It's one thing to Punch Out Cthulhu. It's something else entirely to scare the living bejesus out of him. This is a trope for when someone — or something — is frightening enough to scare things that would usually be an object of terror themselves. If someone can scare demons, monsters, and Eldritch Abominations, they're probably a force to be reckoned with. Can equally well be played straight or Played for Laughs — for example, as a Scared of What's Behind You bait-and-switch gag. All too likely to happen when a Food Chain of Evil is in effect. Break the Badass is when this happens to more human entities. May overlap with Mook Horror Show for sufficiently monstrous mooks. Compare Even Evil Has Standards for when the horror is morally outraged at what he's seen. See also Always a Bigger Fish, The Worf Effect, Eviler than Thou, Failed Attempt at Scaring, Outscare the Enemy, Respected by the Respected. |

In The Thrilling Adventure Hour, Nightmares the Clown is an Emotion Eating Monster Clown who feeds on fear and is a recurring nemesis of Frank and Sadie Doyle. In their fifth encounter, he finally has the Doyles on the ropes, forcing upon them their two biggest fears of sobriety and being separated from each other. Frank's response is a Badass Boast about how dangerous he once was and could be again if he got serious, and that Sadie is even more dangerous than him. The ultimate effect is to cause Nightmares to realize what it is he truly fears: Frank and Sadie Doyle. | |

Daughter of the Lilies: Whatever Thistle's face looks like, it's enough to send one of the cannibalistic night elves running away in panic. There's a reason she always wears a hood. It turns out the Cave Elf was just horrified that he had attacked and tried to eat a fellow Cave Elf — a female one at that (Cave Elves have a matriarchal society). | |

X-Men: Proteus manages to horrify Wolverine so bad he vomits in terror, and Cyclops has to enrage Logan to get him back on his feet. This applies double with Ultimate X Men, where Wolverine is decidedly more amoral, and he calmly tells Charles Xavier the amount of hatred Proteus has for him scares Logan. | |

At the climax of The Matrix, once Neo figures out he's the One, the sight of the stuff he then does to Agent Smith causes the other two Agents present to just plain run for their digital lives. While the sequels provide for more nuanced interpretations, when the first film is viewed on its own this scene runs rather clearly along the lines of this trope. | |

In Stand Still, Stay Silent, the main threat in the Death World Forbidden Zone that the main characters are exploring are Plague Zombie monsters that mutated from humans (trolls) and animals (beasts). Later in the story, they start running into ghosts that are a danger to all living beings. Chapter 10 showed that animals sharing space with ghosts tend to avoid the rooms in which they dwell. Chapter 12 shows that trolls that roam in an Abandoned Hospital with a ghost-room avoid the place as well. | |

RWBY: Cinder Fall is nothing short of a murderous, spiteful, manipulative sociopath, but the sight of Tyrian butchering a Beowulf out of anguish over disappointing Salem is enough to terrify her. The creatures of Grimm are consistently shown to be mindless killing machines, with only the oldest and most intelligent ones displaying any kind of self-preservation instinct. The arrival of the Hound in Volume 8 is enough to make three Sabyrs stop in mid-charge, turn around, and run; this freaks out the heroes, who have never seen Grimm flee like that. The Jabberwalker in Volume 9 marks its presence as a lethal force to Ever After, having the ability to perma-kill its inhabitants when they would normally resurrect upon dying, as well as being the Flawed Prototype to the Grimm as a whole. Neo is already a terrifying psychopath on her own, but her semblance evolving to Self-Duplication is enough to make the poor Jabberwalker beg for its life. |

In The Hunger Games, like in the book, Clove is one of the most dreaded and skilled of the Tributes. Although she's a normal human like everyone else, she's an Ax-Crazy Psycho Knife Nut who has been raised The Spartan Way to compete in the Hunger Games and strides across the Moral Event Horizon by gloating about killing Rue. However, even she is visibly terrified of Thresh, desperately screaming and pleading when he grabs her by the throat, enraged at the death of his district partner Rue. Justified by the fact that he then proceeds to kill Clove in a single blow. | |

