This troper warns others of incoming Unstoppable Rage through a Death Glare. It's very effective, possibly because she has striking, dark blue eyes and makes scary Slasher Smiles. Just today, some boys tried (and failed) to trip her in the hall... she kept walking forward but unwaveringly glared back at the boys. She opened her class's door so forcefully, it slammed against the wall. The boys looked a tad disturbed... hm, why?

>:(

One of the most umcomfortable experiences this troper has had was when once, at a dojo, one of the younger black belts came to sparring practice without his gear. When one of the instructors called him on it, he gave an excuse, and the instructor just death glared him in total silence for something like thirty seconds. This troper wasn't even on the receiving end and she wanted the earth to open up under her.

Being the Only Sane Woman in my class full of morons, I get to practice them a lot. Particularly when I get asked an incredibly stupid question. It's fun to watch them recoil with an, "Oh shit" look on their face.

This troper has a look when neutral that is, if not a death glare, at the very least a bullet-to-the-foot leer. When I'm really mad... well, my mouth can't really smile or frown (except when laughing, but I can't smile consciously.), but it becomes even more of a flat, emotionless line, and then I have piercing, slightly squinty blue eyes. I always, always win staredowns with people.

This troper, while a fire chief, had to deal with a pre-teen who had intentionally set a snowmobile on fire. Said kid's parents were trying to excuse it as a simple childish accident gone awry. Having been in a really bad mood for assorted reasons, I didn't want to lose my temper, but apparently the death glare came out and, within minutes, the kid was crying and promising never to do anything like it again and the parents were working out a deal to pay the owner for damages. A local police officer present asked if I could be borrowed next time they had an interrogation.

Isn't this practically a CrowningMomentOfAwesome?

An aspiring firefighter would like to meet you. Seriously.

You must teach me how.

This troper was once going to read a speech out for some friends. As she started the first line, one friend opened a can of soda with an especially loud ''crrrk!'' Apparently, not ''only'' did she unleash a truly horrifying DeathGlare, but turned her head around in an almost Exorcist-worthy fashion.

This troper, having a joking father, has used the DeathGlare too many times to count, and each time getting a comment about if her eyes were guns, he'd be dead.

Same with this troper, but also goes for a joking brother and friends (along with the occasional annoying one). Her brother often does what he does for the evil glare.

Are you me? This troper's father has remarked that her glare could drop horses dead in their tracks.

This Troper once completely inadvertently gave one to a woman at one of my old retail jobs. It was a super stressful time at a job I was fed up with enough that I was only weeks away from handing in my resignation. A woman walked in who loudly and very seriously announced that she was there to give us a problem, and launched into a tirade. Except after a couple of second of me looking at her she would stop or pause in the middle of sentences, and began nervously asking things like "You're not having a very good day, are you" and quickly moderated her tone. By the end of the interaction she was unconsciously flinching while I was very politely helping her. The fact that less than a week earlier I'd received a large gash right below my eye and the stitches were still in might have helped...- The Wanderer

Whoa, If that is not a CrowningMomentOfAwesome I dont know ''what'' is!

Do not ask stupid questions...

This Troper has, after significantly bad days, had his ''teachers'' back down from Death Glares when they try to get in to his business.

This troper, whom has a habit of wearing Nekomimi in public, of course, deals with smart-ass comments and the like a lot, (although she gets her fair share of compliments as well.). Some days, this troper can tell who's going to laugh and the like and who isn't, but if she's not in a good mood, ''everyone'' gets the DeathGlare. hath no fury like a weeaboo in a bad mood.

This troper once bought a cat collar, with a little bell on it, and came home wearing it. He got one of the biggest death stares in his life from his father.

Son I Am Disappoint

Hey, someone else who wears this stuff in public! I wear wolf ears, a collar, and a tail pretty much ''everywhere,'' including school. I get death glares all the time! :D

This troper's friend has a death glare that works on everyone /but/ this troper, who has spent so much time making funny faces with her little brother that she has an immediate response to start making faces whenever said friend attempts the death glare.

This troper has almost a ''permanent'' death glare, especially when he is pissed. Which he is often. .

This troper empathizes. Childhood depression in elementary school (yes, that young) left him with a permanent frown-shaped mouth (even when neutral emotionally), and he was born with sunken, "Benicio del Toro" eyes. Very often he merely looks bored or excessively tired, but he often gives death glares without meaning to. When asked by acquaintances how he accomplishes such an iconic stare, he replies, "I just tilt my head down and look out from under my eyebrows." Instant movie villain. On the bright side, I once used it on a canoe trip to scare off someone who interrupted my story by slapping me hard on my back and ribs at the same time. Pause. Glare. Glare. Glare. Person's smile slowly fades and he walks away sheepishly. Continue story. Instant {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}}.

While this troper is... well, ''way'' too shy to have a Death Glare, her father is a different story. His glare might not be that intimidating on its own, but he compounds it by talking in a very, very reasonable tone, and he does not back down until he gets what he's looking for. Employees get their managers, managers sweat and become conciliatory. This troper really wishes she was more like him.

This troper has an interesting story about one of these. During a class trip, his friend was messing around on the bus while another guy took a video. Later, when we were watching the video we noticed that he had accidentally bumped into one of the girls while messing around. We also noticed that she gave him the worst DeathGlare we had ever seen. When it came on the screen, we actually backed up about five feet from the computer because it was so scary. The "look of Death" became somewhat well known after that.

This troper has been cultivating a death glare to deal with the DOZENS of people trying to hand him leaflets on his way through downtown. Also, at work he's frequently asked whether he's pissed off or sleepy. Which is just confusing.

I have decided that I will give one of these when someone has done or said something too stupid to insult with words. I actually haven't had a chance to do it seriously yet. Often I end up doing a mock version of it and laugh during it.

This troper is usually cold and distant, yet keeps a helpful and polite demeanour. There have been exactly two times, however, when he has inadvertently and literally ''killed'' someone's joy just by looking at them, for no apparent reason (granted, this troper might have been in a bad mood at the time, but still...). They would be laughing or beaming with happiness, and then their eyes would meet this troper's. Their expressions would almost immediately turn into "Oh God, I think I died inside." faces. Needless to say, it filled this troper with soul-crushing guilt.

Once when this troper was but a wee little high school freshman on a "freshman firday," a group of juniors sat down at my lunch table (I had just moved there and thus didn't know anyone yet, although I don't usually make the attempt anyway) demanding that I let them "mark" me with the traditional magic marker "F." Now, I have been known to have a deep hatred of face-painting and other sort of body markings, so naturally I told them no. They insisted, saying it was a tradition, to which I replied it was also illegal without consent. About 15 seconds of a death stare eventually made them mutter "forget this kid" and leave. I call it a victory since when I was a junior freshman ''never'' got away with stuff like that

For this troper, it's a family joke. The "Go Die Now Look" is said to run in the family on the female side. Troper's mother uses it as a last resort in her job as a middle school teacher.

