This is an [[Audience Reaction]], so leave it on YMMV and '''Nightmare Fuel''' tabs and don't get too worked up about what specifically goes into it - what's [[Nightmare Retardant]] for one person may well be '''Nightmare Fuel''' for another. |

Tropes used to invoke this feeling are [[Horror Tropes]]. Tropes ''about'' fear are [[Fear Tropes]]. If it is meant to scare but fails to deliver, and [[Narm|becomes hilarious instead]], it devolves into [[Nightmare Retardant]]. Characters that are this [[In-Universe]] are [[The Dreaded]]. Personal examples are [[Troper Tales]] and do not belong here. There may be real life things that induce fear, but [[No Real Life Examples, Please]] There's just too many to document as the degree of fear varies from person to person. |
