The Big Bad or some other Villain, having made a threat against The Hero and/or someone the Hero loves, produces proof they can actually find the intended victim(s) and carry it out. Recent photographs of the target(s) at home or in other familiar settings are probably the most popular form of evidence; the recipient(s) will recognize background items, clothing, hairstyle and other details as familiar and recent, and the very existence of the photos implies someone got physically close enough to take them. On the other hand, the villain may simply say or write the home address, phone number, school name, or other recent identifying information ("Lovely blue leotard your daughter wore to her dance class today. It matches her eyes."). They may even produce some recognizable item belonging to the target(s), thereby proving they've been there once already and can return.
Since executing this trope involves inspiring feelings of fear and intimidation, it is most often performed by a villain or at their command. If a heroic character does this, chances are that hero already operates outside ordinary rules (think superhero), or is angry or desperate enough to act without the aid of law enforcement. When invoked against someone with a secret identity, the trope I Know You Know I Know will play a part in the threat. Implying or announcing that they know such a secret is another means of making the threat hit close to home, and may even imply that the opponent has some way to deal with the target's special abilities (If the villain knows Clark Kent is really Superman, maybe they know about that kryptonite problem too).
While this may be done in conjunction with an Implied Death Threat, it usually appears with more direct threats (of the Shame If Something Happened variety) or explicit threats, so as to underline both the intent and the ability to follow through. If it is not given in person or via telephone, such proof will likely accompany an anonymous threatening letter. Trespassing to Talk is an excellent way to demonstrate this.
There is often some overlap with Shame If Something Happened, as this trope can serve to bolster the threat and encourage the target's cooperation. In those cases, there's usually something the target can do or some price that can be paid to buy off the threat, if only for a short time. If this trope is used alone, often there is no price that can be paid; the threat is coming and the purpose is more to terrify beforehand rather than trying to get the target to do (or stop doing) something.
Compare and contrast The Call Knows Where You Live. Where this trope is about demonstrating the ability to strike (i.e. the baddies have done their homework and show their work to prove it), The Call Knows Where You Live is about going ahead and actually doing it (possibly without any warning). Either way, the situation demands some kind of response. It's also possible to do this trope first, then go ahead and pull the other one (by carrying out a threat). If the villain just wants to get the drop on the hero, they'll just act (TCKWYL); if the villain wants to play with the hero's head first, they'll do this first (or something like it).

In Night Watch Carcer tells Vimes: "I can see your house from here!" shortly before they're blasted back in time. When they're sent back, Vimes immediately posts extra guards around his house. In the end, Carcer never actually goes near the place; he was just taunting Vimes.

Happens several times in Thud!:
The dwarves send a suicide squad to assassinate his family... causing him to pursue their sorry asses all the way into Koom Valley, and filling him with so much primal vengeful rage, he almost murders them.
Two troll enforcers for The Breccia attempt to intimidate Vimes by saying this...right in the middle of the Watch house while surrounded by officers. With the Breccia's boss having explicitly said that such threats were not to happen. Chrysoprase, the aforementioned boss, later apologizes, assures Vimes the enforcers have been dealt with appropriately, and offers him a new rockery for his troubles (held in a box that couldn't possibly contain an entire troll).
The Low King of the Dwarves almost pulls this on Vimes in a moment of anger before catching himself and changing it to diplomatically mentioning how nice it would be to meet his family. Vimes isn't fooled, but lets it slide.

A particularly repugnant SVU criminal very casually asks Stabler, "How are Kathy and the kids?" after spending weeks stalking Olivia, knowing not only where she lives, but where she shops/works out/does her laundry, etc., and terrorizing yet another potential victim the same way.