This troper ("Dialga") only uses it when arguing with his mother over schoolwork but it is accompanied with an oddly appropriate icy voice.

This troper's mother refuses to look at her in certain moods, and while young she would regularly beat her father in out-staring competitions because she would "put up a mirror, everything I push gets reflected back".

Touching this troper's D&D books without his permission will earn you this.

This troper, despite having the overall attitude of the helpful guy, has successfully stared down a particularly aggressive K9 at the Sheriff's Department where he interned.

This troper has it as his default expression. It generally keeps lesser life forms (other people) away, the problem is, I don't know how to turn it off. It's gotten to the point where my college ID picture could very easily be cut out and turned into a mugshot.

This troper supplements his death glare with costume lenses. It even works without direct eye contact!

This troper is incapable of doing a death glare, but is more than capable of outstaring people who can. During a convention, this slightly addled cosplayer bumps into me at full force, causing me to stumble back. This guy was 6'2 at the very least, and was dressed up like Kamina. For reasons I will never comprehend, he decided that it was my fault for getting in his way, so he demands I apologize and gives me one of the most intense death glares I have ever seen. Seriously, some of the people who were watching practically ran away because it was just so scary. I just stood there with an amused grin on my face, calmly staring back at the guy. This lasted for a good three minutes before he gave up and walked away. After he left, I sighed in relief and continued on my way.

This troper uses this all the time when he goes grocery shopping, as he does so at a particularly infamously crime-ridden neighborhood and figures if he looks creepy enough, no one will bother him.

This troper has used this for similar purposes. It served her quite well.

This troper's mother has all but perfected her stare, to the point that he and his brothers would refer to it as the Stare, with capitalization implied. We firmly believe that if she was angry enough, lasers would eventually fire out of her eyes and kill us instantly.

This troper's sister has said that their parents have glares that can make Chuck Norris cry.

Does that mean we get that cure for cancer?

This Troper has been on the receiving end of Death Glares on several occasions..which is a different problem. The best two came after: wearing a "Red Sox 2004 World Champions" t-shirt and hat in the middle of Penn Station, NY in the middle of the day, and after making a drunk-but-deserved comment to a girl who he was formerly interested in dating. Of course he didn't back down, but he definitely felt the icy breath of the Reaper on his shoulder. Fun times for all!

Sorry, I just had to tag NY for that story (I am a Sox fan).

ThisTroper (Draken) did this on accident to a photographer for his senior photos. The guy asked him to give the best serious look he can. So ThisTroper did. When the guy went to pick out the photo outta tha machine, the photographer AND his assisstant jumped back 6 feet. "Damn, kid, you look like you're about to kill us!" Best part? The photographer accidentally put that image on a RED background. ThisTroper still has the photo, and was disappointed when he couldn't put it as his picture in the yearbook.

Then there was another incident. He was working for a movie theater a year later, waiting for a movie to finish so he and a coworker could clean, and the coworker asked if he could see what ThisTroper looked like when he was angry. So he did. In the dark. Coworker nearly fainted. Had to sit down afterward.

This Troper has made people visibly uncomfortable when she turned her death glare on them. Strangely, my face, naturally stoic, doesn't really change. I express anger through my eyes. Then, there was a boy in my high school debate class. He had issues and often had a glare on his face. One day, I was talking to a classmate, and he looked over at us. Classmate, who was one of his best friends, was unaffected. I spent the rest of the year afraid of him. To his credit, he was more patient with me than some of the other classmates and actively worked at trying to convince me that he wasn't someone I needed to be afraid of.

This troper has had his Therapist ''talk'' to him about not distancing himself from other people with, quote, "That death look." Whoops...

This troper's mother has only ever struck her once, when she was twelve. Every other time before or since she didn't have to, because her glare can '''''solidify stomach acid'''''.

This troper is a little sensitive about her full name. Every other woman she meets has that name, including a few friends... so of course the occasional slip happens where someone accidentally calls her that. She has her friends well trained at this point. These days, they begin backpedalling ''before'' she gets to whip out the Death Glare.

Is your name Rachel? I have that name, and I sympathize with you, even if you don't, because I know what it's like to be in a hall, hear your name called out half a dozen times, and never have the shouts addressed towards you.

This Troper has been trying to perfect his own Death Glare for years, however he seems to do it accidentaly most of the time. Once when a van honked at him (turned out to be one of my friends trying to catch my attention) he turned around and practically scared the shit out of them (Or so they said) and another during his entrance exam to the uni, scaring a girl going to his same career (though we're really good friends now) also seems to happen whenever he takes an official photo (exception being his voting credential, though that one has another mistake altogether).

I haven't pulled off Death Glares, but I do have an immunity to them. Even from parents. The grin/rolleye I pull off incences them further. ^_^

Haha, ditto. I can't pull off one of my own, but other people's own don't affect me in the least bit. "Staring at me isn't going to change anything." or "When did this turn into a staring contest?" just pisses them off more... :D

This troper generally stares down New York City cab drivers, while crossing the street, and when it's the cabbie's light.

This troper's brother's expressions are all some version of death glare, except his crazy-killer-clown smile. It doesn't help that his emaciated appearance and dark, sunken eyelids make him look like a crack addict. Actually he's a really nice guy.

This troper had finally, after the best part of a year worked up the courage to talk to the girl he likes, and right at the point where he was going to ask her out, one of his other friends who was at the same place jumped into the conversation to ask about something trivial. The glare this troper gave that friend should have by rights left nothing but a scorsched silhoutte on the wall.

There's a dark grey, shaggy cat that this troper's neighbours own who, whenever he's out on their front lawn, will glare at anyone pulling into our driveway. Now I could just put this down to typical feline arrogance and that he's just glaring at the car; but I swear, when I pull in, he's not glaring at the car; he's glaring through the windscreen and right at ME. It's not an ordinary look to see what's happening; it's a full-on, narrowed-eyes, head-slightly-tilted-down, "how-DARE-you-do-that" DeathGlare.

Now that this troper thinks about it though; it might be because he knows what's about to happen: our automatic garage door opening. That may not sound like much, but it hasn't been oiled in a while and when it opens; it opens with the screech of the damned.

This troper works in the retail business and is generally complimented on how nice and helpful he is. However, it appears I have a very potent Death Glare. It was late and a customer was being downright rude to another cashier, basically calling her stupid and laughing about it. He accidentally makes eye contact with me and I'm NOT happy at that point in time with him. He stops laughing and doesn't talk for the rest of the order.

