It's the little spiraly design that seems to come up so often in cartoonier media influenced by Goth culture, which itself was heavily inspired by the feel of The Nightmare Before Christmas (pictured). The popularity of this film has influenced an entire generation of young artists with dark proclivities (see DeviantArt) and seems at times so common that one wonders if all one needs to add a bit of gothic appeal to their work is to add a few little spiral designs here and there. Contrast (or sometimes compare) Everything's Better with Sparkles. Examples |

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, anything associated with Twilight is going to have these, from the Tron Lines on portals, monsters and Midna to the markings on Zant's robes (even the emblem on the front part of his outfit, which is interesting considering that it's a stylized version of the previously non-spirally Gerudo symbol). | |

In Eversion, the flowers become deadly spiked spirals after many eversions. So do the face blocks in World 7. And a lot of spirals can eventually seen in the background in HD version. | |

Werewolf: The Apocalypse had a group of evil corrupted werewolves as one of its main villain types. Their name? The Black Spiral Dancers. The primary initiation ritual for the Dancers is to walk a literal one, which looks like a harmless spiral in the floor but will bring you face-to-face with the Wyrm, and you don't want to come face-to-face with the Wyrm. |

Perhaps not everywhere in Invader Zim, but at least two examples can be seen: One being in Halloween Spectacular of Spooky Doom, Nightmare Membrane's lab coat ends with strangely swirling mist, and Nightmare Gaz's hair is shaped like squared spirals. In Door to Door, the specter of Poop Dogg (wearing a black robe, a la Ghost of Christmas Future) has the same swirls as Nightmare Membrane. | |

Ember of Danny Phantom sports a spiral design under her right eye in her role as something of a Gothic (undead) rock star. It may be a Shout-Out to Gaiman's Death. | |

Dark City made a repeating theme of spirals: spiraling staircases, spiral patterns carved into victims, spiral rat mazes, spirals drawn by a madman. A good chunk of the movie is devoted to this trope. As seen from the Strangers' map, the entire city is arranged as a spiral. | |

The Sandman (1989): Death is portrayed with a small spiral design under her eye. Although she is indeed a Perky Goth, this is more an Egyptian motif (probably the Eye of Horus) in keeping with her habit of wearing an ankh, although the ankh is much more symbolic. Delirium's sigil is a spiral or a bunch of spirals (at least in the manga-esque At Death's Door), although they're less goth, more insane. |

Some types of heartless in Kingdom Hearts have spirals in their design. And, obviously, The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of the recurring worlds. |

The Nightmare Before Christmas. Interestingly, the trope picture is photoshopped to look spookier.. And much of Tim Burton's work; he seems to like them. In fact, the logo for the exhibit on him at the Museum of Modern Art was a spiral. |
