Normally, people who are calm tend to speak in a clear, even voice that doesn't vary too much from word to word and is immensely reassuring to the listener. This isn't always a good thing, however. A perfectly monotone voice usually means just the opposite of sanity, safety, and cause for reassurance; usually, it means the speaker is mind-controlled, crazy, an impostor, or is being threatened with death. In these cases, the creepy monotone is a sort of Glamour Failure to clue in the hero that any of a dozen things may have just gone wrong. Usually, the creepy monotone varies from a calm monotone in that no word or syllable is stressed at all, even when they should be. This is the difference between saying "Oh hello!" and "Oh, hello." Even Spock Speak sounds more natural and less unsettling by comparison. Contractions are often omitted, as are specific or explicit mentions of names and facts, depending on the cause of the monotone. Here are some common scenarios for the Creepy Monotone. "Yes, I am fine. I'll be even better once I load my gun, though." The character has just suffered a Heroic BSoD or one too many rounds of Break the Cutie and/or is about to go completely homicidally berserk. Usually paired with jittery motions, twitching, or a Broken Smile. "Hello, do you have some raw meat?" One of the hero's friends or family has been Demonically Possessed, Brainwashed, or mind controlled via The Virus and are exhibiting Virus-Victim Symptoms. Usually, they're normal, except for odd behavior. "Good morning annoying sibling, I am your sister Melanie." An evil duplicate (Robot, Clone, Shapeshifter, Doppleganger, or what have you, even zombie/ghost possession/mind control) has replaced the character. Their tell will usually be not knowing names and facts about their host and friends, knowing too much about their host, assuring everyone that they are Most Definitely Not a Villain, or a radically different personality. May be Too Dumb to Live at things the real one — or even anyone without too much Fish out of Temporal Water and minimal Genre Blindness — could do perfectly fine. A protagonist doing this, impersonating the hero while the hero is doing something else, is almost inevitably going to be the one that will be the most idiotic and provide either Fanservice or tons of Squick and Fan Disservice. "Yes, dear. I'm fine. Please bring the MacGuffin to the Haunted Castle, won't you?" Hubby is being coerced by force to trick the hero into a trap, often includes an Out-of-Character Alert to try cluing the hero in to their being kidnapped. "How is our pet poodle Muffin?" "I am sorry. If it's any consolation, this likely won't hurt much." If a character is introduced speaking like this, then all bets are off. If you're lucky, they're just an Emotionless Girl or The Stoic, but odds are they're an Evil A.I., Sociopath, Ax-Crazy, or some other seriously dangerous character. "Hello! My name is Sally! It is very nice to meet you!" A case of Vocal Dissonance leads people to think her naturally frigid, emotionless, unfriendly voice means she's evil or at least an Emotionless Girl but she's actually a very warm-hearted, friendly, and kind person. She just happens to have a voice that can turn your blood to icewater instantly. People's first perceptions become a running gag. Machine Monotone is a Sub-Trope. You may wish to compare Dissonant Serenity. Can make a very effective Deadpan Snarker. Compare Tranquil Fury, Alternate Catchphrase Inflection, and Voice of the Legion. |

Rorschach from Watchmen speaks in a low, growly monotone (other characters remark on its unsettling quality) with odd, near-Hulk Speak clipped sentences. "Yes. Good night. Remember it often." He has flashes of eloquence, too, which are unnervingly at odds with this style of delivery. His mode of speaking is shown by his unique speech bubbles, with no words ever bolded or italicised for emphasis like the other characters'. By contrast, his speech bubbles in flashbacks to before the Blaire Roche case indicate a totally normal voice. |

The Regis Mark V in Megas XLR speaks exclusively with a rapidly-delivered but completely neutral tone of voice. It makes sense as it's a robot, but the way it says it makes it sound like assimilating everything non-organic into itself is as natural to it as breathing is to a human. | |

Interestingly, Darth Vader talks like this in the first Hungarian dubbing of The Empire Strikes Back, even keeping up the emotionless tone during his dramatic confrontation with Luke. Nostalgic fans often cite this as their favorite Vader voice, but others claim it came off more as "reading a script" than "acting". Much later, Supreme Leader Snoke from The Force Awakens is introduced with a low and malevolent voice, coupled with a deep echo for extra chills. Physically his appearance looks ancient with a tone that can go from sinister calm to bellowing frustration within a split second. |

Subverted in Dexter. Half the fun of most dialogues the title character takes part in resides in the way Michael C. Hall delivers his lines, in an emotionless creepy monotone that should trigger the "serial killer alarm" in the minds of even the most oblivious of the other characters... except, of course, it never does. "Why, in a building full of cops — all supposedly with a keen insight into the human soul — is Doakes the only one that gets the creeps from me?" Inverted when he snaps and kills the used car salesman for insulting Rita. Cue scared "he's freaking crazy!" reaction. | |

The Simpsons: In "Treehouse of Horror IV", Bart is turned into a vampire. He rejoins the family and monotones, "Hello, mother. Hello, father. I missed you during my uneventful absence." "Treehouse of Horror V" has anyone who's been "re-Neducated", the final phase of which consists of people getting a total frontal lobotomy. Also used in "The PTA Disbands", coupled with Troubling Unchildlike Behavior. In "Bart on the Road", Lisa has to tell Homer that Bart had rented a car with a fake ID and was trapped in Tennessee. Homer's face goes red and he says calmly, "Yes. That's a real pickle. Would you excuse me?" He puts on a radiation helmet and screams incoherently for a while, causing the faceplate of the helmet to fog up. He then takes it off and says, now using the monotone again, "Alright, I have thought this through. I will send Bart the money to fly home. Then I will murder him." |

Naruto Shino Aburame. (when he talks, anyway.) Somehow, this makes him even creepier than being a living hive for 4 million insects would by itself. Gaara would fit this. Even after his Heel–Face Turn, he still retains his gruff-yet-emotionless monotone way of speaking. Old habits die hard, it seems. And Itachi Uchiha, whose voice, though not quite a monotone, stays very even whether he's chatting with his partner or predicting your death. |

In RWBY the Albain Brothers talk very calmly, with soft, purring voices that give off a sinister vibe. Throughout a tense conversation with Blake and Ghira, their tone and modulation barely rise, and they keep the same flat voice while casually discussing informing Adam about Blake's whereabouts. It's one of several reasons Sun finds them creepy. Averted Trope as they attack the Belladonna estate, where they yell like one would expect in the tense situation of a fight. | |

DC Animated Universe: In Batman: The Animated Series, Mr. Freeze never really deviates from his cold, chilling (no pun intended) monotone, providing juxtaposition to the emotional depth of the character. It's quite effective. Word of God has it that his voice actor, Michael Ansara, struggled with this element of the role — his instinct was to act, and he had to be constantly reminded to be flat and robotic. Especially creepy in the Batman Beyond episode "Meltdown", in which he stops being simply apathetic and starts being straight up merciless. Terminal, a one-shot Batman Beyond villain, is another good one. This from the man (Michael Rosenbaum) who went on to play the Flash. It's especially creepy considering how Terminal is the leader of a gang of Jokerz. "You're not laughing. He's not laughing." The Joker himself in much of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Less laughing, more menacing. Jeffrey Combs as both the Scarecrow in Batman: The Animated Series and the Question in Justice League. The difference being that Scarecrow's is creepy and Question's was hilarious. Question's speech to Luthor in "Question Authority" falls right into this trope, however, being disturbingly calm. Braniac in Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League. |

Harry Potter: The Big Bad Lord Voldemort speaks in a calm, flat tone of voice; this, perhaps even more than his use of Soul Jars and his utter lack of compassion, makes him terrifying. Except for when he gets agitated. It comes across more like him trying to achieve this trope but failing every now and again. As Crouch Jr. proves, people who have drunk Veritaserum (Truth Serum) also speak like this. |

Homestuck's Gamzee possibly speaks in monotone; it's hard to be certain exactly how his text quirk would be vocalised. At any rate, he later goes off the deep end, and upscales his wHiMsIcAl CaSe AlTeRnAtIoN to whole lines of text, meaning that he alternates between barely audible and screaming in rage. Aradia also speaks like this. | |

Both of Aiko's parents in Vampire Princess Miyu speak in very flat, unemotional voices and have very slow speech patterns; this makes them sound horribly creepy, even when they seem to be very kind persons aside of this "detail". This very subtly hints that they are actually Dead All Along. Miyu's father also speaks similarly in the flashbacks, which complements his totally emotionless personality quite well. This is because, after Miyu's mother bit him, he became an Empty Shell. |

The Borg from Star Trek speak like this, along with Voice of the Legion. Individual Borg that have been separated from the Hive Mind also start off with a creepy monotone, though as they develop their own personalities, they usually segue into Deadpan Snarker or Spock Speak. Award for creepiest borg monotone goes to Locutus' line: "Your resistance is hopeless... Number One." Almost everything Locutus said was terrifying. It's worth noting that Picard used the Locutus monotone while interrogating the liberated drone Hugh, who recognized Picard as Locutus. Lt. Commander Data also qualifies for this trope. There are situations where, combined with his natural Dissonant Serenity, Data's calm demeanor can be downright nightmarish. Data spends most of "Masks" being a Large Ham after a number of alien personalities take over his body. Before Data or anyone else understands what is happening to him, however, he calmly asks LaForge a chilling question in a haunting monotone: |

