Line 14 ⟶ 15:
This kind of person is very difficult to coerce or break through the usual methods; as they can be [[Too Kinky to Torture]] or [[Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth]]. Note that this trope is a sliding scale; Nightmare Fetishism can range from a harmless fondness for morbid stories to a literal sexual fascination with the life-threatening.
Chances are good that you are familiar with such a person, whether you know it or not. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130510153133/http://fetishfuel.wikia.com/wiki/Nightmare_Fetishist You may even be one.]

Line 50 ⟶ 51:
* In ''[[Nightwalker]]'', {{spoiler|after becoming a vampire, Riho}} discovers a love for dreary, rainy days because that's the only time it's safe to be outside during the day.
* In ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', upon discovering that Chrono is a bona fide demon, Joshua doesn't freak out so much as he jumps for joy and eagerly asks him if ghosts exist, too.
* In ''[[Daily Life with Monster Girl]]'', Mero, picture above, wants to [[All Love Is Unrequited|be a victim of
** {{spoiler|Queen Lorelei, Mero's Mom, was later reveal to be an [[Up to 11|amp up]] version of this. It's to the point where she makes trouble for her subjects and almost murders Kimihito.}}
* ''[[Princess Tutu]]''
** Drosselmeyer delights in tragic stories and gets excited whenever things begin to take a dark turn.
Line 67 ⟶ 69:
* Ada of ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'' is into the occult and medieval torture devices. [[Beware the Nice Ones|Who knew?]]
* Shinra of ''[[Durarara!!]]'' makes it known that he thinks Celty is beautiful without a head. He also spent most of grade school and high school fanboying Shizuo's crazy rage fits.
* [[Emotionless Girl]] Anju of ''[[Karin]]'' habitually carries around Boogie-Kun, a doll possessed by a serial killer with a knife in its hand. Angu tells Karin Boogie-Kun's past history with a cheerful smile on her face and later mentions that [https://web.archive.org/web/20100716020659/http://www.onemanga.com/Karin/13/60/ she collects other creepy dolls] that all have interesting histories. She then asks Karin if she wants to hear about them but Karin quickly leaves in fear.
* Ryuuko of ''[[Wolf Guy|Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest]]'' gets turned on by violence of any kind (though not done to her it seems) to the point where she masturbates on top of a school rooftop after a few students had been gunned down there. And she also wants to bang the strongest guy alive.
* ''[[Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru]]'': During their fight Kevin gets excited at seeing Minoru's fearful eyes, grabs him by the throat and squeezes hard enough so as to make him cough up blood. He then [[Blood Lust|drinks the blood]] while saying "Mmm...Delicious flavor...LET ME DRINK MORE!"
Line 120 ⟶ 122:
* Harlen "The Reporter" Maguire in ''[[Road to Perdition]]''. Not only is he a news photographer who specializes in crime scenes, he also {{spoiler|moonlights as a assassin}} and takes a certain professional pride in his work.
** To the extent that he considers a murder victim being [[Only Mostly Dead]] to be an unfortunate obstacle to a good photograph...

Line 141 ⟶ 143:
* Most of the characters, in Andrew Boland’s novel [[Hells Children|Hell's Children]], are definitely Nightmare Fetishists. Going on the author’s biography, it would seem that he is one of these to, which would explain a lot.
* Tommy in ''[[Bloodsucking Fiends]]''. His first words after learning his girlfriend was a vampire? "That is the most awesome thing I've ever heard. Let's have sex with our socks off." The sequel gives us Abby Normal, a [[Perky Goth]] who didn't [[Jumped At the Call|jump at the call]] to be a vampire's minion but hunted it down and demanded the job.
* Vaughn, Ballard, Helen, and Gabrielle from [[J. G. Ballard]]'s ''[[
* Kiera Graves from Mindy Mackay's [[Peacebreakers]] fits this trope for her erotic fascination with {{spoiler|[[Squick|scar tissue]]}}.
* ''[[The Southern Vampire Mysteries]]'' make frequent mention of the [[Vampires Are Sex Gods|vampire-obsessed]] "fang bangers" who get off on having their blood drained, having sex with vampires, or just being around them.
Line 240 ⟶ 242:
* In ''[[Genius: The Transgression]]'', the [[For Science!|Staunen]] breed of [[Mad Scientist]] tend towards this. In fact, the page quote comes from the Staunen section of the rulebook.
* In ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'', Yawgmoth's goal is [[Utopia Justifies the Means|to turn the multiverse into Phyrexia, his idea of paradise]]. This would be fine, except for the fact that [[Mad Scientist|Yawg]][[Complete Monster|moth]] [[Body Horror|has]] [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|a]] ''very'' warped [[And I Must Scream|idea]] [[Machine Worship|of]] [[Omnicidal Maniac|paradise]].
** With Yawgmoth and Phyrexia destroyed once and for all, the [[Body Horror|Glistening Oil]] left in [[Physical God|Karn]] has taken over his beloved Mirrodin. And his [[And I Must Scream|mind]]. With the [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|five suns of Mirrodin]], the previously Monoblack (and Artifact) Phyrexia is now split into the five colours. [[Light Is Not Good|White]] [
*** White Phyrexia is also known for wearing cracked porcelain masks and carapaces, said to be stronger than steel. [http://media.wizards.com/images/magic/daily/stf/stf143_phyrexianUnlife.jpg These bits of porcelain] are made from dead Mirran that didn't make the cut.
* More than one [[Prestige Class]] from ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' tends to attract these types. ''Complete Arcane'' has the blood magus, who really enjoyed the sound of his blood flowing when he came back to life, and can do things like store spells in his scars and blood or teleport between two living creatures through their blood. It also includes the alienist, who's made contact with [[Things Man Was Not Meant to Know]]. The fleshwarper from ''Lords of Madness'' does the alienist one better, deliberately altering himself with [[Mad Artist]] glee, and eventually turning into an [[Our Monsters Are Weird|aberration]]. Sea witches from ''Stormwrack'' delight in the power of the storm. The best part? [[Bad Powers, Good People|All of those classes are open to good characters.]]