In every route of Yo-Jin-Bo, Harumoto is in full Villainous Breakdown mode by the climax, ready to blow up the watchtower that he and the heroes are standing on in order to die taking them with him rather than live to be captured; in Ittosai's route, he uses Sayuri as a Human Shield and forces her to make an Anguished Declaration of Love to Ittosai just to twist the knife by making Ittosai choose between killing them both or doing nothing until they all die from the impending explosion. When Ittosai declares his willingness to run his sword through the woman who loves him in order to get to Harumoto and then kill himself afterwards, even Harumoto is thoroughly unnerved. | |

I'm the Grim Reaper: Scarlet's demon form is powerful enough to scare Brook badly, far more than he would like to admit. It's implied he would much rather ignore her than risk her going out of control again. Judah, despite being a mere human, is able to horrify Scarlet with what few memories she has of him as Ante. Later, after being sliced into pieces and melted down into liquid except for his hand by him, even Brook is terrified of him. |

At WrestleMania 31, Undertaker faced Bray Wyatt, who has a similar supernatural gimmick and is basically a horror movie villain. At one point, Wyatt starts gloating over a downed Undertaker and does a spider crawl out of The Exorcist, only for Undertaker to sit up. Wyatt immediately stops and backs away, terrified. | |

SCP Foundation: The Foundation's attempts to pit living SCPs against SCP-682 in a bid to destroy it usually leave 682 alive but injured and the other SCP utterly terrified of 682. SCP-173 is noteworthy because it is the only thing that 682 fears. SCP-682 also happens to be scared shitless of SCP-524, a fluffy little bunny rabbit that just so happens to be able to eat anything and everything... including 682. SCP-1730 is a Foundation site from an Alternate History where they had a merger with the GOC and became something utterly horrifying, becoming endlessly worse than the monsters they fought. In our reality Bobble the Clown is some kind of signal-born abomination that has been meddling with humanity from the start and now teaches children murder and violence through a brainwashing TV show the Foundation has to contain. In this alternate site, he was one of the "lucky ones" who was merely locked up and experimented with, and is still a mangled, crippled, and utterly traumatized survivor, who witnessed atrocities so huge burning an entire alternate dimension to the ground and salting the ashes was just the start. SCP-5000 is 1730 on steroids, an Alternate Timeline in which the Foundation actively started working to Kill All Humans as well as every anomaly that wouldn't get with the program (which was most of the ones that were still capable of reason). |

In Starship Troopers, the humans victoriously cheer when Carl Jenkins uses his telepathy to announce that the captured leader of the Arachnids, the Brain Bug, is afraid of them. Given that the film is meant to be a reversed alien invasion story in which we humans are the warmongering bastards, this isn't exactly something to feel proud of, but for the in-universe War Is Glorious population, it's music for their ears. | |

Robin: Fright Knight has the ability to utterly horrify opponents with a simple "Boo" no matter what they've witnessed before. This becomes hilarious when they come up against the Terror Hero Ragman, who routinely creeps out his own allies and occasionally even unsettles himself, as they send him running a block away to cower in an alley after casually asking him if he wanted to see their power. | |

The Batman Who Laughs disturbs and horrifies the Joker so much that whenever he talks about him, the Joker becomes deathly serious. He even quit a team-up with Lex Luthor on the spot after learning Lex was dealing with BWL, confessing that while he was planning on betraying and giving Luthor an incredibly Cruel and Unusual Death, whatever BWL has planned would be much much worse. | |

