Line 309:
* ''[[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]]'': Inside the mailbox was absolutely nothing.
** Nothing after nothing came bursting out.
* ''[[Yume Nikki]]'' is very good at this, but oddly enough, the best example wouldn't even ''be'' an example were it not for the fact that one of the game's secrets got out. [[media:Achievement_Unlocked_-_0G_-_UboAAAAAAAAAAAAA_6626.PNGpng|See this]]? A little creepy, but not worth being the picture for the game's Nightmare Fuel page when there's entire worlds full of severed body parts, right? Thing is, if you want to see Uboa ([[Watch It for The Meme|which may well be why you're playing the game at all]]), you have to deal with a [[Randomly Drops]] mechanic: he only has a 1/64 chance of showing up, and then only under very specific circumstances. By the time you've spent ten minutes walking in and out of Poniko's house and flipping her lights off, Uboa's actual appearance and [[Hell Is That Noise|accompanying sound effects]] will make you [[Jump Scare|jump about a foot]].
** And on a broader scale, the dream worlds are so big and have so much empty space that you never know when you're going to stumble onto something, and after you've found a few of the... ''[[Nightmare Dreams|weirder]]'' parts of Madotsuki's dreams, you realize that whatever it is, it's going to be deeply disturbing. But then, this ''is'' basically ''[[Earthbound]]'' [[X Meets Y|meets]] ''[[Silent Hill]]''...
** Actually, for some, just the drastic change of the lights in Poniko's room turning on and off, ''without'' Uboa, is horror.
Line 585:
* Technically speaking, very little happens in ''[[Marble Hornets]]''. "Nothing happening" will keep you awake for weeks.
** Case in point: Entry 21. Daylight. No [[Hell Is That Noise|audio or video distortion]] whatsoever except around a small burrow of sorts. Yet when Jay climbs up the tower, you feel like you're gonna die!
** The entirety of Entry 17 is Type 3. It's just a clip of Tim sitting around, running through some lines with J and Alex. It might take some time to notice [[media:[[SM In Background]]SMInBackground.jpg|our friend in the back]].
* Most photos from [[The Slender Man Mythos|the mythos]] are the third type, too. You'll see, say, a creepy, [[Ominous Fog|foggy]] [[Don't Go in The Woods|forest]]. You'll stare at it for a while, trying to see what all the "OH SHIT" comments are about. Then you'll notice that that one tree off to the side and way in the back {{spoiler|''[[Humanoid Abomination|isn't a tree]]''}}.
* In ''[[Homestuck]]'', we have D{{color|white|o}}c Scratch's warning to Karkat:
