  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

The Doomsday Door in the episode Knock, Knock is actually a Containment Unit[]

The Ghostbuster themselves seem to have no other manner of getting rid of ghosts other than putting them into the Containment Unit and on various occasions there have been the problem of what happens when all the ghosts get out of the Containment Unit at once and it's not too dissimilar from what happened with this door. It seems like the Containment Unit would have to be kept intact for the rest of time, leaving a problem of how to warn future civilisations. It's a problem that comes up in nuclear waste disposal and it seems to come up with the warning stone and the door itself which says "Do not open until doomsday"

  • That makes sense: perhaps the realm behind the door is a pocket dimension that some ancient civilization conjured up to banish the ghosts plaguing their era. It'd even explain that Nightmare Fuel scene of a skeletal boat captain laughing and ordering his human slaves to keep rowing. Maybe some of the people who created the door got trapped inside when they sealed it shut the first time (just like Egon thought was going to happen to them), and they've been at the ghosts' mercy ever since.