There's a stock routine in Pantomime that uses this. Three characters, one of them the dame (an older female character played by a man), are onstage and comment that the place they're in is haunted and they need to be on the lookout for ghosts (or other monsters), and ask the audience to tell them if they see one (they may then start to sing a song to keep their spirits up). A ghost (or whatever) then enters behind them, prompting the audience to shout "Behind you!" in the classic panto style. The characters then look around and fail to spot the ghost, as it follows them and always stays behind them until it exits (they never think to look in different directions to cover the whole area between them because that wouldn't be funny). Then the routine is repeated, except one character (unseen by the other two) spots the ghost and runs offstage in terror. The others wonder where they've gone and repeat the routine (more nervously) and a second character is scared off, leaving only the dame. The routine is repeated once more — except this time the ghost runs offstage in terror at the sight of the dame. | |

The Last Days of FOXHOUND: Psycho Mantis, despite the amusing snark and the coffee obsession, is a terrifyingly powerful psychic engine of mass murder whenever he cuts loose. The Sorrow's "test", confronting him with the souls of everyone he's killed, reduces him to a quivering mess for a while, although he comes to terms with it relatively quickly. | |

Then Gwendolyn goes to see if he's okay, and he's so terrified of her apparent Slasher Smile that he passes out. | |

Children in Monsters, Inc. scare monsters... including the ones whose job it is to scare children for a living. Played for Laughs. It's implied that the CDA deliberately cultivates the image of human children as horrors that the monsters should fear in order to keep them from being exploited as Waternoose tried to do with Boo. | |

And then there's Zimmy, who even freaks out Reynardine, a body-snatching demon, enough that he won't voluntarily touch anything that belongs to her. Zimmy is herself freaked out by Kat. This is what Kat looks like to her. |

Immortal Hulk: The titular version of the Hulk, already proven to be one of the most outright malevolent of the Hulks (maybe not out-and-out evil, but he sure as Hell ain't nice), screams in fear and terror when he encounters Brian Banner. The fact the Hulks are born out of the trauma that was Bruce's childhood, the Devil Hulk in particular from his desire for a loving dad, feeds into this. | |

The extended edition of King Kong (2005) has a sequence that starts with the rescue party being attacked on their makeshift rafts (they're in a swamp) by a pack of cat-sized scorpio-pedes, which abruptly break off the attack and flee moments before the arrival of a piranhadon -- a predatory fish the size of a small whale. In the theatrical cut, Anne is attacked by a pair of Foetodon, land crocodilians roughly around the size of tigers, and crawls into a log to escape them. As she does, one is pulled offscreen and upwards by something, and the second stares at whatever it was and promptly beats it. Anne, exiting the log, finds a V-Rex standing there staring at her, the remains of the first beast in its mouth. |

Used in a plot arc in DC's old Forgotten Realms comic. The dragons of Faerun are generally badass, aloof, and most if not all of them have killed plenty of "lesser" beings before for some reason or other...but even they have a collective Oh, Crap! moment and are earnestly considering leaving their familiar home grounds behind and moving into places more commonly populated by humans, elves and so on when a mysterious killer starts to leave a trail of headless dragon corpses behind him-, her- or itself. | |

Girl Genius has got the lot: The Other, the genocidal entity that wiped out major parts of Europe and created Mad Science monstrosities of every stripe (that themselves terrified Mad Scientists back in the day), is afraid of the mere mention of the name Barry Heterodyne. Similarly, the Other was scared (momentarily) out of Agatha's body by Von Pinn. The Jägergenerals, massive Lightning Bruisers, are absolutely terrified of the Dreen; extra-dimensional beings employed by the Baron. They're also, to a lesser extent, scared of the Baron himself. On that note, we have the fight between Gil and General Vole conclude with Vole baffled by how it seems Gil wants to die at his hands. Apparently, at some point in the past, Old Heterodynes meddled with time itself, but while doing this they discovered something that terrified even them, the worst Spark overlords that the whole continent trembled before. They turned their back on all the power they could possibly gain because of this. Turns out, that thing was also the Dreen. The novels are clearer on this: everybody is scared witless of the Dreen: the Other, Wasps, Jägers, the Pirates... And something worse than that may be coming, now that the original incident that revealed that something has been replicated in an even worse fashion. When Castle Heterodyne gets a good look at what exactly is coming from the new rift caused by the Baron stopping time, it starts screaming. Sure, the Dreen were dozens and had hats, but they were much smaller than whatever is coming this time. Agatha takes a moment to paralyze Bangladesh Dupree and let her know in no uncertain terms that if she ever hurts her friends again, she will end her. Bang's expression says the rest. The Polar Ice Lords, when they finally get some proper exposition, are described to be not inhuman, but more akin to actual demons capable of warping reality to a higher degree than even Queen Albia. And one of them addresses Agatha as a horror that should not be underestimated (whether he's talking about her specifically or just the Heterodynes is not made clear). |

