''Grave Encounters'' is a 2010 indie horror film shot in the First Person Camera Style about the crew of a ''[[Ghost Hunters]]'' -like reality show who surveys haunted locations in the hopes of capturing ghostly activity on film. A prologue mentions that this particular episode, centering around [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|an abandoned mental hospital]] [[Session 9|in the Danvers County area]], was to be the sixth, and the raw footage shows how they play up the spooky factor to increase the atmosphere. However, they soon find themselves in the middle of a nightmare as the sun goes down...

=== The movie provides examples of: ===
Line 20:
* {{spoiler|[[Darkness Equals Death]]: and how. Any character moving around on their own or out of shot or view is effectively doomed.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Death By Falling Over]]: Matt, in his insane state, looks down the elevator shaft with the camera. The camera shows him falling to his doom, and the two remaining members both rush over to find him dead having fallen over four floors to the ground and hitting solid concrete.}}
* {{spoiler|[[EverybodysEverybody's Dead, Dave]]: One by one the characters die off, until even Lance is lobotomized and we never find out what happened to him when they found the camera equipment.}}
* [[Face Revealing Turn]]: When everyone finds the bathroom, a woman is looking in the corner. While she turns her head she appears normal, but after just a few seconds her face goes [[Body Horror]] and she screams.
* [[Fog of Doom]]: {{spoiler|Sasha's vanishing}}.
Line 49:
* [[Things That Go Bump in The Night]]: The bald man ghost.
* [[Torture Cellar]]: The basic purpose of the operating room was to test lobotomies, as history will say the methods were often very cruel and did not let their victims survive very long. {{spoiler|the final survivor finds this out first hand.}}
* [[Very Loosely Based Onon a True Story]]: Some of the earlier antics are partially reminiscent of how real ghost hunting teams such as [[Ghost Hunters]] do things, but when they actually start seeing ghosts it blows into its own story.
