The Hellevator is usually safe to ride, but the place it takes you to is decidedly evil and unsafe. However, if you are in a fictional setting, ride the elevator at your own risk. In Real Life, the modern-day elevator is safer than an escalator. The main distinction between an evil and a mean elevator is that the evil is never played for comedy and usually results in someone dying, while the mean elevator leaves characters alive - but usually needing a change of clothes.

Often times, this kind of elevator has an operator that seems immune to the extreme forces that are apparently at work.Īnd of course, the doors closing can rip a man's arms off. In very silly settings, this means the riders end up pinned to the ceiling, or flattened into a pancake. When it's just mean, it jerk ups without warning, or drops. Or if it doesn't fall, it makes ominous, creaking noises, or has a tendency to get stuck between floors - the odds of the last increases during an emergency situation. Sometimes the cable breaks while someone is inside the shaft, squishing the poor schmuck.

The Scary, or 'Evil', version is where the elevator cable suddenly snaps without warning - plunging the riders down, either a few feet to terrify, or to their deaths. However, if the elevator fails due to explainable causes (bad maintenance, fire, earthquake), or because someone else damaged it, that's not an Evil Elevator, that's Elevator Failure.Įither the elevator wants to get you because it's vicious, or it has a cruel sense of humor. This trope deals with elevators that apparently have a mind of their own. Unlike the Elevator Action Sequence trope, where it's a fight scene in and around an Elevator, this is just an Elevator, that seems to be out to get you and anyone else that dares to go near it.