This troper becomes extremely irritable around the holidays. I don't hate them, and I actually celebrate and take pride in choosing gifts for people. The irritable gets worse and worse as Christmas Day approaches, to the point where last-minute shopping is accomplished by dragging me to a store, and putting me in front with my DeathGlare to cut a path through the rest of panicked shoppers.

This troper, although a PungeonMaster herself, will often combine the DeathGlare with her most deadpan expression when a friend of hers makes a particularly terrible pun. Especially effective if the pun maker in question is not in her line of view, in which case she can execute the slow turn of the head, completely serious expression, and a 500-megawatt DeathGlare. This is rarely intended to be serious, however, and more for comedic effect to show exactly how terrible the joke was. She can usually keep it up around seven seconds before both parties burst into laughter.

My 4th grade teacher had the closest thing to a death glare you will ever see. I hope, even if you are a murdrer, that you don't, because no one deserves to see it, heck not any 4th grader. It made one kid faint in front of the whole class when she gave him the stare because he got a wrong awnser. That kid is usually pretty solid, too.

This troper does this by accident, but can never do it intentionally. He instead just raises an eyebrow, which seems to intimidate people often enough.

Teaching runs in the female side of this troper's family. Pity him, therefore, when he makes an inappropriate remark at a family get-together. Eight SIMULTANEOUS death-glares. O.O "I'll be good".

This Troper has one the can make her siblings cower. And her friends. Her father also has one of these supposedly. She has never noticed her father's and dosn't find her's that scary. Go figure.

This troper's best death glare ever happened by accident. He had been waiting in a long line at the DMV to renew his license plates and the clerk, who had no way of knowing that the troper was recovering from a rather painful extraction of all four wisdom teeth (the painkillers, they do nothing!), cracked a joke in an attempt to cheer him up. Being utterly incapable of smiling at the time without serious pain, he just looked at the clerk and saw her face go from smiling to "oh my god, please don't kill me" in under a second. He did feel a bit bad since it was unintentional.

This troper has been accused of making Death Glares for no reason at people. He thinks this is because his eyes are so sensitive to bright light, making him alternatively squint or glare without even noticing. It gets troublesome when people get either angry or disturbed by his entirely unintended antics.

This troper has the tendency to give Death Glares to idiots. This thankfully (most of the time) results in them shutting up.

Kind of a subversion: I don't ''glare'', exactly, as much as just stare at people who are irritating me for long periods of time, without breaking eye contact. This makes them very uncomfortable and is actually quite fun.

I hug anyone who gives me a death glare. I can't help it. My brother would death-glare me anytime he needed a hug and it just... comes naturally? '''Subversion.'''

This troper has the piercing ice-blue type eyes. Sometimes a simple look makes people around him subconsciously shiver. The fact that his eyes are deeply seated enough to be completely in shadow in natural lighting conditions (i.e. light from above) doesn't hurt at all. After he noticed it, he used this look on purpose, with great success.

According to friends, this troper has ''three'' types of death glares. One is dubbed the "L" glare because I take on the stance and the freaky wide-eyed look of the character, another is the "official" death glare that sometimes includes a disturbing eye twitch, and the third is apparently a simple narrowing of the eyes...but they said there's something about it that scares the hell out of them.

This troper's neutral face is a hairbreadth from being a death glare, thus making intentional death glares quite frightening. Well, he discovered at Halloween Horror Nights 2008 that makeup heavily amplifies the effect. After getting his face painted to resemble the Joker (Heath Ledger version), he could make people so scared by his appearance that they would refuse to even look at him. He, of course, took advantage of this and actually attempted to scare some people as the scareactors did. He even worked with the scareactors a few times, and three times had his picture taken with his victims.

This troper's been on the receiving end of a large-scale death glare. He plays in the pep band at school, and at one particular basketball game the opposing team's cheerleaders had the most obnoxious free-throw mess-up chant (it consisted of the entire squad stomping out a rhythm and chanting "Miss it, miss it!" in the most irritatingly shrill voices ever). Troper decided to tell the ''entire pep band'' to copy the chant for the next time the opposite team had a free throw. When said throw came around, cue a band of 40 people standing up and copying the chant '''exactly'''. If the glare we got from those cheerleaders had been lasers, Troper was told later by his conductor, there would have been a 40-foot smoking crater on our end of the gym, with a few burned-up instruments scattered about.

People have fainted. Seriously. ''Groups'' of large men have jumped back and/or run away. This troper is 5'1" and wears pigtails. You do the math.

This troper is immune to "death glares", and doesn't see what the big deal is.

This troper fails miserably at death glares, however, she ''was'' in a production of Much Ado About Nothing once. The kid playing Don John was a charming and easygoing guy, with a death glare that made being onstage with him ''terrifying''. This troper was ALWAYS onstage with him. This guy made a little boy ''cry'' at a performance by glaring. Otherwise he's a pretty cool dude, though.

This troper remembers having to read one of her original poems to her 8th grade English class. Just as she opened her mouth, a smartass nerd in the front row interrupted her. Cue Exorcist-style head turning, a Death Glare, and said nerd promptly shutting up. And all of this was ''videotaped.''

This troper was able to drive people literally up the wall with her death glare. Granted, her death glare was not a few-second long event--it was typically a 45 min (or however long the class was) "I want you to drop dead" glare.

This troper had had a particularly bad day where she'd learnt a family secret and that everyone she knew had been lying to her for 2 years. She came in to school and when the Headteacher, who was also in on said secret, asked why she was late, she tried to smile crookedly before giving up and glaring "I learnt about something my Dad did." He froze and she ''turned her back on him'' to go to her classroom. Later on, when she entered the classroom (it was homeroom) all her classmates instantly backed up and began asking with mildly panicked expressions what they'd done wrong.

This here Troper has a stare that REALLY creeps out certain people. Combine Mr. Burns with Artemis Fowl.That's my stare.

I thought every mother had one of these. Mine has a particularly creepy one, because, due to her green eyes, you can ''see'' her pupils contract slightly.

My eyes do that, too. It's pretty frightening, even to me.

Obligatory aversion: This troper's mother does not have a DeathGlare. She's a good, kind person and that shows in her face, whether she likes it or not. She compensates with a sharp tongue when need be and can cause the same effects as a DeathGlare with speech or writing.

This troper does so unconsciously whenever he is being reprimaded, interrupted or basically anything that would cause temporary dislike within a person. He has apparently never been able to artificially recreate it in front of a mirror, but his parents have dubbed it his "serial killer look", a classmate once said that it was a look that could turn people to stone, and this troper knows of at least one teacher (and apparently there were others when I was younger) who tried to get him labeled as a problem child based chiefly on this subconscious death glare. This troper tries his very best not to get very angry at people as a result.

This (19-year-old) troper has pretty much given up hope of inheriting his father's death glare, which has been known to cause flies to explode.

Not a typical death glare, this quiet troper is known for hers because it's so glaringly obvious to her friends that she means business when it comes out. When she gets angry, she goes past the petty violence stage and into real rage. She had one friend totally terrified of her for quite a while, because she was convinced she'd kill her in her sleep.

{{Excel-2009}}. A good way to make a kid sorry he bumped into you in a public area is to quickly move your head to about 5cm away from theirs with eyes wide open and an otherwise blank expression. Try not to blink or make any sounds for maximum effect. I could only get the kid to cry, but if anyone manages to do this and make them soil themselves, I will tattoo your name on my right arm.

MY name is CJ and I, although I'm a fragile 100 lb 4'9" girl in a wheelchair, once made one of my peers (a youmg man in 10th grade who has like a foot and probably 60lbs on me) piss his pants. I had been in classes with him and his group of idiotic friends for years. They did not bully me per say more like annoyed the hell out of me, starting anew each day. One day I had enough and glared from the corner of my eye at him for a few minutes, all while doing my work, before slowly (you could hear my neck popping) methodically turning my head so Icould fully glare at him all the while getting this Heath Ledger Joker-esque grin on my lips. He jumped and a big wet spot formed in his pants as we all saw this yellow liquid trinkle out of his seat and onto the carpet. Although he left me alone for a week or so, idiocy dies hard and soon he began annoying me again.

This troper's father seldom had to say DontMakeMeTakeMyBeltOff. He would just give you this look from over the top of his glasses that said you were five seconds away from getting a piece of his waistline.

This troper used to do this to bullying classmates back in gradeschool. The kids would say "Ooh,Edith's giving you the evil eye!" or"The Edith Eye!" I just condesed all my loathing and bitterness for them into my eyes and shot it like a laser into thier souls though their eyes. i got better--after i left that shithole. she did this to another guy in highscool after he had whipered a slur that shocked his bullying friends and the girl sitting beside him confirmed it with a numb nod.The look i gave them made his buddies cringe back and pale. he refused to look me in the eye. I restrained myself fantastically so.

Once at school, this troper was in a particularly bad mood, so when she heard some Libbies talking about her during recess, she whipped out one of these. They ran away.

This troper has two different glares. One isn't really a glare, it's more of a "Surely you jest" look that I use whenever someone either says or does something stupid. The other I only use whenever someone mixes up my name with my brother's and it's more of a "Try again or I will kill you where you stand" look. There was also this one time my freshman year when I was repeatedly being interrupted doing something (I think it was reading) by two girls. When one of them tapped me on the shoulder I snapped my head around and fixed them with a death glare, along with a loud "WHAT?" that made them jump back in their seats.

My mother also has one, which she accompanies by baring her teeth.

I can't manage a death glare, but I do have one hell of a deadened, vacant stare, that can be easily combined with a deranged smile. If you want to avoid talking to someone, seriously, just slowly turn to face them with a giant SlasherSmile and glassy eyes.

This Troper has ADHD. Since my eyes are not always focused on say, the person I'm talking to, when I DO look at them it appears I'm staring right through them. This is completely unintentional and I have no want to kill anyone (yet).

This troper and a ladyfriend he was busy seducing shared the dreaded Simultaneous Two-Person DeathGlare at a friend of hers who decided it'd be a nice time to break up the little liaison-in-the-works.

This troper({{Dark Lady Celebrian}})'s guardian, Lightning, is a master of this. You can tell how angry she is by looking at her eyes and how much she's narrowed them..at her angriest her eyes are basically just little slits. Lightning likes to brag about how you better run if her eyes start to narrow. There is a scene or two in her game where you can see her infamous narrow-eyed death glare as well, at its mildest.

This troper doesn't exactly have a death glare per se, considering the fact that I really don't know if it could be considered one at that. Actually there are two types of glares I am known for; the quizzical stare which I give when someone says something stupid and then there's the one where I have a psychotic/malicous light in my eyes as well as what could count as Technically a Smile. The latter one I have been giving off more and more which causes people to camly ask, "What the hell are you thinking and why should I not be worried at all?"

This troper has spent a large amount of time in JROTC and can tell you from having been on the business end of like 15 of these, that anyone in the military and JROTC who is in any position of power has developed a death stare capable of inducing a moderate form of paralysis in lower ranking soldiers/cadets. When I was still in the program, our SAI had one that made a car thief from TEXAS stop in his tracks and make a strange noise not unlike a dying cat. I even perfected one, which while not too potent is enough to scare the shit out of anyone who does not know him. (Works better if you are carrying a blunt object.)

This troper has sent complete strangers gibbering in asking for forgiveness with their Death Stare.

This troper really, really likes giving people death glares. When I'm bored, I look around for anyone staring in my general direction to glare down. It seems to work subconsciously, so the victims often end up looking terrified with no idea what just happened. I once gave a camera a death glare when my picture was being taken, and upon getting the picture back, recoiled in fear from being stared down by ''myself''. I also made an eyeball pin, and wear it on a daily basis, just so I can have three eyes to give people the death glare with (and if my actual eyes are busy, there's still one unblinking eye there to stare down anyone). And it works.

This troper was once being nagged about some inane thing by the stupidest teacher she has probably ever met, and while trying to assume a nonchalant look on the outside, imagined that her eyes were lasers, boring through the woman's head. The teacher actually turned around and asked her to stop, please.

Though not really a glare, this troper has been known to give a look that has frightened several friends and family members. And apparently this look is somewhat genetic because several women on my Mum's side have a death glare like this, too.

This Troper has very pale blue eyes. This seems to come in handy when she wants to perform an effective DeathGlare. Once, a particular classmate was being extremely irritating. My response was just to sit there, looking at her, for as long as I could without blinking. After about ten seconds of this, she was whimpering and hiding behind other students' desks. This incident was immensely satisfying.

This Troper isn't all that intimidating to first look at. I'm scrawny, pale, pretty much a wimp. I have a sharp tongue, but you wouldn't know it from looking at me. Well, I realized that I even HAD a death glare just this summer, during a festival. I was walking around with my friend, who mentioned that her ex-boyfriend might be walking around near us. I absolutely HATE her ex. And she knows it. I hated him from the first moment I met him. And the dislike was mutual, since he constantly threw insults at me. (Insults so vulgar, I wouldn't dare post them here.) However, my friend was still friends with her ex's sister. Eventually, we did run into him there, and since his sister was with them, she mostly ignored him and talked to his sister. I immediately recognized the situation and fixed him with a single, lingering glare that pretty much said "I still hate every last ounce of you." Cue to him excusing himself to go get a drink...and not coming back until I'd left.

This troper sadly slips into this often without noticing (parents never bothered correcting it) and has earned a lot of enemies this way despite being a ridiculously nice girl(possibly to make up for all the death glaring?

