One of the standard symptoms of insanity as it is portrayed in television and film media is paranoia accompanied by graphomania, usually expressed by writing on walls, tables, body parts, etc. It can be the same phrase written dozens of times, or an elaborate theory detailing a supposed conspiracy. Confessions, mathematical equations, rants, and screeds are also popular. These can be supplemented with pictures, newspaper articles, official documents, etc. Usually, a character will find some room in their environment upon which to fully express the terms of their obsession. And don't expect these characters to be deterred by the fact that they Couldn't Find a Pen; they'll write with their own blood if they have to. Characters who display this kind of behavior are not always dangerous or even fully insane, but they are always obsessed. A detective/doctor/family member can stumble across rooms full of these kinds of paranoid obsessive ramblings and realize that they are Alone with the Psycho. It's not unusual for this moment of discovery to be quickly followed by an attempt on the discoverer's life by the owner of the room. These rooms can also be susceptible to cases of vanishings as well. (Curse you, Pine Sol!) It should be noted that a character doesn't have to cover the walls with writing to make this an effective trope. A neatly typed ream of crisp white paper reading "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" will work just as well. If the Room Full of Crazy is specific enough, for example, only part of a wall is covered with photos of the same subject, it may be a Stalker Shrine. A Shrine to Self may likewise double as a Room Full Of Crazy for Omnicidal Maniacs and the like. If the room is used for plotting a conspiracy theory, it's a String Theory. The Black Bug Room is the mental version of this. Compare Mess of Woe. Not to be confused with a Wall of Text, which is about something else entirely. The Big Board is the non-insane version of this. Has nothing to do with the level of insanity present in The Room (2003). |

In Unbreakable, Bruce Willis' character finds out the truth about his Broken Pedestal mentor when he has a psychic flash, then looks around at the room they're standing in and sees newspaper stories about, and plans for, countless disasters are plastering the walls around them. Nothing like finding out someone you trust is a Devil in Plain Sight. | |

In Sherlock Holmes (2009), Holmes gets one of these when he's stuck on solving the case. He also comes across Lord Blackwood's police cell which is covered in occult scribblings (given Blackwood's M.O., this was likely done deliberately to freak people out). | |

Ray Finkle's room in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, covered with scrawls of "LACES OUT" and "DIE DAN DIE", left Ace (and the audience) in no doubt that Finkle lost his mind following the disastrous missed field goal that cost the Dolphins the Super Bowl and that he's got some rather ugly designs on Dan Marino, whom he blames for the whole thing. Ace would later say of the room, "Cozy, if you're Hannibal Lecter." It's a nested example too; his parents' house is covered in graffiti degrading and vilifying him. | |

The Simpsons: Double subverted in the "Treehouse of Horror V" story "The Shinning", parodying The Shining. In the original, Jack at one point had typed an entire pack of sheets with "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" arranged like it was actual text. In "The Shinning", seeking to understand Homer's newfound madness, Marge walks up to a typewriter he's been using and pulls out his paper, which has a single phrase typed on it; "Feelin' fine." After breathing a sigh of relief, a lightning strike illuminates the room, which is covered with scrawls of "No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy." Marge is less encouraged: "The Bob Next Door": The words "Bart Simpson will die" are written all over Sideshow Bob's prison cell. This is actually a subversion, because it was meant as a warning from the guy who had Bob's face at the time. It's lampshaded by Marge when she points out that his choice of words left a lot up to interpretation. Played straight with the inside of Bob-in-disguise's bedroom, which is covered with stabbed photos of Bart with "KILL" written on them, along with one photo of Krusty and a note about buying milk. In "Who Shot Mr. Burns (Part One)", Homer is frustrated that Mr. Burns can never remember his name, so he sneaks into Mr. Burns' office and spray-paints "I Am Homer Simpson" all over the walls. After Burns asks "Who the devil are you?" when he catches him, Homer loses his temper and shakes him shouting "Homer Simpson! My name is Homer Simpson!" before security guards drag him out. |

