, later frame where the xenomorph's silhouette is more distinctive, with it still dripping water?

No :( There isn't a frame like that. That is a frame or two before Newt closes her eyes (and thus doesn't look good), and a few moments before she turns around.

A more distinctive silhouette is what I had in mind, but it turns out, it doesn't happen, a "better" frame is not that much better. Like I said when I posted it, it is not as good as I was hoping, but I think it is the best one so far, anyway.

Ditto for the Alien. The dripping water makes it pretty clear that it's rising out of the water, not just following her.

[up][up][up][up] how is the Ace Attorney Investigations pic not part of the trope? Is it very specifically just something literally rising up behind you?

The sequence shows the bear thing walking up from the distance, not rising from below.

To quote the article itself:

The important details are that Bob has no idea of the danger coming, and that the shot is continuously from in front of Bob until he has some inkling of the danger.

Unless more emphasis on "rising up from behind" is put into the article as the absolute most crucial detail, I don't see how it doesn't apply.

Oh, read that wrong.

I would think that the title makes the gist of the approach perfectly obvious...possible rename?

I still prefer the Alien picture by a mile, but I've found this Miyuki picture just recently and couldn't resist showing it to you. It runs on Rule of Funny and Amusing Injuries instead of horror, but:
