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 Songs 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 Halloween Songs, Warning Song, Fear Is Normal, and Melancholy Musical Number, and Face Your Fears. If the song is about being afraid of a villainous character, may overlap with "The Villain Sucks" Song, or even Villain Song if the villain sings in it too. Contrast Ode to Apathy, Bravado Song, and Pep-Talk Song, a musical number about trying to overcome fear and other negative emotions. |

The Backyardigans The episode "It's Great to be a Ghost" has "When I'm Booin'", a parody of "When You're Smilin'", which is about Tyrone being too much of a scaredy-moose to be a ghost. "Shy Guy" from "Castaways" is about Austin as a Shrinking Violet who's too nervous to walk right up to the other castaways and talk to them. |

Wicked: Elphaba sings No Good Deed after Fiyero is taken to be executed. The first part of the song deals with her growing fear that her desperate attempts at magic will not be enough to save him, before turning nihilistic and cynical as she angrily accepts her role as a villain. | |

Steven Universe: After realizing just how dangerous Homeworld is, Steven sings "Full Disclosure", about how he doesn't want to keep involving Connie in the Gem conflict but is too afraid to confront her. In the season five episode "Can't Go Back", Lapis sings "That Distant Shore" about how her trauma from her experiences in the last Gem War keeps her from fully committing to the Crystal Gems, even though she wants to now. |

Babes in Toyland: "The Worst Is Yet To Come" starts out as a Villain Song, as Rodrigo and Gonzargo, who are taking the kid heroes to the land of goblins, taunt the kids about their imminent deaths. But it becomes a sort of musical Oh, Crap! moment near the end as Rodrigo and Gonzargo start to finally realize that, by entering the goblins' territory, they've put themselves in danger too. | |

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 "Freeze, Freeze, Freeze," Dr. Flurry sings about his fear of the heroes, listing the symptoms it causes in him. He also describes how he plans to weaponize the heroes' own fears against them. |

CG5: Luigi's song "Phantom Dancing" describes both how terrified he is of the ghosts in the mansion and how he will keep on going and save Mario anyway. "Every Door" is sung by a boy being relentlessly pursued by Baldi. It describes both his terror and his wish to be anywhere else. Baldi also has some lines in the song saying he will never stop chasing the kid. "Let Me Through" is primarily a Villain Song by various versions of 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. |

The Nightmare Before Christmas: Played with. The song "This is Halloween" has the residents of Halloween Town singing about themselves, because they're scary and that's their job. "Sally's Song" is primarily a Melancholy Musical Number, but also has elements of this trope. It starts off with Sally singing about how she's anxious because she's the only one who realizes that Jack's Subbing for Santa plan is not going to end well. |
