Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A whole group of people [[OhCrap realise they're screwed and react accordingly]].
* '''Straight''': The main group of protagonists is in a cave, when they hear a loud roaring noise and then a ferocious monster comes out of the darkness. Everyone gets an "uh-oh" expression on their faces.
* '''Exaggerated''': Everyone, even the most [[TheStoic stoic]] members of the group, starts having the most extreme fear responses you could imagine the moment they hear the monster.
* '''Downplayed''':
** They already look scared because the cave is known for being the home of dangerous monsters. When the monster comes, they look a bit more scared and a select few of them gasp out loud, but not much beyond that.
** Only about half of the team gets worried expressions.
* '''Justified''': Well, wouldn't you be scared too if a monster came out and wanted to kill you and your friends?
* '''Inverted''': There's already a monster there at the beginning of the scene, and when it's killed, everyone says, "Yay!".
* '''Subverted''': The main villain sets the monster loose in the cave and watches for a reaction, only to be surprised when they don't react at all.
* '''Double Subverted''': [[DelayedReaction... and then they start reacting]].
* '''Parodied''': The protagonists are all very young children and they react as though they've just realised their lives are in danger, but really [[FauxHorrific the daycare workers told them it was nap time]].
* '''Zigzagged''': Alice looks scared, Bob remains stoic, Charles ScreamsLikeALittleGirl, Dave holds onto Charles, and [[ActionGirl Emily]] instantly starts fighting the monster despite looking slightly nervous while doing so.
* '''Averted''':
** The protagonists are never in any real danger.
** Whenever the protagonists are in danger, none, or only one or two of them, emote.
* '''Enforced''': "We need to let the audience know that the protagonists are just as scared of the antagonist as they are!".
* '''Lampshaded''': "Look at you lot showing fear like a bunch of scaredy-cats!"
* '''Invoked''': The monster was roaring and leaping out like that deliberately to scare the team.
* '''Exploited''': The monster attacks while everyone's distracted.
* '''Defied''': "Nobody express any emotion..."
* '''Discussed''': "...and we were all like, 'Oh no!'"
* '''Conversed''': "I will never forget the looks on their faces when the cave monster thing came out in that scene!"
* '''Implied''': We don't see the team while they're in the cave, but we hear a roar and then multiple screams, though it's unclear how many people are screaming and who the people are who are screaming.
* '''Deconstructed''': While everyone's emoting, the monster jumps and attacks Bob.
* '''Reconstructed''': ...Who instantly fights back. There's a difference between 'visibly afraid' and 'panicking'.
* '''Played for Laughs''':
* '''Played for Drama''': While everyone's freaking out, the monster ends up severely injuring Alice.
