Line 11 ⟶ 9:
Bonus points if the murderer is [[I'm a Humanitarian|having lunch]] in the process.

{{examples|Examples:}}
 
== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', {{spoiler|Eva 01}} does this to an Angel in an incredibly disturbing scene.
* ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'': {{spoiler|This occurs in episode where Batou recognizes the tactics of a serial killer from a CIA black op during a war. During the flash back they come upon a whole village brutally flayed alive and left to die. The killer in the flash back demonstrates this trope as Batou reaches out to touch him.}}
* ''[[Berserk]]'' has a similar one, except it's a family of three devouring their newborn. Alive.
* [[Junji Ito]] [[media:Binjo_Tsuji_4918Binjo Tsuji 4918.jpg|shows us how it's done.]]

* One of the most iconic moments in the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' franchise. In the first game, a zombie (the first one your ever encounter in the game) does this as he's eating Kenneth.

* In ''[[King of Fighters]]'', [[Secret Character|'Riot of Blood' Iori]] does this in one of his desperation moves.
* Early in ''[[FEARF.E.A.R.]]'', Paxton Fettel is occupied over a labcoat's body. He looks back at the camera to reveal the blood smeared around his mouth.
* ''[[Saya no Uta (Visual Novel)|Saya no Uta]]'' has Saya doing this. Fuminori doesn't catch it because of his warped vision.
