''Heh huuhhh...'' There is something particularly creepy about wheezy or labored breathing. ''heh huhhh'' Unnatural breathing can characterize someone as being ... ''hehhh'' unnatural, or less than human. As a result, ''huuuuhh'' this sort of breathing is often given to evil characters. This has been particularly true since 1977, when the [[Trope Namer]] ''heh huuhhh'' first appeared in film. Ideally, the creepy breathing is combined with some sort of ''heeee huuh'' creepy voice, and an [[Evil Laugh]] ''heh heh... heh heheh...''. Sometimes the creepy breathing is justified by some sort of disfiguring accident, which gives the evil character a [[Red Right Hand|creepy appearance]] as well. ''cough'' |
