- To sometimes turn around and see what's behind us is one of the most natural instincts in the world. And it goes for what you literally have behind you as well as what you have behind you in a more metaphorical sense. But sometimes, you just mustn't. For this trope to come into effect, turning back must be forbidden and/or have very bad consequences. In drama, this is primarily a symbolic metaphor involving issues of trust and angst. However, it can also be a matter of You Do NOT Want to Know. To avoid the whole What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic debate, purely practical examples (such as being chased by a Medusa) are not excluded from this trope. This extends to video games that use it as a particularly brutal way of enforcing Ratchet Scrolling: Turning back kills you instantly. Can lead to Curiosity Killed the Cast. Has nothing to do with Don't Look Down: "Back" is where you are coming from, not merely a direction opposite to where your head is facing. Also unrelated to Unflinching Walk, where you Don't Look Back at the explosion happening behind you simply because it looks cooler. Contrast with Look Behind You!. Examples of Don't Look Back include:
- This game is best played alone. Your guests may not come, if they feel as if there is already a crowd. This game is best played AT NIGHT.
* Turn off all sources of noise. This includes phones, TVs, etc.
* Turn on the light in the room you are using. If it is an unlit room, use a lit candle or a flashlight.
* Start at the furthest point in your house from the room. Go from room to room calling "I'll be ready soon!"
* When you reach the room, take out the paper and write, "You are invited! A gathering, hosted by (your name). Takes place from (time you start - an hour from start time). Bring friends!" Place it on the floor, and shout into the room, "I'm ready! Come on in!"
* Turn off the light and turn around, so you are facing the dark of your house. The open door should be at your back. Take out the three matches and hold them in your hand.
* Wait a few moments in silence, then begin counting out loud. When you get to ten, strike the first match. 1.
* If the match does not strike on the first try, drop it and strike the second one. Repeat this for the third one, if the second does not light. If the third does not light, you have gatecrashers - uninvited guests. Do not turn around, or pause to close the door. Run for the nearest light source and turn it on. The party is over. 2.
* If the match lights, hold it until it burns down as far as you can bear. Greet your guests. Suggested: Say out loud, "I'm so glad to see you! Thank you for coming!" Light the second match. If it does not light on the first strike, see step 1. 3.
* Repeat step 2 for the second match, and greet more of your guests. 4.
* Strike the third match. If it does not light, see step 1. If it does light, say "Now everyone is here!" and count to ten again. If everything was done correctly, you should be able to hear or feel something. It is typically just someone saying "thanks" or "thank you" quietly. It may, or may not, be from behind you. Great party! Your guests were happy to come. Afterward, it is safe to turn on the lights. If at any point you turn around or look behind you before turning on the light, refer back to step 1.
- "Don't Look Back" is the theme of Noel versus Tsubaki with vocals.
- The following novel is a fanfiction written by Herzjitu and is the first in an upcoming series.