Parodied in one of Arby 'n' the Chief's "Bytes," when Arbiter wants to know why Master Chief has locked himself in Jon's Bathroom for 4 days straight. Upon getting into the Bathroom when Chief's asleep, Arbiter finds out that Chief, a nasty, obnoxious, sexist, religiously devoted fanboy of anything and everything related to Halo, has become a brony. At first Arbiter find Chief's hypocrisy funny, until he notices all the MLP-related pics Chief plastered all over the bathroom, and even a (poorly) handcrafted sexdoll of Fluttershy, is what creeps him out to the fullest. The trope then gets subverted when Chief finds Arbiter snooping and seemingly attempts to kill for it, ONLY to then sit Arbiter down and have him watch the show himself. | |

In The Girl from the Well, Tark and Kagura find a room full of crazy in Aitou village in The Suffering. Yukiko Uchiyama's ghost, driven mad by death, has scrawled phrases in blood on the walls of her house: "Don't drink the tea", "Beware the beautiful death", and "The monsters are here". Though Tark initially ignores it as the crazed ramblings of a deranged spirit, he later realizes what Yukiko meant: she was given poisoned tea containing Belladonna, "the beautiful death". | |

In Batman Forever, Edward Nygma has at least one picture of Bruce Wayne in his office (which is really a cubicle that he put glass walls around to keep the other workers out) and his home is filled with yet more pictures and newspaper clippings of the same. As The Riddler, he starts sending crazy riddles to Bruce's home and office made out of newspaper clippings. He thinks Bruce Wayne is the only man who can understand his genius- when Bruce brushes him off, he snaps, murders his supervisor (after using his device on him, unintentionally stealing his brainwaves to make himself smarter). | |

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Max Dillon has his own stalker room of Spider-Man, complete with photos and newspaper clippings, as well as a mirror next to one photo so he can pretend that he is Spidey's secret identity, because of a crippling inferiority complex and nobody noticing him (his own mother forgets when it's his birthday). When it so happens that one day Spider-Man saves his life and calls him "my eyes and ears" after he calls himself a nobody, he gets overconfident and tries to fix dangerous electrical equipment in Oscorp labs by himself, leading to the accident that turns him into Electro. When Spidey meets him again, and the crowd and media starts siding with him over Max, he thinks Spidey set him up and goes on a rampage. Peter Parker's own room takes on some attributes of this trope as he fills a wall with clippings, notes, annotated maps, and the like in his effort to figure out what really happened to his father; Aunt May is concerned when she notices it. |

Subverted in Howard Buten's When I Was Five I Killed Myself (Burt in its French publication). Burt's psychologist's thinks that Burt's obsessive scribbling on the walls of the isolation room are this trope... but only because he never bothers to read it. What appears to be a Room Full of Crazy is actually a straightforward account of the experiences that led Burt to the mental hospital, which he has been unable to speak aloud. | |

At The Food Court: After Ash lost his mind after suffering a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown courtesy of Team Rocket, he begins to cover every square inch of his bedroom walls with Pokemon League posters, and every human in the photos is either Brock or Misty, showing that he still remembers them despite his massive brain damage. And the floor is full of boxes overflowing with Pokemon plushies, which Ash thinks are real Pokemon. The author even calls it a Room Full of Crazy in the comments—and says that this is the best-case scenario—if nothing was in his room, that would imply that his personality and memories were completely gone. | |

