It's a trope you've seen in basically every circus movie ever made.

Trick 'r Treat's Sam has much respect for Halloween traditions, but the film itself takes pleasure in subverting standard horror cliches.

Rey's The Rise of Skywalker monster scene subverts how Star Wars' heroes in the Disney Franchise usually interact with alien monsters.
