| Topic | Best of the Trope Season 2: Day 183 - Lights Off, Somebody Dies |
| GavsEvans123 06/21/19 5:20:23 PM #3: | Today's trope is Lights Off, Somebody Dies. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightsOffSomebodyDies This trope describes the basic situation where a story's characters are attending a Masquerade Ball, a dinner party, or any event with a sizeable amount of people in it, and the lights go out. Usually this is accompanied by screams, chaos and people trying to feel their way through the dark, but, more importantly, as soon as the lights come on someone is found to have been murdered in all of the commotion. The general reason for this trope is often to establish a mystery where, in the dark, anyone could have done it. TL,DR: The lights go out, and when they come back on, someone has been murdered. Self-explanatory today. Nominations: Weeping Angels (Doctor Who) Mr Boddy (Clue) Leela in "Tales of Interest" (Futurama) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
