A Jack-in-the-box is often a staple of childhood playtime and entertainment. Most times, it can be a fun toy for children to play with, but occasionally, it can also be a form of Nightmare Fuel for some. Either way, you can expect to see Jack-in-the-boxes pop up in media.

In Wizardry 8 "Jack in the Box" is a buildable gadget that acts like a weak fear spell. Or you can put in the same box a demon doll instead and make insanity-inducing variant.

The goblin living in a snuffbox in The Steadfast Tin Soldier by Hans Christian Andersen is often depicted (and sometimes explicitly translated) as a jack-in-the-box.
In the Disney Fantasia 2000 animated adaptation, he becomes an outright villain, and in the end falls in the fireplace instead of the soldier and the ballerina.

In one episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, The Joker freaks out Guy Gardner during a forced death-race using a jack-in-the-box (with his own face, naturally), causing Gardner to lose his concentration and de-materialize his energy-car.

The Joker is the most prominent villain in Batman: Vengeance, so obviously he has these in his arsenal. Unique in that they follow you if you get too close, and they seem to breathe fire. You can take them down with either two regular Batarangs, or one Electric Batarang. You can also get them to follow you into the ugly green water which flows through the Gasworks.

Played with in S.O.B., which has both a giant "toy" jack in the box and a man as a "jack" (or is it "jock"?) Both play major roles in the featured scene in the Show Within a Show, appearing in both G- and R-rated versions.

Hello Puppets!: There is a jack-in-a-box styled after Mortimer. Turning its crank plays a music box tune until... the top panel opens slightly. Scout says that you must have done it wrong - but then Mortimer's head pops out, scaring (and annoying) Scout. On the head's hat is part of the security pin that is needed to proceed.

Mortal Kombat 3: Played for laughs in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (as well as Trilogy), where some of the ninjas' Friendships consist of cranking up jacks-in-the-box for their opponent, which gets scared and runs off. Each jack-in-the-box is appropriate to whichever ninja you use; as such, Reptile's is a snake, and Scorpion's is a skull.

Sometimes while crafting toys, a Sim from The Sims 2 will build a black version of a Jack-in-a-box which, unlike the normal ones, is rather sinister looking. It will scare most of the Sims that play with it, leaving them with a bad memory.

Done in Uzumaki as a part of its spiral motif. A Stalker with a Crush for the protagonist is likened to one because he keeps jumping out at her. He is later taunted by a sinister hallucination of his jack-in-the-box and attempts to prove his love by trying to stop a car with his body. When they check his grave his corpse comes to life and jumps after before its rotted legs break off and he starts bouncing with a suspension spring that had wedged into his midsection.

In Killer Klowns from Outer Space the spawn of the titular Klowns hatch from what appears to be popcorn, and then they grow into voracious baby Klown heads on top of long, spring-looking backbones, giving them a Jack-in-the-Box appearance.

Deltarune: Both Superbosses invoke this, as they embraced their true nature of toys that the player uses for their own entertainment.
When hurt, Jevil has his head knocked back, revealing a neck that is a bouncy metal spring or chain.
Spamton NEO's "Chained Heart" attack involves a big springing heart with his face on it back and forth from the yellow panel on his chest to shoot bullets. Later in the battle, he adds two smaller hearts.

Toy Story had Hand-In-The-Box, a Frankenstein-looking hand attached to the spring of a jack-in-the-box, yet actually turned out to be good and helpful, along with the other mutant toys.

Cul-de-sac had a school jack-in-the-box which, when opened, shot a clown into the ceiling. The class then spent the rest of the day hiding from it under a table.

In King's Quest VII, this is one of the ways Rosella can die. In the tree house in Ooga Booga land, there's a jack-in-the-box that will kill you if you open it.

In the Disney Fantasia 2000 animated adaptation, he becomes an outright villain, and in the end falls in the fireplace instead of the soldier and the ballerina.

A relatively benign example serves as a plot point in the Doctor Who story "Kinda".

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, Maximillion Pegasus summons his Bickuribox, a cackling, vaguely clownlike/Grim Reaper-ish monster jack-in-the-box, to deliver the deathblow to Seto Kaiba's Saggi the Dark Clown. Oh, and did we forget to mention that Bickuribox stores a big scythe in his mouth?

In Jack Yeovil's Drachenfels, one character is murdered and set like this — his bones are removed and the rest of the body is folded in a box with a spring, then sent to a famous spoiled actress.

Jack-in-a-Box, one if the villains in Cool McCool, is a maniacal crook in red-and-yellow jester attire that hides in a jack-in-a-box to scare and attack his victims. Whenever he speaks, his waist bounces up and down and his voice vibrates like a jack-in-a-box spring.

In the Family Guy episode "Killer Queen", Stewie is terrified of the cover to the Queen album "News of the World", a fact that Brian exploits for his own amusement. At one point, Stewie finds a jack-in-the-box in his room, and very cautiously turns the crank, expecting the worst-only to have a regular little jester pop out. Stevie is relieved- until he turns around, and sees the entire wall has been painted to look like the album.

One of the most terrifying sequences in the 2015 comedy-horror film Krampus involves a Jack-in-the-Box monster called Der Klown, a massive snake like figure with an unhinged, split jaw, which enables him to swallow people whole.

One of these is used at the very beginning of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga by Cackletta and Fawful to steal Princess Peach's voice, spraying her with a strange gas that is then sucked in by Fawful's vacuum helmet to do so. If one looks closely, it can be seen that the Jack-in-the-box resembles Cackletta herself.