So there's this girl at my university who lives in the same building as me. I once unsuccessfully asked her out, but we remained friends. The rest of her GirlPosse, however, intensely distrusts me for no adequately explored reason & greets me with Death Glares whenever I encounter any of them. Normally I can shrug off things like that, but the frequency of triple-glares makes my friend totally unapproachable unless they aren't around.

DEFCON 1: At Sea Cadets Boot Camp, I was protesting to my company officer (he was present at the company commander, assistant company commander, and master-at-arms were somewhere else) about the behavior of my shipmate. What happen next was that he stormed over to me, stared me directly in the face (you know how it goes in the movies), and asked me if I was his drinking buddy. I said no. He said that, as an officer, he demands to be treated with respect. I got my company extra PT (after another tongue-lashing from the boot camp coordinator, who basically said the same thing as the officer, except the ACC, CC, and MMA were present and we were at GQ). For the life of me, I doesn't remember saying anything offensive - I'm pretty sure the officer misheard me, probably thinking I said his first name or something or other, or maybe my choice of words (the entirety of which, I only remember saying "But-!" in an annoyed tone. Hmm.)

This Troper supposedly has one. BlindingBangs, {{Evil Eye}}s and a nice SlasherSmile mix well. Strabismus causing my bangs to not affect my eyesight noticeably helps.

Mild example. This troper has frightened children away with these while in a bad mood.

This troper's grandfather has what is not so much a DeathGlare as a "YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry Look", peering sternly over the tops of his glasses. When we were younger, all of us kids were terrified of it. However, once we were old enough to wear glasses (everyone in my family starts needing glasses by the age of eight or twelve), we began imitating it, to the point of having DeathGlare Contests with Grandpa, the winner being the one who managed to keep from laughing longest. Grandpa always won.

Apparently my DeathGlare is both menacing and adorable.

As told by This Troper in the BigLippedAlligatorMoment troper tales page, her guitar teacher started randomly singing the 'One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other Thing' song from SesameStreet. Troper only shut him up using one of these, and the moment has not been spoken of since. She also loves doing this to little kids to intentionally scare the fuck out of them. It's unbelievably fun.

This troper was once on the receiving end of a terrifying Death Glare at the hands (eyes?) of an otherwise kind, sweet girl who happens to hate him (or at least, did at the time). The Death Glare was prompted by a comment that was intended in a friendly, joking manner ("Oh, because ''Julianne'' moved it..."). The incident has since become famous among this troper's friends because of the sheer terror it induced in him, how it highlights the girl's intense dislike of him, and how ''nice'' she is otherwise.

This troper's death glare apparently runs in the family. He can get just about anyone to back down, and strangely never gets the pitches about 'extended warranties'. His father has an equal glare, compounded by the fact that he's 6' 5" and built like a truck. Muggers would probably whimper an apology and walk away slowly.

This troper has a particularly funny one, or at least it's hilarious to the victim. It's so degrading.

Once this troper was walking through town and came across some idiot who was "busking" I put that in speech marks because all that he was doing was standing around shouting insulting things at people walking by (he still had a hat out for money for some reason). When I approached he started to sing at me (if you can call it that) "you're a dodgy bastard, you're a dodgy bastard!" I was tired and gave him a death glare that immediately made him shut the hell up (perhaps that was because when I looked I imagined myself side kicking him in the face) and he stayed very, very quite for along time afterward, once I walked past I muttered under my breath "good for me."

I was just finishing up in the toilet when I heard a knock at the door. Quickly, I went to open it to see a Labour Party canvasser. I do NOT like politicians. I didn't appreciate hurrying just so I can be greeted by this slick, friendly public face of a backstabbing powermonger. And I DEFINITELY didn't want to answer the door with my belt undone. Just as he started into his spiel, "Hi, I'm from the-" Glare. Slow shake of head. His winning smile slipped. "Did- did I disturb you?" Glare. "Um... uh... Sorry. Bye!" The funny part? I hadn't registered, so I couldn't have voted anyway.

{{Fishsicles}} here has a rather nasty one when provoked. Anything that beeps or rings is the traditional target (RingRingCRUNCH is a tad uncivilized), but it has been used on people in the past. <,<. Considering my normal demeanor, and the fact that I accompany it with a variation of the Gendo pose, I can understand why it frightens smal children. All I want to do now is figure out how to make my glasses into a 128-alpha one-way mirror.

While watching his wedding video with the new wife and mother in law, I started giving it the MST3K Treatment. Dual Death Glares, to be sure.

I delivered a rather powerful death glare to a couple of my cousins at a recent family gathering after they wound up bouncing a big rubber ball right into my face, which then smacked my open laptop (mercifully unharmed). They got out an 'ohhhh... sorry' with wide eyes. I keep glaring and they ran up the stairs and I didn't see them again the whole time I was there.

This troper has one, and unleashes it when he hits his limit, but his has NOTHING on a girl he knew from middle school, all the way through to graduation, who had a DeathGlare To End All Death Glares. When I'm not trying to kill people, I'm actually very entertaining, but I'm not exactly... smart, or subtle. So naturally whenever I began with my usual schtick, I would of course say something mildly offensive around her and out come the claws. Oh, and this girl? Tall, blonde, blue-eyed ballet dancer/violinist. ... Hey, I aim '''high'''.

During high school, this troper was once made a target of a game the jocks occasionally play to "celebrate one's birthday", essentially singing you a birthday song while they take a couple of cheap shots with their fists using a numerical advantage to make sure you can't properly retaliate (the fact that it was hardly ever the target's birthday didn't seem to bother them). For whatever reasons, I was in a fairly confrontational mood at the time, and rather then running away like most people targeted, I got up, slammed my fists toghether, switched to fighting stance, and put on an expression suggesting I was getting ready to rip their thorats open with my bear hands (being rather tall, fit, and unshaved for a nerd helped). The next time I was targeted for that particular annoyance, I put on the same expression, and the initiating jock couldn't actually get anyone in the room to join him, allowing me to use him to practice a rather nasty choke hold. Since then, I began taking martial arts lessons (some of which just so happen to take place in a square at the center of town in plain view), and now many of them are afraid to do as much as look at me funny.

This Troper managed to look like someone just about standing up and killing everyone on the class photographs for the last four years of school. She manages to shut up every single student at her school, starting from the scary nerds up to the super cool footballer by one look which lead some guys to call her Samara. She admits, though, that she practiced the glare for three or four months in front of the mirror. But therefore it works perfectly. Especially if she looks at you under your pony.

This troper likes to greet his friends with these. Usually accompanied with a pointing finger and a growl of "YOU."