Memento features a much more portable and practical version of this in the form of Leonard's tattoos. Even worse, but seemingly more innocent: "Remember Sammy Jenkis." This is Leonard's way of using his own condition against himself, to continue perpetuating the lie that is Sammy Jenkis as a existing person. By putting it on his hand, he ensures he'll look at it every so often. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: A subtle use of this trope is Doctor Ritsuko Akagi, NERV's resident sexy scientist. At first her tendency to leave post-it notes all over her cubicle and the MAGI computer makes Ritsuko seem like she's just a workaholic with a liking for cats, but in the second half of the series we realise she's seriously disturbed. Her mother, Naoko, is almost exactly the same way. When they have to get inside the Caspar core, its entire inside is covered with post-its, with almost no space left free. At least one reads "Ikari! YOU JERK!" Rei's original room in Central Dogma might also count: there are various terms related to quantum physics written onto the walls. It also happens to have the exact same layout as her current apartment's living room. |

Discworld: In Thief of Time, the idea for the "glass clock" comes to Jeremy Clockson (who is not so much crazy as so sane he wraps back around to crazy) in a dream, and he's forced to write down the plans on the wall of his bedroom before he can forget them. While in Men at Arms, Detritus the troll is trapped in a freezer house, and his silicon brain becomes super-cooled. He begins to puzzle out the nature of the universe through mathematics, writing his equations in the ice. When rescued, he can't remember what it was about, and his dwarf partner gets just enough time looking at the work before it melts to know it would take a very long time to figure it out. Though it was more tragic than crazy; the writing is described as a thing of beauty, pure understanding of mathematics itself. In Moving Pictures, Dibbler wakes up in the middle of the night with the idea for "Blown Away" and, after a moment of discovering that he hasn't got any paper, writes the script on his bedsheets. This is playing the trope entirely straight, since the ideas for the moving pictures come from the Discworld's own set of Eldritch Abominations. Methodia Rascal, the Mad Artist whose masterpiece was stolen in Thud!, lived in fear of either being attacked by, or transformed into, a chicken. After his death, his landlady found sacks note Sacks labeled "Chicken Feed", mind full of notes he'd scribbled to himself, most of which read: "You are not a chicken". |

Played with in In the Mouth of Madness where Trent is locked up in the loony bin, drawing crucifixes all over the walls and himself because he's afraid of Lovecraftian monsters destroying the world. The twist is, of course, Trent realises he is perfectly sane once he comes to terms with really being a character in a book and that the monsters really are coming and makes a room full of crazy so as to convince the authorities to keep him in the relative safety of the sanitarium. | |

In The Dead Center, Dr. Graham spends the movie tracking down the missing body of a John Doe, and eventually finds his parents. He's shown what John was working on the week before he ended up in the hospital: a big board with newspaper clippings and copies of photographs of genocides and mass death events from all over the world, and entries from the Covenant of Death, translated from Vedic Sanskrit. John also made another spiral pattern on the floor nearby. | |

In Chapter 407 of Hayate the Combat Butler, the SC Rangers are filming a video and need feel the need for something more "shocking". So Izumi suggests they go film Kotetsu's room. Given that Kotetsu is an avid photographer and Hayate's self-professed stalker, it comes as no surprise that the entire room is literally covered in various-sized pictures of Hayate. What really sets the creepiness factor up a few more notches is the fact there there is literally nothing else in it except his bed. Risa and Miki definitely find it creepy. Izumi finds it "pure love". | |

An odd version of this trope turns up in Metropolis (2001). Tima, after being taken into the custody of the man who had her created in the first place and being denied access to Kenichi, the boy on whom she'd imprinted, proceeds to scrawl his name all over the walls and windows of the luxury bedroom she was given. This was especially powerful, given how innocent Tima's character is, and scares the maid that brings her a change of clothes witless. All the same though, it was more Tima sulking than anything truly horrific or psychological. | |

The Question from Justice League Unlimited. His grand-unification conspiracy theory diagram covers the walls of his room on the Watchtower. Several members of the League think he's got mental issues, but it's subverted in that he's often right about parts of the conspiracy. It could also be he's pulling off a bit of Obfuscating Insanity. At least, we hope so. When he suffers Sanity Slippage in 'Question Authority', he actually breaks one of the diagrams out of anger about a chain of events (Cadmus, Luthor and their influence on the League) he thinks will end the world. When Batman tells the others in the meeting room that he asked The Question to look into something almost all of them audibly groan, he tells them that he understands their reservations but reminds them that nobody else is as talented at finding obscure connections and they are sorely in need of clues as to what Cadmus is planning. |