Bleach:
When Grimmjow and his Fracción invade Karakura Town on their own, the first thing they do is use Pesquisa to track down humans with potent Reiatsu. They end up targeting Ichigo and all of his friends while they are still within their own homes, upon which they scatter to kill them all.
Aizen implies that he knows where Ichigo lives (and he probably wasn't bluffing) when he states that he intended to draw Ichigo's attention by stringing the corpses of his little sisters outside Karakura Town.
At the start of the Thousand Year Blood War arc, Ichigo is visited by an Arrancar, who introduces himself while standing on Ichigo's bed as everyone is still processing the fact that they couldn't feel his presence a second ago. Ichigo promptly kicks him out of his house before they start fighting.

A rare heroic instance in The Queen's Thief, where the protagonist is the one saying (or demonstrating) it. When he visits Attolia and Sounis, rulers of Eddis' rival nations, Eugenides moves things around to show he's been there. For Attolia, he sometimes left gifts. In the final book, his threats against the Braeling king include several of the man's personal effects, graphically illustrating that he's been in there too.

Justice League:
Inverted by Batman in "The Enemy Below" when he threatens Deadshot into revealing who hired him to try and assassinate Aquaman. We don't actually hear what he said, but according to Kevin Conroy it was "I know where you live, Floyd."
In "Ultimatum", Amanda Waller puts Batman on notice by calling him "rich boy".

In After the Sunset, local gangster Moret tries to recruit legendary jewel thief Max into doing a job for him. When Max refuses, claiming that he's retired from that life, Moret seems to accept this, but then casually mentions, "I love the view of the water from your house." Max corrects him, saying, "You mean the view of my house from the water". (although this isn't much better, as it still indicates this trope). Moret assures him that the first statement was correct, effectively warning Max not to cross him.

Best Seller. Detective Meechum has his life saved by a Mysterious Protector, and is not happy when his daughter tells him the same man gave her a lift home, convincing her he was a friend of her father with his intimate knowledge of their family. Later on the Big Bad has two policeman detain the daughter and bring her to him — not as a hostage, but to demonstrate his power and influence if Meechum doesn't cooperate.

unOrdinary:
Volcan, who has been killing much more powerful and experienced heroes, is shown to have figured out Remi, Isen and Blyke's identities from their one encounter and has printed up sheets including their home addresses, family members and other information. She's still targeting them even though they've quit going out as costumed heroes.
Spectre is shown to be gathering information on Remi, Blyke and Arlo and are implied to be interested in John too. They have an agent living as a mole in the same dorms as Blyke, Arlo and John so Sera is understandably horrified at the revelation.

Alya decides to fight back and knock down Shadowmoth long enough and pull off the Butterfly Miraculous before being captured by Sentimonster, while Nino streams the fight on the Ladyblog to inform the other heroes.

SCP Foundation: SCP-2835 is a "lost episode" of the No Budget Sam Singer cartoon The Adventures of Paddy the Pelican, which involves Paddy randomly stopping the cartoon to ask the viewers what they think and getting irrationally angry if they aren't enjoying it, going into a rant that involves heavy use of the phrase "Reap what you sow!" Testing on the SCP was discontinued after Paddy seemed to know where the test subject lived and threatened their family.

Discworld:
Villains tend to try this on Sam Vimes. Always a terrible idea, since he's a Papa Wolf and that acts as a Berserk Button for him.
In Night Watch Carcer tells Vimes: "I can see your house from here!" shortly before they're blasted back in time. When they're sent back, Vimes immediately posts extra guards around his house. In the end, Carcer never actually goes near the place; he was just taunting Vimes.
Happens several times in Thud!:
The dwarves send a suicide squad to assassinate his family... causing him to pursue their sorry asses all the way into Koom Valley, and filling him with so much primal vengeful rage, he almost murders them.
Two troll enforcers for The Breccia attempt to intimidate Vimes by saying this...right in the middle of the Watch house while surrounded by officers. With the Breccia's boss having explicitly said that such threats were not to happen. Chrysoprase, the aforementioned boss, later apologizes, assures Vimes the enforcers have been dealt with appropriately, and offers him a new rockery for his troubles (held in a box that couldn't possibly contain an entire troll).
The Low King of the Dwarves almost pulls this on Vimes in a moment of anger before catching himself and changing it to diplomatically mentioning how nice it would be to meet his family. Vimes isn't fooled, but lets it slide.
In Guards! Guards! it's implied that Lord Vetinari got the Thieves' Guild leaders to agree to his plan to lower the crime rate by legitimizing them, by quietly suggesting that he knew where their loved ones lived. Especially since legitimization meant they now had a fixed abode.
In Making Money, Moist von Lipwig has just gotten out of a meeting with Cosmo Lavish, and contemplates his rather poor attempt at this trope (which, in Cosmo's mind, was actually done on purpose to make Moist underestimate him).
In Jingo, Vimes finds a statue of a long past conquerer, complete with a Pretentious Latin Motto. Vimes starts to translate it, then stops and asks in surprise what kinda of motto "I can see your house from here" is supposed to be. The man Vimes is scheduled to meet pops out and notes that it was supposed to be a combination of a Badass Boast and an Implied Death Threat.

