A scary character is approaching, and the camera focuses on his/her foot crushing something, or just emphasizes the is frightfulness with a closeup of the characters feet/boots, which may be adorned with Spikes of Doom or the like.
Subtrope of Foot Focus, but in a scary or Badass way instead of a sexy way. Differs from Feet First Introduction in that it isn't necessarily the first appearance of the character.

- In the Thor film, there's a closeup of the Destroyer's foot as it enters the town on Earth.
- In Predator 2, the shot of the monster approaching a doomed gang leader is taken from behind its feet.