One of the Block's inmates in Sentinels of the Multiverse has covered his cell in scribbled messages. Some of them are references to the then-approaching OblivAeon event - "THE CHILD IS THE CENTER", "ALL WILL END AS ONE", "THE FUTURE IS GONE", "EACH WILL FALL"note OblivAeon's Evil Plan is to force the various timelines to become too similar through the use of fixed points like Vanessa Long, "the child", gaining powers, which causes them to merge and destroy each other. Others are just standard crazy-talk: "CAN'T FEEL MY EYES", "NO NO NO NO NO", a crude scrawl of Legacy's symbol, etc. | |

This is actually a fairly important plot point in Homestuck. The suppressed parts of John's, Rose's, and Dave's subconscious are expressed by writing on their walls while sleepwalking. This alone wouldn't necessarily qualify for crazy, until you realize that none of them could actually SEE their own graffiti. Jade doesn't have this problem because she's already aware of her Dream self in Prospit. The same thing happened in the trolls' session with Tavros, Aradia, Vriska, Terezi, and Gamzee. Massive bonus Nightmare Fuel points to the last one for filling an entire book with "honk HONK" written in all the other trolls' blood. | |

In [REC], the closest anyone gets to an explanation is a Room Full of Crazy covered in newspaper clips about a "Ninha Medeiros" who seems to have been infected or possessed, a recorder that plays back some ramblings about a virus, an infected hyper-aggressive little boy and, finally, the Ninha herself that kills the last two survivors. | |

Always Visible: By genre standards, there's nothing all that special about the room Galbraith rents at the "Stait of Snow Lake", but given that there are no chairs, a bed infested with bugs, and a broken lock, it might as well be that. | |

Erick Rowan has a YouTube channel with videos of him in a shed along these lines — its walls are covered in newspaper clippings and variously-painted/customized sheep masks, not to mention what appear to be locks of human hair. The centerpiece: a long-haired Creepy Doll wearing a sheep mask. | |

Red's death room in Ruby Quest consists of Red himself impaled on a spike in the middle of the room, with NEVER CATCH ME NEVERNEVERNEVER written all over the walls in his own blood. It then explodes. And that's downright mundane compared to what you find in cold storage. | |

Deborah Blau does this in a bathroom in Joanne Greenberg's I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. She writes the words for "extreme loneliness" and "extreme anger" over and over in her personal language. It's a very important moment to her, to her psychiatrist it's a good sign, but to the orderlies she's just another lunatic. She overhears them making fun of her later. | |

Downplayed in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: Shirogane's study room, while not having stuff written directly on the walls, is covered with "motivational" pieces of paper with things like "everything else is meaningless", "fuck sleep", and "carelessness is the enemy" written on them taped to the walls. Everyone else who sees the room finds it incredibly disturbing, but hilariously, Shirogane himself believes this is completely normal. | |

The film adaptation of The Silence of the Lambs: Gumb's house: He's got pictures of butterflies all over the place, swastika quilts, and dead people. He also has a collection of newspaper clippings regarding his exploits, plastered on the inside of the door of a large cabinet. Directly in front of it is his in-progress woman suit, which is substantially freakier. Jack Crawford, Clarice's superior and the man leading the hunt for Gumb, has his office adorned with the same newspaper clippings, along with photos of the bodies that washed up on the riverbank. Lecter's cell is a more toned-down version, as it's just plastered with crayon and charcoal drawings of Renaissance architecture. Guy has a lot of time on his hands, and likes to draw. |