Raven from Teen Titans (2003). The Brain also speaks in a rather creepy, electronic one. Slade also speaks in an eerily calm voice. Slade is played by Ron Perlman, who used the exact same monotone when narrating as Fire Lord Sozin from Avatar: The Last Airbender in "The Avatar and the Fire Lord". |

Lost gives us Benjamin Linus. "Of course, if I was one of them, these people that you just assume are your enemies, what would I do? There would be no balloon so I would draw them out to a really secluded place, like a cave or some underbrush, a good place for a trap... an ambush. And when your friends got there a bunch of my people would be waiting for them. Then they would use them to trade for me. I guess it's a good thing I'm not one of them, huh? ...You guys got any milk?" | |

The Wheel of Time: Myrddraal have voices that sound like crumbling bone and are utterly devoid of emotion or inflection. Not only is this incredibly creepy, but it makes Shaidar Haran, the Mouth of Sauron for the Dark One, even more disturbing by comparison. In the last book, the Sharan accent is described in this vein; a Sharan Ayyad who is part of Demandred's army is described as sounding like "all the music was gone from her voice." Rand lapses into this in The Gathering Storm after he crosses the Despair Event Horizon. Before he recovers, his voice is flat, mild, and skin-crawlingly terrifying to everyone around him. |

Daredevil (2015): James Wesley speaks in a very flat monotonous tone, which combined with his glasses makes him very intimidating as a mouthpiece for Fisk. Wilson Fisk is no sloucher either in this department when he's giving long-winded soliloquys. Dex whenever he attempts to feign empathy with some sort of variation of "It's hard, it's really hard". |

Throughout the episode, he tries to trick the others into wearing brain slugs. |

Ultra Series: Ultraman: Ultraman himself when he and Hayata first met - he has an odd echo to his voice, and this appears to be his speaking voice rather than telepathic inter-alien communication.note This was because his voice actor in that scene was a Temporary Substitute with no voice-acting experience. Ultraman Z: Kaburagi speaks like this when possessed by Celebro, with an added reverb effect to his voice for maximum creepiness. He slowly loses this trait as the series goes on and Celebro's Mask of Sanity starts cracking, revealing the raving psychopath beneath. Fitting for a modern retelling of Ultraman, every Extraterrestrial in Shin Ultraman speaks this way, including Ultraman himself. This serves mainly to emphasise how mysterious and far beyond humanity they are. |

Game of Thrones: Peter Baelish always speaks in a smarmy, wry half-whisper. Not too creepy and even somewhat affable when he simply converses with his peers, but he uses the same tone when describing the things he did to poor women who displeased him, or telling a helpless girl, that she's totally safe with him. One of the prisoners at Harrenhal speaks this way in "Garden of Bones" when explaining that her entire family has recently been tortured to death. Styr the Magnar pairs this with a guttural voice and a Softspoken Sadist to breed a great Obviously Evil voice. |

Star Trek Into Darkness has the subdued John Harrison as its villain, employing a monotone which barely shows any emotion (other than anger). It's a contrast with the hammy Nero from the previous movie, and Ricardo Montalban's original incarnation of the character. | |

On the few occasions in Warhammer 40,000 that Necron Lords have spoken, they have been unusually polite and cultured speakers possessed of a truly chilling calm, which may make some sense, given that they are the still-sentient leaders of a race that now exists as, for all intents and purposes, undead robots. "Lucky creatures... At long last... you have found... the tranquillity... of death..." |

Shockwave of Transformers: Animated. He even gives a Shout-Out to HAL 9000, saying "I'm afraid I can't let you do that" to Ratchet. Though in his disguise as Longarm, he talks normally. The same show's version of Megatron has this to a lesser degree. Amusingly, he once modified his voice to impersonate Bulkhead, but kept the monotone. |

This is one of the reasons Mesogog, from Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, is one of the scariest villains in the Power Rangers franchise. He never raises his voice at all. Even when expressing extreme anger, frustration or threats, he stays completely calm. Since he is a half human/half dinosaur hybrid, he combines this trope with Snake Talk, which makes him even more creepy. | |

Legato Bluesummers of Trigun almost always spoke with a monotone (or simply very calm) voice. And then you find out that his English voice is Kenshin Himura of all people... Subverted in the manga: after being crippled by Knives for trying to kill Vash, he turns Axe-Crazy, but still talks with the creepy monotone. |