The Undertaker has a gimmick of a nearly unstoppable deadman with supernatural powers. One time, in a match with Randy Orton, Orton ordered a casket brought out. Undertaker incapacitated Orton and opened the casket to throw him in, only to find a realistic dummy that looked exactly like him inside. Undertaker still won the match, but he was really shaken up. | |

Kill Six Billion Demons: The multiverse is split into 7 parts, each ruled by one of the seven Demiurges, including a decadent witch queen, a titanic dragon banker, an eldritch abomination made of worms, a kung-fu god-king, a master of dreams, and an all-knowing corpse entombed in glass. All of them powerful enough to rule one-seventh of the multiverse, all of them deathly afraid of the last Demiurge, a nigh-invulnerable warlord zealot dead set on destroying all existence. Also Zoss. Incubus is understandably scared when Zoss shows up in the same dream as he's visiting. Zoss is the one who used to rule all the multiverse before vanishing without a trace, allowing the demiurges split it between themselves. |

Freddy vs. Jason: In the final battle, sadistic dream stalking Serial Killer Freddy Krueger looks like he's about to wet himself when he realizes that he's been pulled into the real world, where he is vulnerable and he has to deal with an extremely pissed off Jason Voorhees coming after him with a machete. This trope goes both ways—earlier in the film after realizing that Jason's fear is water, Freddy threw Jason into a nightmare where he was forced to relive his traumatic childhood memories of being relentlessly bullied and picked on and then pushed into Camp Crystal Lake to drown. After some exposure to these memories, Jason devolves from a Nigh-Invulnerable undead menace to a sobbing, terrified child. |

Boyfriend of the Dead: A Zombie Apocalypse happens, turning most of Tokyo into an undead wasteland. The zombies view the humans as nothing but food — that is until they meet Alex. Alex is an ordinary girl who wants to go shopping now that there are no crowds. She kills over a hundred zombies without breaking a sweat, to the point that she befriends a couple of them because they're so little threat to her it doesn't occur to her to be scared. The zombies, on the other hand, see her as a horrifying monster and flee from her whenever they can. At least a few zombies regain their sanity out of sheer terror. | |

In Beowulf (2007), Grendel is a hideous deformed troll of a man who haunts the land of Herot, committing brutal violence against merry-makers and revellers. When Beowulf comes to Herot to fight Grendel, the former almost immediately turns the tide on Grendel and gains the advantage while completely naked and unarmed. Scared shitless, Grendel can only shrink in size and try to escape, only for Beowulf to trap him in a large doorway and slam the door on his arm. Repeatedly. Until his arm pops off. | |

Chikn Nuggit: Sody Pop tends to scare Iscream, either because he's a kid or the odd things he does sometimes, like shrinking his face. During their "first" meeting with Iscream, Fwench Fwy brings the usually unflappable Iscream to their knees with just a glare. Cofi scares Iscream too, as in her first encounter with Iscream they're absolutely mortified by her. Though as of now it seems Iscream is just annoyed by her presence. |

