== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Norwegian zombie flick ''[[Dead Snow (Film)|Dead Snow]]'' (Originally ''Død Snø'') features one of the victims waking up as the zombies are ripping out her intestines.

* A version of this is done in ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'' where Scott slaps his hands over his eyes when he walks in on a half-naked Ramona and the screen goes dark.

* ''[[The Covenant]]'' does a blink-awake when Caleb hits his head on the edge of the lap pool and nearly drowns.

* Several, both from the [[POV Cam]] and external in ''[[Film/Face Off|Face Off]]'' mostly as Castor!Archer tries to keep his [[Sanity Slippage]] from wearing his enemy's face from overwhelming him.

** [[Final Fantasy IV]] Does something similar, blurring the screen a couple of time to show Cecil's head spinning as he picks himself up after the events at Mist.

* Used in ''[[Metroid Prime]] 3: Corruption,'' when Samus wakes up from a month-long coma after the events of Norion. Made somewhat amusing by the Federation medical officer planting a hand right in her visor as she's coming to.

* ''[[FEAR]] 2'' uses this when Becket wakes up in the hospital after {{spoiler|being genetically engineered to have Alma's psychic powers}} (he even picks up and puts on his [[Cool Shades]]/[[Heads Up Display]]).

* There's a "blink-blink" version at the end of ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]] Episode Four'', after {{spoiler|Guybrush gets stabbed.}}

* Invoked in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3]]'' once Naked Snake is {{spoiler|shot in the eye; from then on, if you enter first-person view that side of the screen is blacked out.}}

* Used liberally by ''Call of Cthulhu: [[Dark Corners of the Earth]]'': your view is blurred whenever you're faced with something terrifying, the screen slowly goes dark as you're injured...

* In the ''[[Die Hard]] 2'' part of ''Die Hard Trilogy'', the screen blurs when you get hit, and has a [[Near Death Experience]]-like effect when you die.

* Used terrifyingly in ''[[Batman Arkham Asylum]]'' when {{spoiler|the screen seems to glitch and the game starts again from the beginning cinematic, to show when Batman is under the influence of Scarecrow's fear toxin.}} His {{spoiler|coughing}} gives it away a bit, but it still sends many players into a panic.