Batman: The Joker does this occasionally. One story showed the walls of his cell covered with smiley faces, caricatures of Batman and Robin and the full lyrics to the Batman version of Jingle Bells. The speaker on the wall with which the doctors communicated with him was labeled "THEM". In another story, Batman managed to find a clue in the Joker's scribbles. In one comic, Two-Face is shown to have news clippings covering one of his walls. He says jokingly that compared to some of his other obsessions, that one is only about a 2 on the Richter scale. |

Schwartzwald in The Big O has apparently discovered the secret behind Paradigm City's mass amnesia, and what happened to the rest of the world forty years ago. His reaction is to wrap himself up in bandages, murder aristocrats via arson, commandeer a giant robot (and verbally harass its new pilot after his death), and leave typewriters - sometimes dozens of them - wherever he goes, filled with rantings to curse the foolish and blind residents of the city. Depending on interpretation, the bit about the giant robot may not count; it's well-established and even invoked by another character at this point that the mecha of The Big O partially think for themselves and have a brotherhood-like preference for their pilots, so Schwartzwald laughing in Alan Gabriel's face for trying to pilot Big Duo could be the most logical thing he ever says. | |

In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "The Clock King", this trope is exploited: Batman tracks Temple Fugate, alias the Clock King, to an Abandoned Warehouse, the Time All Watch Company. There, Batman finds a room full of clocks, all of them displaying a different hour, data about the Gotham Watch Tower, the subway, and a poster of Mayor Hill’s Malevolent Mugshot with Mustache Vandalism with the legend "Time for a change". All of those are relevant to the plot, but it turns out Fugate isn't crazy, they're all clues to lure Batman into a Death Trap by making him think Fugate isn't as mentally sharp as he really turns out to be. | |

When rescued, he can't remember what it was about, and his dwarf partner gets just enough time looking at the work before it melts to know it would take a very long time to figure it out. Though it was more tragic than crazy; the writing is described as a thing of beauty, pure understanding of mathematics itself. | |

In Pretty Girls, Sam Carrol made up a wall with all sorts of ramblings and notes that criss-crossed and were supposed to be clues that may indicate where his missing daughter had disappeared to. He knew how crazy it was and eventually decided to move that wall of crazy into his bedroom, so that his other daughters won't see it anymore when visiting. | |

Nightside: Suzie Shooter's residence resembles this trope, not because she's nuts, but because she doesn't have a desk and honestly couldn't care less whether or not it's appropriate to write on walls. More of a Room Full Of Doesn't Give A Shit, really. Any room that Madman remains in for long becomes a literal Room Full of Crazy. Writing on the walls is optional, as it's hard to write on a surface that's bleeding, shaking violently, and/or telling you raunchy knock-knock jokes (possibly all three). |

In one Nukees storyline, the protagonists are trying to find a kidnapped Danny and eventually track him down to a house whose walls are completely covered with equations. They know he's still in there because the equations keep changing as they return to previous rooms. It turns out that a completely different crazy person is being kept there, though. Later referenced when King Luca finds that every surface in Danny's office is made of whiteboard, including the desk, so that he has a place to write. | |

Gun Machine. During an investigation, a police detective finds a New York apartment, where guns are mounted to every surface. In patterns of gear-like circles, waves, paint-speckled row of guns, wall to wall, floors and ceiling.

There are shelves filled with broken toys and dolls (all of them move and make noises), walls coated with photos of himself and his friend Tokita (with Tokitas's face cut out) and little lit-up signs that say "help me."

Spider-Man: Cletus Kasady did this when he was told Spider-Man's identity - he wrote Peter Parker's name on the walls hundreds of times and chanted to himself "I know a secret..." The knowledge was quickly wiped from his mind, but they never showed what happened to the writing on the wall. Presumably Ravencroft's guards and doctors assumed Carnage was obsessing over the guy who took pictures of him getting beat up. | |

One of the creepier examples appears in Se7en. As if the black painted windows and red neon cross in his bedroom weren't enough to convince us that John Doe is crazy, the religious icons, drawings and obsessively detailed notebooks he leaves behind leave us in no doubt. (John Doe is also fond of leaving obsessive inscriptions near his murder victims as well.) The most disturbing part of this is all the books were filled with genuine crazy. A guy was hired specifically for the movie and spent two weks scribbling up the texts. | |

