* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]], [[Defied Trope]] and [[Subverted Trope]] [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4497752/42/Tales_of_Cosplayers in Chapter 42] of ''Tales of Cosplayers'': The characters are in a dark and scary forest, suddenly there's a noise coming from the shrubs: It's a rabbit! However, the protagonist doesn't believe that that's all, he tells the others to wait, since in stories a big, scary monster's always showing up when a cute one appeared before, at which someone else makes a snarky comment. after they waited half a minute and still nothing happened, he argues with the professor of the group and they finally keep on going. It's stated that the protagonist's "faith in television shattered."
Line 77:
* In Lewton's film ''Body Snatcher'' there is a scare with a horse and in his ''The Leopard Man'' a tumbleweed and a train are used at certain points in the movie.
* Averted in ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'', when Glen goes outside to investigate a noise and calls "Kitty kitty?" in hopes that it ''is'' this trope at work. It's actually the film's [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] who jumps out and scares him.
* In ''[[The Slumber Party Massacre]]'' has a cat inside a closet.
* Played straight in the [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] film ''[[End of Days]]'', as pictured above. [[The Nostalgia Critic]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLLW9EsCFoQ has fun with this], making several jokes about the ''[[Large Ham|CAAAAAAAAAT]]!!''
* Subverted for laughs in ''The [[Kids in The Hall]]: Brain Candy''. The plot of the movie revolves around a new (untested) wonder drug that cures depression. When the primary researcher who developed the drug realizes one of the laboratory test animals has entered a catatonic state, he becomes concerned and goes to check on the drug's first human test subject, an elderly widow who lives alone. He finds her home seemingly deserted and eerily silent. As he gingerly makes his way through the house, calling out for the woman, a cat {{spoiler|suddenly falls on his head from out of nowhere,}} startling him and the audience before it runs away. When the researcher looks up, {{spoiler|he sees half a dozen cats hanging from the ceiling by their claws.}}
Line 178:
* Parodied by the first winner of [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony's]] ''Grass Battle Contest''. When the hero opens the locker he finds a picture of a cat and jumps as though it were a proper Cat Scare.
* As noted in Film, mocked repeatedly by [[The Nostalgia Critic]] starting from the ''[[End of Days]]'' review, with ''' ''[[Running Gag|"CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"]]'' '''.
** When [[The Cinema Snob]] guest-starred in the ''[[Leprechaun]]'' review, he joined in with "Doooooog!", which the Nostalgia Critic forbade him to do.
* every episode of [[Wacky Game Jokes 4 Kids!]] ends with a zombie cat screamer.
* In an entry of [[Marble Hornets]], there appears to be somebody following Jay for the majority of one of the entries. Jay notices him and starts running, but the man's still following. The man stops near Jay, and Jay calls out to him. It turns out not to be the masked man, or some other dangerous person, but just some random guy playing with an iPod.
