Line 8:
But if the matchstick is depleted, or the batteries or fuel runs out, the light extinguishes and everything is suddenly pitch black. Cue the monsters, the traps or the sentimental/sexual plot twist.
The trope is possibly semi-[[Justified]], if we are to consider [[Watsonian Versus Doylist|the difference even a faint light source would make to someone whose eyes have already accommodated to the darkness]]. Compare [[Hollywood Darkness]], where the ostensible light source is either natural or completely inexplicable... And [[Unnaturally Blue Lighting|usually blue]]. Often appears in the same context as (and immediately after) [[By the Lights of Their Eyes]]
Contrast [[Chiaroscuro]], where everything looks like it was actually lit by a candle.