In Making Money, Moist von Lipwig has just gotten out of a meeting with Cosmo Lavish, and contemplates his rather poor attempt at this trope (which, in Cosmo's mind, was actually done on purpose to make Moist underestimate him).

Donald Duck is extremely protective of both his superhero identity and the secret agent one because he's perfectly aware this would eventually happen if one or both got out. Hence why as Paperinik he's extremely brutal to anyone who try and find out or even lies about knowing (as in, "setting a lynching mob on the culprit" brutal, as he did to some guys who were endangering his identity and then to the Beagle Boys for lying they knew) and always carries memory-erasing candies that he'll feed, by force if necessary, to anyone who discovers him. Anyone, as Daisy and his nephews could testify if he hadn't slipped them those candies...

Persona 4: Yu Narukami ends up receiving a letter from the Killer, saying that he'll hurt those close to him if he continues the investigation.

Batman: Arkham Series:
Victor Zsasz subjects the psychiatrist interviewing him in one of the audio diaries in Batman: Arkham Asylum, cheerfully waxing lyrical about the shrink's apartment in minute, agonizing detail, down to exactly how many locks are on her door and how many cats she owns. The psychiatrist is removed from his case and security is multiplied on him...this being Arkham Asylum, it does absolutely dink: he escapes and proves he's as good as his word, only timely intervention by Batman saving the psychiatrist's life.
Happens near the end of Batman: Arkham Origins.

Bruce Wayne dates Lois Lane in this episode, and when he leaves for Gotham again, he tells Superman that "[Lois] is all yours, if you can handle her. But you better be good to her, 'cause I know where you live."

In Joe vs. Elan School, after Joe leaves the titular school, he's tracked down by another former Elan inmate named Peter who had a reputation for being a bully, who Joe had maced in an escape attempt. Peter calls Joe on the phone and says that he's driven 500 miles to Joe's block and really wants to visit. Joe, being Genre Savvy enough to realize that this is highly suspect, makes excuses, ends the phone call, and spends the next several days paranoid that he's going to be attacked.

The Owl House:
The Emperor's Coven has been aware of the Owl House's location since before the start of the series, but it hardly comes up since it's not on Emperor Belos' priority list. That changes in the episode "Eclipse Lake" when the Golden Guard realizes that Luz' portal key is vital to Belos' plans. He gets Amity to hand it over by reminding her of this trope. She may get away now, but if she does, Belos will just move the Owl House up on the target priority list. Ultimately, after confirming that Luz had went back in time and unknowingly taught his younger self the Light Glyph that helped him take over the Boiling Isles, Belos decides in "Hollow Minds" that Luz no longer needs to be kept alive. The end of the following episode, "Edge of the World", has the Emperor Coven making a raid on the Owl House.
Vee cites this as her reason for why she doesn't try to escape Jacob's trap in "Yesterday's Lie". She figures he knows her human disguise now, so even if she gets away, he knows where she lives and can hunt her down, and Camila will either be in danger having to shelter "Luz" or learn the Awful Truth that her beloved "daughter" for the last few months has been an imposter, and Vee doesn't want to put Camila through that. Luz cuts the knot by telling Camila the truth herself, after which Camila, shocked that magic is real and apalled at what Jacob is doing to Vee, busts her out of her cage, beats up Jacob and allows Vee to stay at her house.