This Troper has often been told that his eyes seem to go from blue to black when he is angry; and has often been told "That look could kill." Although it has an amost 100% sucess rate in getting people to shut up, I can only do it when angry and never intentionally

This troper, due to being exactly the opposite of obese, combined with naturally sunken eyes, can achieve a death glare that actually made one of my classmates lose control of his bodily functions. I wasn't even trying.

I also used it on a co-worker who was being a jerkass. Combined with a precision F strike, he suddenly switched to happy and cheerful and nice to the point where it started to be creepy. Fortunately (or not) this effect wore off overnight. I'm considering doing it again next time.

This Troper's neutral expression ''is'' a death glare (considering his crazy eyes and inability to smile or frown), but it is especially prominent when he's pissed off to a considerable degree. Considering his "surrounded by idiots" mentality (which ''is'' partially justified), this is fairly often.

This troper loathes it when people steal her hats, and when a (doomed) young man innocently decided that a great way to get her attention was to do just that and then run away, laughing, she decided to get into a habit of practicing a through-the-eyebrows Death Glare/Slasher Smile combo in the bathroom mirror every morning. She perfected it. Nowadays, no one takes her hat after just one time on the receiving end.

This troper is infamous for them, and once made someone fall over backwards with one. I'm deadly serious.

This teenage troper dislikes going out. It's aggravating enough to have to go to a therapist every other week even though she said this troper might not need it anymore (it's required to get her ADHD meds), but if her ditzy mother winds up taking her on the wrong day/at the wrong time (it's happened) and the therapist can't just see us then (again, it's happened), this troper will turn her head Exorcist-style and give her mother one of these looks. She's also developing a habit of giving her mother one of these every time her mother interrupts her while she's talking (which happens a ''lot'')

When this troper gets in an ill mood, he gets a DeathGlare. It really pisses his mum off when she's on the receiving end. Also, I once did it to a customer who lost his temper at me. he told me "If you glare at me again, You'll regret it." I told him if he threatened me again, I'd call the cops.

This troper has a permanent DeathGlare regardless of her mood (she's usually pretty happy or at least neutral). She really, really, ''really'' does not want it and is trying to offset it with haircuts and makeup.

I'm the kind of people to avoid eye contact... usually. When I'm annoyed, sad, or plain angry, I'll be constantly using DeathGlares to make the people in front of me back off, often with successful results. As an example, I spend around 6 hours in a day helping someone moving house - carrying heavy things, and just at the end, a heavy box falls... Lucky as I always am, it falls on my foot. And I see my stepbrother howling in laughter. I slowly face him and glare him to death while saying calmly "Is there something funny or are you just laughing to yourself ?" He answered "I was laughing to myself, of course... !" in a very nervous voice. Of course, I'm a TechnicalPacifist who (almost) never loses his cool, but he didn't know that !

Another example. I was in vacation at my father's house, and was going to return to my mother's next day. Then my step-cousin arrives and tells me "So you're leaving tomorrow, heh ?" I simply answer "Yes." in a tone that means "what about it ?" and look into her eyes intensely. She simply laughs nervously and exits the room quickly. Yeah, I do those quite often

This troper's way of telling people that she's pissed with them (unless she's really, amazingly, murderously pissed) is to stare, unblinkingly at them. I can keep this up for up to ten minutes, and, even if that person looks down, I keep it up so that when they look up again, there's a creepy girl about a foot taller than them (short year, huge me) wearing a black trenchcoat staring unblinkingly at them. It has actually caused... let's see now... seven people to run away from me. Hah.

This Troper is a nice, shy girl who rarely is seen pissed off.But try.The strongest mind of my family, my uncle, froze in fear, and after that he always says that "the girl was possessed".

This Troper is incapable of performing her Death Glare on cue. However, she does have a look of evil for said circumstances, which basically implies that the victim is reaching a level of unprecedented stupidity. Her actual Death Glare is... well, my family members are immune to it, apparently, and they're really the only people that tick me off to the extent that I end up using it. So I don't know if it's terrifying or not.

This troper has studied animals, under the belief that humans are just as animal as they. Monkeys don't smile, they just show their teeth. It's a "go away now or I'll hurt you" look. So my Death Glare is raising my eyebrows slightly to show a little white above my eye, and smiling without moving any muscles other then my mouth. What people end up seeing is someone smiling at them. But what their brain is seeing is, "HOLYSHITHESGONNAEATUSRUNRUNNOW!" It doubly helps that I'm normally a very polite but reserved person.

This 13 year-old Troper practiced the Death Glare as a child. After trying to figure out the best way to add a bit of flair to hers, she thought she could contract her pupils. Her default face is always semi-lidded, pupils enlarged to almost cover the iris, to convey that L-esque look in her eyes. The fact that her eye colour is almost inderterminable (it really depends on the lighting, but they tend to look like light shades of blue, grey, or green) adds to the effect. Once she puts on the Death Glare, the light hits her pupils like a ton of bricks, and they shrink dramatically. The Glasses definitely help out a bit. She has used this glare to its full effect, and shows no signs of stopping. A child staring at you with such intense hatred, added effect of Scary Shiny Glasses, plus not being able to accurately describe them?

This troper's friends now joke that her Death Glare can kill people. Also, people complain that I am "shredding their soul" with my eyes. Compounded by the fact that if I can't keep a straight face I give a Slasher Smile. Also, TT's eyes are either yellow-amber or green so they glow if sunlight hits them and you can see the pupils contract. I have had peoeple run away. Let's also mention that I am small, delicate looking girl and look very sweet and cute, so the Glare of Death takes people by surprise.

This Troper is a really nice person... but I can give a DeathGlare like no one else. I have a 6'2" male friend who is a black belt in karate and jujitsu, and I can make him cower. It helps that mom is a teacher, dad is a soldier, and I'm the oldest of four. ^_^

When agitated, this troper (Thexare) can have a very effective Death Glare. Not only has it, without fail, gotten a four year old cousin to stop misbehaving, it has worked on a young screaming child he has never seen before (somewhere in the 2-3 year old range) - the kid was dead silent for the next fifteen minutes. Sadly, it's not very reliable, and it doesn't work on adults very often.

This troper, like many on this page, can't do a Death Glare on cue. I tend to be the quiet person in the back of the room that just wants to be left alone. So one day during my senior year in high school I'm in my English class (which I hated with a passion) and I go up to the front of the room to make a presentation for something, when this kid that sat in the front of the class who I barely knew, cheered out encouragement to me in a kind of annoying manner. I was apparently in a bad mood that day, because I shot him a glare that made him recoil and shut up. As I was walking back to my seat when I was finished with my presentation, I heard him mutter to the person next to him "She stared into my soul man...". I was more proud of getting that reaction out of him than getting through my presentation.

This troper has always been a quieter, more stoic kid. I've never felt particularly angry or anything like that, but ever since third grade, people have been asking me if something's wrong, because I look like I'm "about to kill someone".

