When the heroes cannot directly challenge the villain or his mooks, they disguise themselves as monsters or build something that's basically a tank with a threatening exterior. Usually relies on intimidation more than any actual weapons. When villains resort to this tactic, it's a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax. A subtrope of Sham Supernatural. Compare and contrast Monster Façade, which is a similarly terrifying act put on by a Gentle Giant or a Reluctant Monster, who would have the strength to actually harm their opponent but prefers not to. See also Weapon for Intimidation. Compare El Cid Ploy, where the nonexistent threat is the heroes' dead or absent leader. |

In the The Adventures of Superman episode "Great Caesar's Ghost!", Perry White starts seeing Caesar's ghost. This turns out to be a trick by a gang of crooks to ruin his credibility as a witness in an upcoming trial. Superman turns the trick around on the gangsters, disguising himself as another criminal who had been killed by the gang, causing them to give up in terror when their bullets apparently just go right through the "ghost". | |

A Bug's Life: The ants build a mechanical bird in an effort to scare away Hopper and his gang of grasshoppers. While the fake bird itself fails to work due to it getting set on fire by accident, the act of its construction allows the ants to realize the grasshoppers aren't as invincible as they seem and finally find the courage to rebel against them. Hopper finding out about the mechanical bird directly contributes to his downfall, as he lets his guard down around a real bird because he thinks it's another fake. | |

In The Unknown Supergirl, Supergirl spots a pack of smugglers escaping from the coastguard, but she cannot let herself be seen. So she rips a sunken ship's figurehead off and waves the dragon-like head and neck out of the water. Frightened, the smugglers turn tail and flee back into the arms of the sea patrol. | |

The Outer Limits (1963) episode "The Architects of Fear" uses a Science Fiction variation of the trope. A group of scientists is convinced that World War III is imminent, so they try to prevent it through a Genghis Gambit that includes faking an Alien Invasion, complete with transforming one of their own into a terrifying fake alien. It doesn't go well. | |

When Bo and Luke were mistakenly declared to have drowned on The Dukes of Hazzard, they faked a haunting by coating the General Lee with glow-in-the-dark paint and having Cooter rig it to run by remote control, using it to intimidate Boss Hogg to prevent him from blaming them for a theft. Subverted in that Boss Hogg isn't fooled for more than a few moments, and immediately suspects Cooter's involvement. | |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: A repeatedly used plot element in lesser Donald Duck comics — a variant involves making some idol worshiped by primitive people appear to speak and tell them to stop roasting the heroes or whatever. The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck from Don Rosa — the first chapter when Scrooge scares the Whiskerville away by making a fake ghost. They were so scared that, years later, all the Whiskervilles have white hair (their first appearance showed them black- and brown-haired, so it wasn't a family trait before that). |

Fables uses a psychological Anti-Hero version when a reporter discovers the Fables' (fairytale characters who are actually real) society, though with the belief that they're vampires. Ultimately they kidnap him and trick him into believing they are indeed vampires who have tasted his blood and will control him into committing suicide along with publishing pictures painting him as a child molester (staged with the help of a 300-year-old Pinocchio) should he ever release his discovery. The reporter gets scared out of his mind and complies, but is ultimately killed a few days later by one of the more evil fables acting on his own. | |

But Monstar is really weak during the battle, having only 20 HP (the boss at the end of the previous chapter had 60) and only hitting 1 HP per attack.

It takes some time to convince them it's a real ghost since Top Cat had previously tried the trick to keep his illegal gambling operation a secret and dressing up as a ghost is the first thing they teach at realtor school and, when they're finally convinced, they flee not in fear of the ghost itself but of how unprofitable the land they want becomes because of it. | |

In Scooby-Doo, though it's often the villain who does this to scare away the Damsel in Distress from a Real Estate claim, etc., the heroes often use this technique as well. Gabe/Toxic Terror from What's New, Scooby-Doo? is a good one. In fact, the next to final scene has Gabe, Shaggy, Scooby-Doo, and the camp kid disguise them as Toxic Terrors and sending Clyde packing. Velma Dinkley, the brains of Mystery Inc. itself, does this in Scooby-Doo in Where’s My Mummy?. Amy Cavenaugh/Amy The Siren from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated is another good one — especially since she got Velma hooked. Later in Mystery Incorporated, the Mystery Inc. gang create the Krampus to distract the real villains from their plan to steal their segments of the season's MacGuffin. |

In Lady Ninja Kaede, Yumeama uses a ninja technique to pose as Koharu's ghost and scare a confession out of Kichiemon. | |

One of the few books Red Sonja ever experienced in-universe was The Tales of Gravaha the Clever, where the heroine dresses a field of cornstalks as an army to intimidate a foe with terrible eyesight. | |

Doctor Who: In "The Girl Who Died", part one of the plan to defeat the Mire involves altering what they see through their video interface so that a ship's figurehead becomes a terrifying sea serpent and so on. Part two involves taking a video of the proud warrior race cowering in fear from obvious puppets, and threatening to effectively upload it to Space YouTube to ruin their reputation. | |

An American Tail: The Giant Mouse of Minsk sees the mice use a giant (well, to them, anyway) mechanical mouse to terrify the cats into leaving them alone. It's double suvberted at the end of the movie when try actually try to use it. The subversion comes from them having to stop the release of the Giant Mouse before it's ready, and soon as they stop it, the mice now have to release it. When they do, it starts falling apart and making horrific mechanical noises. The double subversion comes in the fact that this terrifies the cats even further than the Giant Mouse if it had worked properly, and the cats book it as fast as they can. | |

Land of Oz: Ironically, in The Wizard of Oz, the great and powerful Oz uses a big, scary flaming head to persuade Dorothy and her friends to get the Wicked Witch of the West's broomstick... until Toto pulls the curtain aside, and the Wizard is shown to be much shorter than his façade made him out to be, and when confronted, he confesses that he was just as afraid of the Wicked Witch and it was such demonstrations of power that kept her at bay. Oz does exactly the same thing in the climax of Oz the Great and Powerful to scare off the Wicked Witches. |

Rolli – Amazing Tales: When Rölli and the Forest Fairy discover Seesteinen and Lerkkanen littering and making noise in their forest, they disguise themselves as a giant in a Totem Pole Trench style and attempt to scare the humans away. It fails nearly immediately because the "giant" and its threats provided by Rölli confuse the humans more than scare them, and the quilt worn by the two heroes falls off. However, while Seesteinen and Lerkkanen chase the duo, they run into the Big Rölli who really scares them. | |

Dr. STONE: The kingdom of science must rescue a friend from a jail guarded by the kingdom of might, but can't injure any of the guards or else ruin a possible alliance. Senku builds a functioning tank but replaces the gun with an air cannon that makes a huge sound, causing the guards to run in terror instead of trying to fight. | |

Limbo (2010): Not long into the forest level, you see some more of those dreaded Giant Spider legs poking out from a nearby tree -— but they're a fake. The hostile humans in the area set them up to scare you away. | |

Used occasionally by the IMF in Mission: Impossible. "Banshee" features perhaps the fullest embodiment of the trope as the plan hinges entirely on convincing the villain that he is being stalked by the souls of those he has killed. | |