Disney Ducks Comic Universe:
Donald Duck is extremely protective of both his superhero identity and the secret agent one because he's perfectly aware this would eventually happen if one or both got out. Hence why as Paperinik he's extremely brutal to anyone who try and find out or even lies about knowing (as in, "setting a lynching mob on the culprit" brutal, as he did to some guys who were endangering his identity and then to the Beagle Boys for lying they knew) and always carries memory-erasing candies that he'll feed, by force if necessary, to anyone who discovers him. Anyone, as Daisy and his nephews could testify if he hadn't slipped them those candies...
Interestingly enough, Paperinik himself provides a heroic counterpart: if he recognizes the technique of a thief he will visit them at home, and out-of-town criminals who plan to move at Duckburg may suddenly receive a visit from Paperinik and be shown a video with what the hero did to their friends that already tried to move in his city.
Another example comes from "Brains at Stake": as the Beagle Boys had hostages Paperinik couldn't attack directly, so he tormented them psychologically, with the thing that breaks their ability to fight being discovering that Paperinik had destroyed the bridge to their secret hideout in the mountains.

Murdoch Mysteries:
Late in "Unfinished Business" (Season 7, Episode 12), Julia gets a photo of her and Murdoch kissing in an alley (which she and viewers recognize happened after they attended a recent opera performance), together with a letter apparently from James Gillies. The letter threatens that if she marries Murdoch, he'll die, and if she tells him about the letter (and the threat), they'll both die. This starts a subplot over the next several episodes in which she tries to resolve the problem herself to keep Murdoch safe. She applies Murdoch's methods and finds the room where the photo was taken. In that room, she also finds a second photo of Murdoch taken inside his office with a second note threatening death if she continues her investigation. It later turns out the photos and threats came from her murdered husband's younger brother Leslie Garland.
In the two-parter "On the Waterfront", Brackenreid recalls in Flashback a day when his wife Margaret gave directions to two men driving a wagon. The inspector called sharply to his wife from his wheelchair on the front porch, and Margaret didn't seem to understand what he was fussing about. The men were the O'Shea brothers, who had beaten Brackenreid nearly to death (hence his presence at home in the wheelchair). They don't speak to Brackenreid directly, but one of them does tip his hat to the inspector.

The Walking Dead: In Season 1, while Merle isn't a true villain, he's the Token Evil Teammate who finds his own way out of Atlanta and the group fears he's going to return to the camp with a vengeance. In Season 2, this provides a lot of drama as Randall, a straggler from the Living, knows Maggie from high school and thus knows where the farm is and could bring his people to invade. In Season 3, The Governor tortures Glenn and Maggie into giving up the prison's location. In Season 5, the Wolves learn of Alexandria's location and attack it the following season; the Saviors follow suit and find the community responsible for wiping out one of their outposts in late Season 6.

This comes in handy in Treadstone when someone threatens a Manchurian Agent this way, as he's had his memories wiped due to brainwashing and he doesn't know where he lives, so he forces the guy making the threat to give him the address.

In Grosse Pointe Blank, the assassin protagonist tries to convince his psychiatrist to continue seeing him (the psychiatrist freaked out when his patient revealed his profession). The protagonist mentions doctor-patient confidentiality as a reason why their continued visits wouldn't be a problem and then adds, "And besides, I know where you live". Given the protagonist's admitted profession and the fact that he would know the psychiatrist by name, that's not so hard to believe. The assassin meant it as a black joke, but while the psychiatrist realises this he doesn't find it funny at all.