Doctor Who: The Daleks use a mechanical, staccato voice delivery, but they tend to increase both speed and volume for emphasis. Also, there's quite a bit of variation of individual voices. Creepy, yes; intensely emotional, and very monotone — only the single tone used isn't flat apathy, but rather a consistent bent of shrieking hysterical rage. When they're not grating out staccato bursts of antipathy, it usually means something's very, very wrong. The Cybermen from "The Moonbase" onwards speak in a flat, mechanical tone of voice in the 1960s, the '70s (i.e. "Revenge of the Cybermen"), and the revival series. In "The Tenth Planet", they speak in a creepy emotionless sing-song modelled on early 'singing computers' like IBM 7094, while in the '80s, they speak in a projected shout similar to that of the Daleks (though deeper and more drawn out). The sociopathic and terrifying Himmler-Expy Nyder in "Genesis of the Daleks" has this as his affect. He's remembered as one of the scariest supporting characters in the story because of this, even next to Davros and the Daleks. The robots in "The Robots of Death" — one of the many reasons why they invoke the Uncanny Valley In-Universe. The sequel Corpse Marker establishes that this monotone has become fashionable for humans to affect, especially those of upper classes. The creepiness in "The Impossible Planet" consists mostly of the creepy monotone of the Ood and the computer system being possessed by Satan. The Family of Blood from "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood" sport eerie monotones for a little while after they start inhabiting human bodies... and then all four of them go stark raving mad. Used to great effect in "Silence in the Library", where an AI retelling cries of panic and pain in utterly emotionless creepy monotone makes the situation seem scarier than it would be if they were reproduced verbatim. When controlled by the Dalek in "Resolution", Lin speaks like this. |

In Ghosts of the Past, sequel of Child of the Storm, Maddie seems to have this, as part of her Emotionless Girl and Living Weapon shtick. She picked it up from her boss, Nathaniel Essex, who is described as very rarely showing emotion. Notably, as her Heel–Face Turn progresses, she starts doing this less and less. Her cousin, Harry, also starts doing this when he's on the far side of Tranquil Fury. It's generally a sign that things are getting very, very bad. |

Paul von Oberstein from Legend of the Galactic Heroes has a trademark monotone and is one of the grey characters of the series. While he has thrown his lot in with Reinhard, he also has his own goals and apparently has little need for the fellowship of the other admirals. His actions lead to the death of Siegfried Kircheis, Reinhard's closest friend in an assassination targeting Reinhard. He is also a participant in the events that lead to Oscar von Reuental's rebellion, although he later exhibits something, not unlike sympathy. | |

The Androids from Dragon Ball are supposed to be a Machine Monotone variety, although Android 8 uses a little more inflection than most, and (in English), 17 and 18 can get pretty emotive depending on situational context. 13 is an aversion, because he’s outrageously boisterous to begin with. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door: The Delightful Children from Down the Lane play with this trope - while sometimes, they speak in monotone, they also can have emotional responses, such as anger and frustration, etc. However, they all speak at the same time. Lampshaded and subverted with The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy's Billy in the crossover special, in which he can't seem to keep up with them. The episode "Operation: D.A.T.E" has the Delightful Children using a Mind-Control Device on a lot of kids they invited to a party in their mansion. As a result, they get Mind-Control Eyes and keep saying "Join us..." in a monotone sounding voice. The Interesting Twins From Beneath The Lane also speak in monotones, but they behave much more individually although they are Finishing Each Other's Sentences. Minor villains Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb speak in monotone. Though they do show emotion sometimes. |

It's not just Hawking. Anyone who speaks using an artificial voicebox has no choice but to use a monotone, as the mechanism doesn't allow for inflection and tone. (For reference see Ned Gerblansky on South Park, or any number of laryngectomy patients in anti-smoking public service announcements.) Later, Hawking was offered improved software that could affect tone better and use a more appropriate accent; he turned it down because the synthesiser is recognised as being his voice. | |

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Willow, when she snaps at the end of season 6 and goes on her Roaring Rampage of Revenge (or would it be "Creepy Monotonous" Rampage of Revenge?): "Bored now." What makes it even creepier is that the monotonous "Bored now" is the exact line used by an alternate version of Willow wherein she was an evil badass vampire chick. Dark Willow was basically her vampire double sans the vampire. |

No wonder Lift doesn't think he's even human. The Sunlit Man: The spirit Auxiliary speaks in a completely flat, toneless voice due to an incident that badly damaged his soul.

Digimon Frontier's Dark Trailmon. He's actually very HAL-inspired, in design and in voice. (Ironically, he's not evil, just creepy: you expect the Dark Trailmon that you meet in the Dark Terminal during a hallucination caused by Duskmon, the Warrior of Darkness, after he ambushed you and kicked your butt on the Dark Continent to be a little... dark.) Prior to that, Adventure had Machinedramon, who was dark. Many Nightmares from Digimon Tamers came from J-Reaper, who was even darker. |

X-Men: Apocalypse: This is how Apocalypse sounds when he informs Professor X, "I'm here for you, Charles." The voice is quite chilling, and it forebodes that Xavier will soon be in really deep trouble. | |

Sgt. Frog: Kululu, who gets inexplicably high pitched when he gets particularly excited about something (usually terrible or destructive), which actually makes him even creepier.