I was once in an improv class when somebody made a reference to Monty Python, and a classmate said they'd never heard of it. Do you know anyone whose DeathGlare has caused about half an improv class to approach him as if he were about to eat a classmate's liver? Other than me, of course. (In truth, I wasn't feeling murderous, just incredulous. Honestly, who the hell signs up for a comedy class without having heard of the classics?)

My BFF can do a quite effective DeathGlare, and it works best when she's tired. But if she's tired, she's not even aware that she's doing it half the time. One time when were 11, and we'd stayed up all night, we were staring at this teen boys who were acting like idiots. They looked up. They saw me. They saw my BFF. They shut up instantly.

Whenever this troper is thinking of something is (in his mind) serious, such as the climax of a plotline in one of his fanfics, he unconsciously adopts this look. I actually had a girl walk up to me and ask me what I was angry about (at the time I was planning out a battle close to the end of a ''{{Pokemon}}'' story I'm writing, where the protagonist is battling Cynthia.)

Some of my favorite moments in life has been seeing people do what they assume is a 'death glare' and laughing directly in their face. Almost no one can pull this off, but 99% of people think they can. So... uh, this would be a subversion? Although, some people can do it as very specific moments when they're dangerous. My dad once did this in the dark. Only one, but he gets points for doing it with almost zero lighting. I think the biggest part of the death glare is the circumstances in which it is given.

This troper cannot do the glare on cue. But she, as well as her mother and brother, has a very effective glare when she's pissed. Someone directly pointed out that I have what she refered to as the "Family Glare" (well, substitute the word family for this Troper's last name.) I insisted I didn't know what she was talking about, but she kept pestering me about it and I got kind of mad... At which point she yelled "Aaaah, there it is!" And afterwards immediately clammed up.

This lil' troper is usually fun and bubbly, but when mad is extremely quiet. Death Glares from this 15 year old troper have been known to freeze three full grown Seniors looking for trouble in their tracks. The addition of a raised eyebrow had them hightailing it out of there.

I've been told I have a Death Glare. At my last regular job, any time a certain bigwig was scheduled to show, I was told to take a day off because after the DG I gave him at our first encounter, they were afraid I would haul off and deck him. (He shouldn't have called me "sweetie". Especially not in THAT tone of voice.) On another occassion, I was walking home from work after a Bad Day. It was drizzling and cold, and I was aching all over, and I was close to the end of a three mile walk. Cue the drunk fratboy types, who start to laugh and head toward me. I don't stop walking, but my hand clenches around my walking stick (5+ feet of rock maple) and I slowly lift my head and LOOK at them. They freeze, and one of them says, "Holy shit, she's gonna kick our ass!" They take off in another direction at speed, and I smile all the way home.

The most effective DeathGlare this troper has ever felt the effects of was from his 11th-grade AP English teacher. It wasn't so much an angry, I'll-kick-your-ass glare as a level, unamused stare that had the side effect of making the target's soul wither and die inside of them.

This troper is quite TheStoic, and his DeathGlare is thus as dispassionate as a DeathGlare can be. When he doesn't want to be bothered, for any reason, he will simply look at those who bother him/stand in his way/hurt him with an empty, cold and bored look (picture yourself Ulquiorra from {{Bleach}}) that means ''"You're not even worth to face my wrath... but don't push it."'' It works... pretty well, to say the least.

This Troper does this unintentionally. People can't stand eye contact with me for more than a few seconds, as they usually tell me in some manner that I give the 'Gonna kill you and enjoy it' look. I've tried making it less so, since it's kind of shitty for picking up girls...and having any conversation for that matter.

This troper can only do a decent one when she's in the grip of TranquilFury. If she tries at any other time, she just manages to look like she either has a migraine or is smelling something she doesn't like.

This troper's brother has a middle school teacher who is immortal for his death glares. If a student misbehaves, he spends the remainder of the class staring murderously, probably unblinkingly, at him or her, even at the expense of writing on the board turned away from it.

I'm not sure if cats have any other way of looking but the death glare. Sure, they might hesitate while you're awake and have access to weapons, but they'll give you the look anyway and bide their time. Then one night, you wake up to her staring at your neck, stalking at your artery, and you can't be sure that if you hadn't woken up she wouldn't have torn your neck apart like the exceptionally expensive furniture you bought because you thought the toys would distract her enough so she wouldn't scratch the furniture. You were wrong in the latter case, how can you be sure about this one? Once she realises you've woken up, she'll give you the ''look'' again. Perpetually. Until she finally succeeds. Evil bastard.

I suppose this was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, because otherwise you appear to be not only paranoid as hell but also afraid of animals that are genuinely harmless (assuming your cat isn't psychotically agressive). The reason cats appear to give humans Death Glares is because ''that is the way they always look at things'' -- including you. If they're also opening and closing their eyes slowly when they look at you like that they are actually telling you '''they love you'''.

This troper (Seiryu) ''can'' do the death glare on demand, but I chose not to. I think of it as the facial expression of a PrecisionFStrike; when it's used, people take it seriously. It helps that I have pretty good vocal control, and know several lines that can seriously help accent the glare. Namely, "Is that the direction you want this conversation to go?"

This Troper has found that he has a VERY intimidating mess-with-me-and-I'll-hit-you look. I just haven't found the time and place to actually use it effictively.

This Troper believes that he inherits this little trope from my mother's side of the family. My mother and a few of her siblings already possess a commanding presence of authority. Especially my mom, since she has very short fuse. As for me? I'm not like her; I can get frustrated at times, but never angry. Enough provocation, however, and I seem to play this trope straight. For example, I know a former "acquaintance" of mine who at first, was quite amiable has turned out to be quite a dick. Normally, I would not be too bothered by misanthropic tendencies and eventually move on with life like I never met the guy in the first place. Not so in this guy's case; You see, we're both students at our college, have similar majors, and use mostly the same facilities, so I am bound to see him frequently, with the biggest difference being that I do not live in the school's dorms, but in an apartment JUST outside of the school. I did nothing to earn this guy's disdain, but for whatever reason, he decides to make me his verbal punching bag, try to turn friends we both have in common against me, and muscle me out of facilities (Especially the public game room in the dorms that is open to ALL students, dorm residents or no) that he feels entitled to use instead of a non-resident who is "mooching". I could only deal with his antics for so long before tiring of it and very kindly telling him that I've enough, using both this trope, and the Reason You Suck Speech. Now mind you, he's taller than me and appears to be more built, but even without seeing his strength, I know that he is only a coward holding up a self-righteous and haughty facade. As for me? I'm an unassuming 5'7 with no real background in Martial Arts training, but I have the build and temperament to handle an actual fight, and knowledge in both techniques and areas where to apply force on the human body. In spite of all this, and me very clearly establishing that it is in his best interest to not provoke me, he still continues to be a self-entitled douchebag, only this time continuing his acts if he could very easily get away with it and has something to gain from it all. He still is pushing his luck though., as I have hinted to him that I've had ALOT of opportunities to hurt him both verbally and physically, and came close on multiple occasions.