Daredevil (2015):
Fisk finds himself on the receiving end of this in season 1 when Madame Gao pays him a visit at his penthouse. She points out that the fact that she found where he lives is a sign that he's starting to grow careless. And this, combined with Gao threatening his life, puts Fisk on edge to the point that he overturns his giant dining room table in a rage as soon as she leaves.
In "The Perfect Game", Karen Page tries to coerce Felix Manning into giving her information under the threat of public exposure in her newspaper. Felix responds by reciting details of Karen's past that he's dug up on orders from Fisk.
In "One Last Shot", Matt and Foggy arrange with District Attorney Blake Tower to have Ray Nadeem testify before a grand jury about his involvement in Fisk's criminal empire. It seems like their plan will work...and then one of the jurors starts reciting the names and addresses of the others, implying that they will be targeted if they choose to indict.

All versions of Law & Order:
A particularly repugnant SVU criminal very casually asks Stabler, "How are Kathy and the kids?" after spending weeks stalking Olivia, knowing not only where she lives, but where she shops/works out/does her laundry, etc., and terrorizing yet another potential victim the same way.
On the original program, a defendant admits to killing the victim after the man threatened his wife by greeting her as she returned home from running errands—"Tell him I was this close.", and years later, a thug threatens ADA Alexandra Borgia with the identical statement (eerily Foreshadowing her fate).
Law & Order: UK: James Steele's nemesis practically recites the address of his son's home—"Bradley Street, Edinburgh" in order to intimidate him.

In Six of Crows, Kaz Brekker, the Crazy-Prepared Unscrupulous Hero, has information on everyone and everything. The first impression the reader gets of him is when he takes advantage of distant sirens during a deal gone wrong, saying he'll have the offender's lover burned alive if he wasn't going to get out of the deal alive, proving it by listing her address and a description of the scenery outside.

Season 3 of Young Justice (2010) reveals that the Light know the secret identities of the Justice League as well as who their loved ones and associates are, but refuse to target said loved ones and associates because they know that doing so will just get the League on their backs, so they've put this aside as the "nuclear option". We learn this in an episode where it turns out the League's families have play dates with each other at the Allen household and Ocean Master (who was kicked out of the Light) tries to assassinate them on one such day before being stopped by Lady Shiva. Permanently.

Person of Interest:
Combined with Even Evil Has Loved Ones in "Aletheia", when the Machine makes it clear it's not going to tolerate the government trying to take control of it.
In "Prisoners Dilemma", four corporate mercenaries plus John Reese have been captured by the FBI. One of them decides to talk and finger Reese as the Man in the Suit vigilante. Harold Finch calls the mercenary with his true name, the address of his family, his mortgage details...and the fact that Finch has just transferred all the money in his offshore account and won't get it back unless he fingers one of his colleagues as the Man in the Suit instead.
And in "C.O.D.", Finch is dealing with an online black marketeer only known as d3mon8. Or so he believes until...
In "Pretenders", a Heroic Wannabe is pretending to be a Hard Boiled Detective called Jack Forge. He gets a call from the villains on a stolen phone he's found, demanding to speak to Detective Forge. After hanging up in a panic, he immediately gets a call from the same villains on his workplace phone, asking for him by his real name.
In "Last Call", an unseen villain calls a 911 dispatcher and informs her that he's kidnapped a child who will be killed if she doesn't comply with his instructions. When she expresses skepticism over whether the kidnapping is real, the villain offers to drop a body part over at her address, which he proceeds to give.

On ER, Luka' s vengeful former patient (he was left permanently disabled due to an error Luka made, kicking off a chain of disastrous events—failed business, failed marriage, etc) encounters his wife in the park while she's playing with their son. He's not threatening at all, instead being very friendly and polite while never revealing who he is. But he does steal the kid's stuffed animal. When he returns it in a supposedly friendly gesture, Luka is frightened at the realization both of this trope and the fact that the man could have easily harmed his wife and son had he wanted to. It doesn't help that a few episodes later, as Luka looks out the window of his apartment, he sees the man standing across the street. And a few episodes after that, his wife returns home only to find the man sitting on the couch as comfortably as if he belongs there.

And let's not forget Glory, who threatened to kill Buffy's loved ones and make her watch while confronting her in her own living room.

