** Spoofed in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Hogfather|Hogfather]]''. Teatime uses this line on a guard, but his would-be victim wants to know ''which'' nightmare that would be. When it's clarified that he means, "The one where the man appears out of nowhere and kills you stone dead", the guard relaxes and points out that ''that'' nightmare isn't particularly scary. Then Teatime kills him stone dead.

* ''[[Tales Fromfrom the Crypt]]'': One story has a woman tangling with three [[CIA]] agents. She has killed two of them (not bad for a housewife) and faces the last agent, woman to woman. The housewife tells the agent, "I'm your worst nightmare. I'm a woman with ''balls''!" The agents acts dismissive about it. {{spoiler|The housewife ends up revealing that s/he's the male rogue CIA agent they're looking for. S/he easily kills off the agent}}! She clearly wasn't kidding when she said that!
