Our adventurer is working his way through the dark tomb of King Nohatsuput, but he is not worried about the Curse, nor the many Death Traps, nor Nohatsuput's Mummy rising again to strangle him. Nope, no worries at all because he bought a special talisman from the local villagers. But wait...the bones of many previous adventurers all lie along this path...all with the same familiar talisman... This trope describes the instance when a character (or perhaps just the audience) realises this is a dangerous area, because many other people in the same circumstances have left evidence of their demise. To continue might be considered Schmuck Bait but we've got a story to tell. Foreboding Carcass is one specific way this can occur. In several instances, this trope becomes a Deus ex Machina that helps the main character or hero get out of the incoming peril in some way. This can be simply the warning that the area is dangerous, but sometimes the hero may find useful items left by the victims. Compare Follow the Chaos. |

Finding Nemo: On the journey to Sydney, Dory and Marlin come across a trench that they can either go through or swim over. Dory is eager to take the direct route, but just out of their sight there's a fish carcass lying at the entrance. Though it turns out going over is equally dangerous, as it leads them into a school of jellyfish. | |

In The Goonies, the characters run across the long-dead body of treasure hunter Chester Copperpot in their search for One-Eyed Willy's ship. Some of them want to turn back, but Mikey convinces them that this is a good sign, because it means that they're on the right track, and they have already got farther than a professional treasure hunter. | |

At one point, they discover the body of a guard whose armor has been completely shredded, hinting that they're on the right path to reach the next floor. Examining the body after this reveals an item which can be used to convince his commander you're not lying about his death. | |

Ignoring the danger, Spongebob wades through the bones. Patrick looks at the bones, then looks at Spongebob, and cries out "SPONGEBOB!".

He is only able to escape its clutches by wedging the femur of a previous victim in the beast's jaws, and after running towards the emergency escape door, he uses the skull of yet another previous victim to activate the great door, which closes on the monster's neck, killing it. | |

Monty Python and the Holy Grail: King Arthur and his men have a tough time believing that the diminutive Killer Rabbit they face is dangerous, in spite of all the bones they see littered about the front of his cave. It's not until one of their number gets decapitated by said rabbit that they start to take it seriously. Another scene from that movie features Brave Sir Robin heading down a road which had three signs marked "Certain Death" pointing in the direction he was travelling, several slaughtered knights skewered on the same lance and stuck into a tree, all leading up to the easily avoidable encounter with the three-headed giant, described in the Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film as "the fiercest creature for yards around!" |

Red Dwarf: Parodied in the episode "Psirens". The crew pilot Starbug into a graveyard of ships that have all been crashed or disabled by the titular illusion generating creatures. Sending a scout droid to investigate one of the ships they see (but we don't) the body of a man who had been disemboweled and used his last moments to write "PSIRENS." using a combination of blood and his own intestines. The Cat comments on how impressive it is that the man even used his kidney as a full stop but the other postulate that he probably didn't mean to and it just flopped out there coincidentally. Played for as much Black Comedy as possible in the episode "Quarantine". The crew is exploring a creepy abandoned bioresearch lab, and discovering grosser and alarmingly detailed messages as they wipe dust off the warning signs. |

Several thousand years ago Alexander's Greek Hoplites tried the same thing but failed to get past all the traps. The Ducks keep finding evidence of the soldiers' unfortunate deaths: armor left behind because whoever was carrying it was eaten, armor with holes pierced through it, armor squished like a pancake, etc. | |

Approaching them allows Navi to receive their messages, usually related to something about those places. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass: The Temple of the Ocean King, the central dungeon, has many skeletons of previous adventurers scattered through its halls. In an interesting variation, all of them still retain their spirits, who will give you clues to help succeed where they failed. |

The bodies of the last explorers are still lying within the first few feet of the trapped hallway, with spears sticking out of them.

In an episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog Eustace is kidnapped by an underwater witch. Courage pursues and upon reaching the witch's palace peeks on her flirting with Eustace and putting a coral necklace on him. This alone doesn't startle Courage until he notices heaps of skeletons around the palace, each wearing the same necklace. | |

In The Mark of Athena, in order to pass the cult of Mithras, a child of Athena must pass the test of the knife or the flame. Annabeth encounters the bodies of children of Athena killed by these tests and realizes that she has little to no chance of surviving either, so figures out a different way around the test. | |

Haydee: Different parts of the levels are filled with previous Haydee units that didn't make it, like at the bottom of a chasm, meaning they didn't make a specific jump and fell to their deaths. | |

In The Mummy Returns, when Imhotep and his followers arrive at the Scorpion King's oasis, they come across the corpses of soldiers ranging from Roman Legionaries to Napoleon's own troops. Naturally, because Imhotep's followers are an army of Red Shirt Mooks, they continue on anyways to their horrible demise. | |