In Crimson Dark the pirate Abraham Mengsk responds to Vaegyr Ward disabling his ship by ranting about how he knows where to find his and his wife's families. It turns out to be the wrong move.

Assassin's Creed III: At the start of the climax, Charles Lee snarls to Connor that he's planning to burn his Homestead to the ground and kill everyone there. It's not surprising given Connor has not only transformed the Homestead into a thriving small community and has become a beloved leader of said community, but the Templars previously wiped out the Colonial Assassins and left Achilles to rot in his loss at said homestead.

The Batman: When Batman and Superman meet, Superman just uses his x-ray vision to see who's beneath the cowl. Batman doesn't like being at the disadvantage, so he tracks Superman's flight patterns, recognizes the two most frequent stops (the Daily Planet building and Clark Kent's apartment), puts two and two together, and shows up at the apartment in person, just to let Supes know that he's not to be underestimated.

Burn Notice, Michael and Fiona try this by breaking into a bad guy's home and playing on his pool table as he arrives. Being part of the bad guy/spy game himself he cites the trope, doesn't act intimidated, and makes them get to their point. It works later when they state his daughter's name and overseas school address and imply someone is there about to shoot her.

The Sopranos: When Uncle Junior is on trial, some of June's associates find one of the jurors (buying candy for his son, no less) and casually mention details of the trial and of the juror's family, and how glad they are that the juror is doing his civic duty. In the next episode, the jury is hung with a single holdout, leading to a mistrial—and that poor juror is hated by all the others.

A subtle one in the Remington Steele episode "Elegy in Steele": Major Descoine comes to the agency's office, promises Laura and Steele he'll kill them both by noon that day, and leads them on a chase around the city. One surreal stop is a richly-furnished Victorian-looking apartment in an otherwise abandoned building. On looking around, the detectives notice that the framed photographs scattered about the living room show them at work on recent cases (in clearly recognizable stills from previous episodes), and the penny drops:

In the film Ice Cream Man about a Humanitarian evil ice cream man, the eponymous man uses the exact line: "You little turds are gonna have to realize you can't run from the ice cream man! I know where you live! If you tell anyone, I'll get your mom and dad!"

The Walking Dead Television Universe: A recurring goal of franchise antagonists is to find and wipe out the communities the heroic survivors are living in.
The Walking Dead: In Season 1, while Merle isn't a true villain, he's the Token Evil Teammate who finds his own way out of Atlanta and the group fears he's going to return to the camp with a vengeance. In Season 2, this provides a lot of drama as Randall, a straggler from the Living, knows Maggie from high school and thus knows where the farm is and could bring his people to invade. In Season 3, The Governor tortures Glenn and Maggie into giving up the prison's location. In Season 5, the Wolves learn of Alexandria's location and attack it the following season; the Saviors follow suit and find the community responsible for wiping out one of their outposts in late Season 6.
Fear the Walking Dead: In Season 8, Troy Otto's primary goal is to find the location of the group's base at PADRE to either destroy it or claim it for himself, preferably the latter.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond: The show reveals that the CRM has the locations of the homes of many of their prisoners on file and are fully capable and willing to gas them or destroy them with a super-cluster of walkers. This is believed to be part of the reason why Rick Grimes hasn't made it home yet, out of fear that they'll do the same to the Coalition.

Layer Cake:
Subtly done at one point. The protagonist is going to meet his girlfriend at a hotel rendezvous when he gets abducted by a Diabolical Mastermind gangster, and at the end of their "interview", he's casually dropped off at his home, which the other guy wouldn't know unless he'd been keeping close tabs on him.
Played for Laughs when the protagonist is being threatened by a Serbian gangster; he acts intimidated and agrees to meet him where he lives, then asks "Do you know where that is?". When the Serbian says no, the protagonist hangs up on him.

In Guards! Guards! it's implied that Lord Vetinari got the Thieves' Guild leaders to agree to his plan to lower the crime rate by legitimizing them, by quietly suggesting that he knew where their loved ones lived. Especially since legitimization meant they now had a fixed abode.