Over in a corner, he finds the words "IT'S ALL HIS FAULT" scrawled all over the walls and dozens of photos and magazine covers of Booster himself. It later turns out that Rip was absolutely sane and absolutely right, but the photos weren't of Booster — they were of his (possessed) Robot Buddy Skeets. | |

A fairly common sign of Chaos-inspired madness in Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, usually written in blood (which may or may not be the writer's own), and usually some sort of Brown Note. One of the Ravenor novels had madness-induced frescoes spanning through several apartments, getting more elaborate and detailed as they went. The last one depicted two of Ravenor's companions encountering the painter even as he finished the fresco. One footnote in a Warriors of Chaos army book describes a Nurgle-tainted landowner who locked himself in his room and inscribed verses of reverence to the Plague Lord all over his study, in his own blood and filth of course. "The mewling wreck that was found gibbered and moaned ceaselessly, crippled in mind and mutilated in body. He cradled and caressed many self-inflicted wounds, but none dared to dwell upon the cause of his missing hands." Note that the type of crazy varies by Chaos deity. When Commissar Ciaphas Cain breaks into a Slaaneshi cult's retreat in The Traitor's Hand, the soldiers with him are hypnotized by the insane yet entrancing erotic murals all over the walls. In Xenology, the Adeptus Mechanicus Magos Genator studying the aliens held inside his spiral-shaped research facility goes steadily mad. Halfway through his final report, while analyzing a Necron artifact, he abruptly loses it, writing "The metal lives. The metal lives. The Metal Lives. THE METAL LIVES. THE METAL LIVES" over and over again, first in ink and then in his own blood, as he begins cutting spiral shapes into his flesh... The Liber Chaotica series offer handheld examples. Author Richter Kless is an Imperial scholar in the Warhammer world writing a definitive compendium on the forces of Chaos, and naturally goes insane over the course of his work. The books become filled with his comments in the margins, mad sketches, attempts to find numerical codes in the passages, his conversations with a dead informant, and mirrored or backwards text that is subtly different from the source. He also begins having visions of a grim, dark future filled with impossible war machines and inhuman soldiers... |

After Macleah gives him a drawing pad and some crayons, he fills in the hands, writes "Yes" over and over again, and makes drawings of things like a piano and stairs leading up to a cellar door, which turn out to be objects in the house where Jenny and the kidnapped girl are being held. | |

The Southern Reach Trilogy: When Control is appointed director of the Southern Reach, he finds that the previous director's office includes a door that opens onto a wall covered in scrawled writing: Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead to share with the worms that gather in the darkness and surround the world with the power of their lives while from the dim-lit halls of other places forms that never could be writhe for the impatience of the few who have never seen or been seen... Additionally, he finds a mysterious plant that looks like it's taking nourishment from a dead mouse and an old cellphone in the director's desk, and a huge pile of notes taken on all kinds of surfaces all over and between the books in the former director's office. Later in Authority, Control discovers that one of the scientists has created an even more elaborate room full of crazy in a ceiling crawlspace, featuring oil paintings of animals and creatures from Area X with printed copies of human faces taped to them. A sleeping bag and other things indicate said scientist actually lives there. |

Twilight spends an entire weekend locked in her library preparing for some unspecific disaster by "monitoring everything". When Pinkie checks up on her, she finds her among blackboards and posters covered in scribbles and equations, as well as enough lab equipment to give a scientist a heart attack. Turns out there was no disaster at all. | |

In Moving Pictures, Dibbler wakes up in the middle of the night with the idea for "Blown Away" and, after a moment of discovering that he hasn't got any paper, writes the script on his bedsheets. This is playing the trope entirely straight, since the ideas for the moving pictures come from the Discworld's own set of Eldritch Abominations. | |