Fate/stay night: The Shadow that appears in the Heaven's Feel storyline has such ominous powers that it creeps out even the servants, extremely powerful spirits themselves. However, even this nightmare flees in terror when faced with Gilgamesh. When it actually manages to devour him, it immediately breaks him down to magical energy, fearing that he could take control from the inside. | |

Trevor Henderson's monster Cartoon Cat is only one of many monsters he depicts in his artwork, but according to him, all the others are so terrified of it that they actively avoid the dirt mall it's trapped in "if they know what's good for them". | |

Ahh, Squirrel Girl. Doctor Doom fears nothing! ...Except for her. When she shows up to borrow his time machine, he just lets her have it, with a caption reaffirming that their previous encounter is canon. Deadpool finds her terrifying as well. In fact, she's slowly gaining a reputation as The Dreaded among Marvel's villains. The Titan of Death, Thanos, was once defeated by Squirrel Girl... or, at least, a copy of him as he claims. After it's pointed out that beating a perfect, exacting copy of him is no different than beating him for real, Thanos visibly pales and leaves. |

Paperinik New Adventures has plenty: The Evronians are a whole species of Emotion Eaters who fuel their war machines with emotions and feel little emotions themselves (only the Emperor and the other two-headed Evronians, the Imperial Council, and some mutants have a full emotional spectrum, and the latter will be hunted down and exterminated if discovered), basically look like a beaked and tailless Xenomorph, and are even more terrifying opponents than this description would make anyone think. Yet, even they are scared of a few things: The looks of their own hybrid Super Soldiers created from the Beasts of Ragnar. That said, a baseline Evronian can easily conquer said (minimal) fear and kick their asses thanks to being more competent. Xadhoom. She has the power to fly faster than light, fire energy blasts that can destroy a planet, change her shape to dodge attacks, and immunity to all weapons that haven't been made specifically to kill her, and even those don't work fast enough to actually do more than contain or hurt her, and she wants them dead for destroying her homeworld while she was away obtaining her powers and fooling her and the rest of the government into deactivating their defences to not shoot down their "merchant ships"... And they know it. For obvious reasons, even Lower Caste Evronians (almost completely emotionless) fear her to the point that the threat of being assigned to the Anti-Xadhoom Force is a powerful motivator. For those who have encountered him, Paperinik himself. He's a Terror Hero, but that's not why they fear him, it's because of the merciless beatings he inflicts on them. It's bad enough that a warrior who had once fought him was reduced to terrifying attempts at denial when Paperinik popped out on the Evronian mobile homeworld. In the reboot, Lower Caste Evronians also fear the Guardian Drones, Super Soldiers who can outfight the Evronians and are completely merciless, razing entire planets and destroying their spores (basically, Evronian fetuses). High Caste Evronians such as general Zondag, on the other hand, are too full of complete and utter loathing for the Guardian Drones to fear them. Trauma is an Evronian general who had developed a full emotional spectrum and a sadistic and independent streak even before becoming a Super-Soldier with the strength to casually throw around cars, the toughness to take a rocket to the chest and be none worse for the wear, the ability to instill primal and complete fear in anyone and making them live their worst nightmare before draining it and turning the victims into mindless slaves, and that of imitating voices (excellent for luring unsuspecting heroes into traps). At the end of his second and final battle with Paperinik, he was on the ground in terror and begging for mercy after our hero conquered the fear he was inducing and accidentally reversed his mutation. |

In The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, Megatron is still The Dreaded of many Autobot stories. He's directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of billions of people. And he is absolutely pants-shittingly terrified of mnemosurgeons. Just seeing one in prison (the sullen, depressive, and not particularly intimidating Chromedome) had him calling for guards and threatening that the only way they would read his memories would be after he was dead. The series makes it abundantly clear just how justified his fear is in several story arcs. | |

Oh, and he's actually a burlap sack filled with thousands of nasty bugs. In the climax, it turns out that Oogie himself is scared of just one thing: Jack Skellington. | |
