Line 20:
== Comics ==
* Pariah from [[DC Comics]] whole gimmick is this. His main trick is popping up, stating "I'm Pariah and I'm doomed to go from world to world to see them get destroyed!", ad nauseum.
* This was also the [[Silver Surfer]]'s gig. Depending on which version, he'd either go around picking out likely worlds for Galactus to devour, or show up to alert said worlds that Galactus was on his way. Or both.
== Film ==
* In the remake of ''[[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre]]'', the protagonists pick up a bloody female straggler who appears to be in shock. She warns them that they're going the wrong way (the route she was fleeing from). But they ignore her ramblings and try to calm her down. She then proceeds to shoot herself in the mouth, rather then go back to where she came from.
* Vincenzo Natali's short film ''Elevated'' had a guy come into an elevator screaming about a monster that killed everyone on his floor, and tells them they need to get out of the building.
* ''[[Assault on Precinct 13]]'' had a similar trope where a guy goes into a precinct that was in the process of being shut down. He tries to warn them about a gang of murderers that's trying to kill him. But he's in too much shock to get the words out.
Line 41:
* In ''[[Zombieland]]'': the initial girl from Apartment 406 that comes to Columbus's apartment after being attacked by a "homeless person". Somewhat different by the fact that technically hell really didn't come with her. But instead {{spoiler|[[Zombie Infectee|''She'' will be the Hell in a few minutes]].}}
* The western film, ''[[Pale Rider]]'' uses the page quote as part of its narration. A subplot of the movie is whether or not the pale rider is actually a live person or a walking dead man who has come to exact his vengeance.
* In ''[[30 Days of Night]]'', a creepy human arrives in Barrow to pave the way for the vampires (stealing and destroying satellite phones, killing sled dogs and trashing the only helicopter), letting Sheriff Oleson know that his day is about to get much worse, but not specifying precisely how.