The eponymous work of The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, written by a former criminal genius gone mad who is unresponsive except for his hand, which keeps writing whether he has pen and paper or not. Seemingly scrawled gibberish, the pages assembled in the right order form a manual to bring about the "Reign of Crime", and meaningless but terrifying crimes around Germany demonstrate that someone's read the manual... | |

In the first Sailor Moon anime, whenever Hotaru Tomoe's Mistress Nine personality manifested herself before definitely taking over her, she would be seen in a huge darkened room with no visible windows (the light inside comes from many lamps instead), sitting on a very detailed chair similar on a throne, and with many dolls and stuffed animals (which MN!Hotaru would occasionally rip in half with her bare hands) at her feet. | |

The Sandman (1989): Morpheus punishes author Richard Madoc (who had kidnapped a Muse and was raping her for inspiration) by giving him an unstoppable barrage of ideas. When this happens while he has no writing materials on hand, Madoc transcribes the ideas on the sidewalk with his fingernails and blood. Another schizophrenic man (who is recruited to rescue Delirium) has a compulsion to write warnings on any available wall ("DO NOT ERASE THIS MESSAGE!"). | |

Kurtz, the Company trader who the narrator, Marlow, has been sent down the Congo to find, has written a treatise for the 'International Society for the Suppression of Savage Customs'. It opens with the phrase that Europeans must appear to the Congolese as 'supernatural beings'. It ends quite differently... Exterminate all the Brutes! It is later revealed that this treatise is sought after by a journalist intent of publishing it, and who describes Kurtz as a potential political candidate for 'any party', as 'an extremist'. | |

In Mage: The Awakening, there is an Abyssal intrusion that exists as a meme. When a scientist - usually a physicist or a pure-mathematician - contracts this meme-virus, he begin to write natural laws of the Abyss onto every surface he can find. The result is usually this trope and the scientist's death by ignoring his own need for food. Oh, and you can catch this meme simply by looking at the writings. | |

Fantastic Four: During Dwayne McDuffie's the team discovers a secret lab that only Reed Richards has ever entered before, every surface covered wall to ceiling with various equations. This lab, it turns out, is where Reed Richards had started what he called "Plan #101", a plan to solve all the problems in the world. Among them some of the guidelines he was following during the Civil War. Johnny points this out when they first see the room: "Dude, if you'd asked me, I'd buy you a notepad." Ultimately subverted during the "Fix Everything" arc by Johnathan Hickman; it's revealed that the surfaces of Reed's secret lab act like output devices, and Reed can erase and rewrite as needed. When he encounters a legion of Reed Richards counterparts from alternate universes who sacrificed their families to solve the world's problems, he chooses to put his family above "Plan 101" and orders his computer to erase his notes. The next frame shows the lab, with all surfaces clean and pristine. |

In Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, Sam makes his college dorm room into one of these, with everything covered in Cybertronian symbols. Although he's not quite insane, he just has a map to a sun-destroying energon source implanted in his brain by the Allspark. | |

In Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony the demon Leon Abbot is said to have spent his much of his brief foray out of Limbo alternately ranting about how he was going to Kill All Humans and writing seemingly random equations and incantations on his cell walls. It's later implied that the writing was actually the warlock Abbot had merged with calculating the effects Abbot's interference had had upon the spell to seal their home island into Limbo. | |

In Child's Play (1988), Karen goes to Chucky's apartment (from when he was alive) and finds the whole place to be like this. There are a bunch of odd and disturbing murals on all of the walls depicting things like Human Sacrifice, as well as big red letters reading "OH THANK YOU MIGHTY DAMBALLA FOR LIFE AFTER DEATH". | |

Throughout the Saw franchise, Diabolical Mastermind Jigsaw has had several nasty-looking headquarters. In the first movie, David Tapp, a detective who has gone more than a little crazy with tracking him, also has a room covered with thousands of newspaper clippings about the Jigsaw case. | |
