A scary character is approaching, and the camera focuses on his/her foot crushing something, or just emphasizes the frightfulness with a closeup of the character's feet/boots, which may be adorned with Spikes of Doom or the like.
Differs from Feet-First Introduction in that it isn't necessarily the first appearance of the character. Compare Giant Foot of Stomping and Trampled Underfoot.

Terminator:
In The Terminator, the scene where the T-800 gets to Sarah Connor's home begins with a focus on the Terminator's booted foot crushing a toy.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day opens with the metal foot of a skin-free Terminator crushing a skull in an After the End Los Angeles.

In the Supergirl comic "The Infinite Monster!" (the first story that Kara Zor-El starred in after Superman finally allowed her to fight crime in public), Supergirl fights an interdimensional creature who looks so tall, that only its feet can fit in the panels. Until Supergirl shrinks the monster.

Subverted at the start of Jurassic World. What looks like a huge dinosaur's clawed feet stomp down on the ground. Then the camera pulls back to reveal that it's actually a tiny bird.

Masterfully parodied in Top Secret!, in a scene in which Nick Rivers is trying to infiltrate a fortress by crawling on the grass. He suddenly stops at the sight of a pair of boots in front of him. Slowly looking up in fear, he then realizes... they're just boots, left alone in the grass.

In the prelude's ending of Resident Evil 6, Leon and Helena are inspecting some dead BSAA soldiers when they notice something approaching them, and the camera shows a monstrous foot stomping hard on the floor. Subverted in the main campaign, where that's revealed to be Simmons' foot, with it not looking so monstrous.

Jurassic World Dominion: The Pyroraptor is introduced this way with a close-up of it's foot showing that not only is it the standard sickle-clawed raptor weapon but it's also webbed as if for swimming. Sure enough, that's exactly what it does when it dives beneath an ice-covered lake while chasing Owen and Kayla.

In the movie The Town That Dreaded Sundown, depicting the crimes of still-unidentified Serial Killer known as "The Phantom", halfway through the film, we are introduced to the killer this way, as he makes his way through town, supposeedly running random errands, but it reality, earmarking potential victims.

Miserable Probably the only time this trope has been combined with Fanservice. After all the other band members have been gobbled up by the giantess, A. Jay is the only member left. Then one of the woman's platform high heels slams down behind him, right before she gets down on all fours, grabs him, and makes him the last course in her meal .

In the dinosaur documentary Planet Dinosaur, this is how the Carcharodontosaurus◊ is properly introduced in the episode Lost World, by the camera slowly panning alongside a desert plain before the dinosaur's foot stomps down in front of the camera.

The Animorphs TV adaptation does this multiple times with the TV adaptation. Hork-Bajir.]] This mirrors the first official artistic interpretation of the species, in Book 20 of the Animorphs, in which only his feet can be seen.

In The Wolf Man (1941), the camera focuses on Larry Talbot's feet turning into wolf-like footpaws for the duration of a transformation scene. After Larry's feet become fully transformed, the camera continues to close up on then as he prowls out of the room and into the forest.

Jurassic Park (1993):
The approach of the T rex is once shown by its foot coming down into the shot and sinking into the mud.
Later on, the hook-clawed foot of a Velociraptor in the Visitor Center kitchen as two young children try desperately to hide from the predators.

The scene of the dinosaurs escaping into the wilderness after Masie Lockwood releases them in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is shot from Ely Mills's perspective as he huddles underneath an SUV trying not to get trampled as the feet of various large to gigantic dinosaurs parade around him.
Shortly after this scene and Mills getting devoured by it, we see the T. rex's foot stomp down on the Indominus rex sample, putting an end to any chances of making another one.