This troper knew a guy who *could* do it on cue. I'd walk up with a cheerful smile and say something like, "Good morning! Disapproving Glare!!!" and he'd pin me with a death glare, no matter what mood he was in. I'd still be intimidated even though I knew he was doing it on cue. Bonus intimidation if I actually was interrupting whatever he was doing. Though sometimes he couldn't maintain it for more than a few seconds as we'd both dissolve into laughter.

This she-Troper apparently fails at pulling these off, although there are different names for them. Heard a DeathGlare be called "Crusties"...although said she-Troper prefers "pulling a Medusa."

This new Troper just got to be known for the sole purpose of sharing his one single "true" Deathglare, the certified version: It was classes (German) and some schoolmate was making fun of how I would totally love to to this particular task (which I wasn't reluctant to do in general, just that guy was annoying me to hell and beyond that time). When our teacher (an otherwise great one and up to date still one of the few teachers I genuine like) picked right on that one, the deed happened. To picture it: I was sitting at the long side of the room, vertically from the teachers point of view, having my gaze (tried Deathglare!) focused on said schoolmate. My head was resting in my palm, whose rest of the arm again was resting with the elbow on the table, effectively almost sealing my face from my teachers sight with only the glimps of my eyes being visible to him. The gaze itself was already enough to unease said schoolmate, but when the teacher came with: "Ja, eine nette Idee. Was halten sie davon uns dies einmal vorzuführen Herr Jakob? / Yes, a nice idea. What do think about showing us Mr. Jakob?". I simply turned my gaze from the schoolmate towards the teacher, practically "overturning" them to look in his eyes with the feeling of "Not you too" and was somewhat surprised for my teacher backing down and even telling "Whoa, habt ihr diesen Blick gesehen? Purer Hass sage ich euch, purer Hass! / Whoa, did you see that look? Pure hatred I tell you, pure hatred!" Ironically, we became to understand us better since that moment.

This troper does this unintentionally. She rarely shows emotion, and is sleep-deprived, so her eyes are half lidded almost all the time. She has often caused people to back away slightly by unintentionally glaring at them. Ironically, this troper is very shy, a bookworm, and very nice once she gets over her shyness.

This troper, when in a particularly bad mood, can create these easily. Sadly, by this point, he is usually considering murder, so training himself to do these normally would be impractical, as my friends would have to make me want to kill them and take a picture of my face just so I could practice, but I'd probably be too angry to sit still long enough for them to take said picture.

This Troper's friend does this to people all the time. Problem is, this friend is easily offended, so I can never tell whether she's actually mad or not. :|

This Troper has incredibly dark brown eyes that are unnervingly shiny and terrifying at the right angles. For example, if I look down with my face then look up with my eyes, I look like I've been possessed by the devil. I've terrified many a friend this way, and can't even look at one of them properly anymore without her accusing me of giving her the death glare.

This troper has both a very heavy brow AND natural villian eyebrows, the combination of which has given him the ability to perform a death glare so effectively chilling that he's become rather renowned for it. Unaware peers have gone up to him and requested it, and promptly turned around and walked away, heavily shaken, never to ask for it (or provoke it) ever again.

This troper has two adorable little bunny rabbits. She also has a cat. The rabbits are kept separate from the cat, because she tries to chase them. One day while the bunnies were being fed, the cat went into the room, hopped into the pen containing the larger of the two, and went to hide in a basket we put in there for him to use as a makeshift burrow. He stopped what he was doing (which was eating), turned around, flattened his ears, narrowed his eyes, and GLARED. She quietly got up, hopped out of the pen, and left the room.

This troper is a non-commissioned officer in the US Army. I'm not very intimidating at all, and I almost always have a smile on face. My soldiers long ago learned that if they do something that causes me to lose that smile, my death glare will mealt their souls.

Whenever this troper is pissed of, I give people(mom, friends, etc) a death glare. I'm quite famous for it actually.

This troper is know to be somewhat of a sore looser so naturally when a friend started acting all smug during a three way {{Magic The Gathering}} game she became a little ticked off and produced what her friends described as the most frightening death glare they had ever seen. They were both rather wary of sleeping in the same tent that night... It becomes rather funny when one considers this troper is barely 5'2" and both my friends are around 5'8" =D.

I am a DeathGlare expert. Often times all I have to do to get people to listen to me is give them a serious DeathGlare. I've even had most of my friends tell me not to give them "the look" because it makes them feel guilty or scared. I'm thinking of even testing it over the phone, to see if people can tell I'm doing it.

This troper has a real death glare all the time, when relaxed, when happy, when joking, a friend of mine is constantly telling me "god you look like youre gonna kill someone", and then when the real death glare comes out, people start running away.

This troper is immune to them for the most part. Mainly because he's able to read the mood of the situation and is a problem solver. If the death glare is because I told a joke I'll just shrug and grin, inordinately pleased with myself, if it's because the situation is serious I'll just tell them to snap out of it and help me fix the damn mess.

This troper's mother has a withering death glare developed over twenty years of teaching. His older sister agrees that the "Look", as they call it, is still terrifying after all these years. For the record, this troper and his sister are 22 and 32 years old, respectively.

At my college Wind Ensemble concert, during the Battle Hymn Republic, our snare drum player forgot that the conductor adding in triplets a measure earlier than they were supposed to appear, so I was the only one playing them (on timpani). The snare player then tried to catch up and rushed her triplets, which messed me up too. The conductor shot the snare player a horrifying DeathGlare.

This tropette usually gets what she wants via CutenessProximity. She uses a PsychoticSmirk if she wants to make someone nervous (Both are usually directed at her long-suffering boyfriend). The last time she remembers genuinely remembers DeathGlaring at someone was in a study hall in the beginning of her sophomore year of high-school. She was talking with said boyfriend about some of her favorite fantastic creatures and legends. Among them, banshees. The minute the word "Irish" left this 5'3" and very, very ginger tropette's mouth, some idiots in one back corner of the classroom started laughing about, and asking if I was, a leprechaun (This joke has been directed at her quite often. These boys just had the pleasure of using them on the wrong day). I replied with a rather icy, "No, actually, we're talking about banshees, which are a bit different." One boy remarks that they can't be different since everyone in Ireland is a leprechaun. I stiffen, my boyfriend has started silently praying for death and I turn to the boys with an absolutely scorching DeathGlare, very quietly explaining exactly what a banshee is, and what they do... with some embellishments added for flavor. The leprechaun jokes stopped. Immediately.
