* In ''[[VideoGame/MarySkelterNightmares Mary Skelter 2]]'', Jack gains access to the form of [[SuperpoweredEvilSide "Ripper Jack"]] (though this troper prefers calling it "Jack the Ripper" because... you get it) after becoming a Nightmare, and while that way, it turns his eye bright pink ala the Blood Maidens' eyes, while the leaves on his hear turn white and all the vines/beanstalks all over him turn black. However, at the end of the game, Jack ends up creating a Marchen copy of his original Blood Youth form [[spoiler:so that the Blood Team, and especially the Alice they have, still have a Jack to protect them while he teams up with the original Alice, now also a Nightmare]], and when ''it'' goes into Ripper Mode, it becomes a far straighter example of this trope.

* ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'': This is amped up particularly in the beginning with Wanda Maximoff before she's humanized a bit. She spends a lot of time in dark areas that exaggerate her pale skin and dark hair and make her movements and actions creepier. By the time she's a good guy, she's a great deal healthier looking, dyes her hair red, and dresses in brighter clothing.



* Bellatrix Lestrange, and a couple other Death Eaters as well as young Lord Voldemort in ''Franchise/HarryPotter'', are villainous examples. DarkIsNotEvil is in full effect though. The films also have antiheroic examples in Severus Snape and Sirius Black, as well as a heroic example in Harry himself. This appearance is a plot point, just not in the way you'd expect. All the characters who have it are distant relatives of each other: their gothic looks show this connection. Notably though, while the Weasleys and the Malfoys are also relatives: they have very different looks. The Malfoys are pale bordering on albino and the Weasleys are redheads. Also, the movie version makes Cho Chang an example: but she isn't in the books.
