* ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' basically has two rules; stay away from the mountains after dark (where you're at risk of [[spoiler: being eaten by Wendigos]]), and don't [[spoiler: eat human flesh while you're there, allowing the spirits to possess you and transform you into one]]. The latter was broken in the backstory by [[spoiler: some miners who were trapped in a cave-in]], and the former's done by the main characters, and also happens in the prologue ([[spoiler: which also ends with the character being forced to eat the flesh of her dead twin to survive, allowing a Wendigo spirit to possess her]]).

* PlayedWith in ''VideoGame/ProjectKatPaperLilyPrologue'': Kat is attempting to perform the Three Rooms Ritual, and can meet some [[MultipleEndings gruesome ends]] if she bungles any aspect. Should she perform it perfectly, [[spoiler:she's trapped in a hostile EldritchLocation, which is its true purpose -- after all, "Why would you give your prey a chance to escape?" The GoldenEnding requires getting sidetracked exploring the storage rooms and deciding that the answers Kat is seeking aren't worth risking the lives of her companions, allowing all four to leave the school safely]].
* ''VideoGame/TheSakabashiraGame'': The biggest rule of the titular DeadlyGame is that you must StayOnThePath of CherryBlossoms at all times. Take a step off and the Host will promptly kill you while berating you for not listening.

* In ''Fanfic/{{babytails}}'', Diamond Tiara is told not to eat any sweets until her tail has finished shedding. Being a SpoiledBrat who's not used to being told no, she secretly eats them anyway. It turns out that [[spoiler:the sweets mess up the growth process of the babytail fruit, creating one that's horribly difficult and painful to extract]].
* ''Fanfic/IslandOfTheSlaughtered'': According to the Narrator, each of the fifteen ghosts haunting the titular island has a different set of rules that anyone who encounters them must follow; breaking them will result in the ghost killing you. In Heather's case, the only rule you have to follow is ''[[GetOut leaving the island immediately]]''.
* ''Fanfic/TwistedPrincess'': One interpretation of Cinderella being turned into a {{Scary Scarecrow|s}} is that this was her punishment for not making it back home before the last stroke of midnight.

* ''Suckablood'': The titular monster is invoked by an IronicNurseryRhyme calling for it to kill a child who sucks his/her thumb. [[spoiler: It turns out that it's more interested in killing the invokers.]]

* ''Film/TalkToMe'': Instructions for the conjuring ritual clearly specify that the candle must be blown out within 90 seconds. [[spoiler: Riley becomes possessed (or appears to) by the spirit of Mia's mother. Eager to talk to Rhea, Mia stops the others from blowing out the candle. Riley pays the immediate consequences by [[HeadDesk smashing his own head]] [[EyeScream and nearly plucking out his own eye]]]].
* ''Film/TrickRTreat:'' Samhain's mere presence tends to give rise to a lot of supernatural events wherever he goes, giving him a wide variety of ways to kill people who break from Halloween tradition. But as long as people give out candy, stay in costume, don't blow out the jack-o lanterns, and otherwise adhere to the Halloween "rules" until midnight, he'll leave them be. However, [[EvenEvilHasStandards he doesn't take kindly to anyone murdering trick or treaters]] (more specifically, ''kids''), and will go out of his way to kill the culprit, even if they do adhere to the rules.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/HomeSafetyHotline'' revolves around the player informing callers about how they need to go about dealing with various problems, many of which involve TheFairFolk. Naturally, giving anyone faulty information or the wrong advice won't end well for them...
