So I just moved house...

[Leemaster777]

Oh, I know, I know! Behind the door, is a mirror and a lightbulb.

If you turn on the light, you'll turn invisible until you turn it off.

But don't use it, if you do, you'll get sucked into the mirror and be replaced by an evil doppleganger!

I know I have read this...
Due to the nature of the post, I cannot Google image this... but is it by any chance one of those stories that came in small books for children? The ones that were creepy but that you could give to children... I forgot the name, but there were hundreds of those stories[footnote]I remember ones about time travel, clones, getting stuck with ghosts, creepy musicians, screwed up Super-hero stories...[/footnote]. Damn memory loss...
...
...
Goosebumps? Was that the story set?

Well, Goosebumps WAS the book series you're thinking off...

...but that wasn't where this came from. You're on the right track, however.

Here's a hint. Same basic time frame, same target audience, but different medium.

Ooh... damn. I only read the books... cartoon? Comic? Movie? I know they made stuff outside of the book, but I never got hold of it.

Yeah, I'ma gonna go with doorway to a magical land like Narnia or Wonderland

Have fun!!

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

Well it will open out into a few ponds that should take you to an ice kingdom followed by earth new world where God a lion will be making shit.

*EDIT* It looks like no one here gets the reference. Can't blame you it wasn't a very good book; they made most of the other books into films but skipped this one. Shame really as its one of the darker of the novels. *EDIT*

To be fair you missed a couple of chapters....

 

[Doclector]

I'm calling it now. There's a portal to Hell up there!

So I suggest getting your girlfriend is a safe place and going up there with the best Bruce Campbell impression. Actually no, scratch that. His girlfriend always gets demonized. So go up there with a Doom Guy costume! Wait no, scratch that too. Earth becomes invaded.

So in conclusion, nuke your house from orbit!

Worse...it's a portal to...that place. The damn basement.

Honestly, it's probably a cupboard.

A cupboard with a creepy doll inside. Or a splicer. Or a cursed artifact. Or an evil ai. Or an angry space marine.

Lock it just to be safe.

Man, I think the previous owner just put that door there to screw with people's heads. Kudos for him.

Edit: I bet he's reading this thread right now and laughing his ass off.

I'unno, in all likelihood it'll probably just lead into a brick wall. Still, a man can dream...

Shame, I thought this was going to be a topic about moving house. I've been in this current house since I was three and my parents are legitimately talking about moving into an apartment out of the 'burbs and close to the city, least I convinced them they should do it after my HSC, in truth I wanna stay in this ol' home long as I can...y'know? Lotta fine memories.

You sir, are amazing for the Dark Tower reference, but doesnt the door need to say something first? Even Rolands said Coda.

Thanks but SHHSHHSHH, no spoilers!

I'm about halfway through the second book and loving it. Not to mention, I think lobstrositie is nnow my new favourite word...ever.

 

[Pegghead]

Shoot, double post. Uh...

How many alzheimers patients does it take to change a lightbulb?

To get to the other side!

Yeah, its pretty cool, right up until you hear one coming for you. Though I think my favorite thing about the book series is the idea of Ka, and thats something thats fallen in big with me.

... man, cant wait till I have the money. I'm going to get a tattoo of the revolver with a rose wrapped around it inside a keyhole with the roman numerals XIX.

and oka, I wont spoil anything else. its too good a series to spoil.

For the reference.

I GET IT

OT: Spiders. Lots of 'em.

 

[Bloedhoest]

And I decided to investigate the attic. Upon opening the small door to get up there I was greeted with what looked to be a door and a wall. From the way it's positioned in the attic it seems to cover at least half of my house. The door is made of wood and looks pretty new, but the odd thing is there's no handle. It only opens out, and can't be pushed open, but there's nothing to pull it open with either!

I'm going to investigate it at some point in the next few days when I've finished moving, but the question is this Escapist? What do you think is behind the door? Is it just a brick wall? Is there someone living there? Does a murderer live above me? Should I risk the door, or just bolt the attic shut from the outside?

Will I even be able to sleep at night knowing there's a strange door up there?

Share your thoughts! I shall post again in this topic once I've got up there and had a look around!

Had the same. Bought a house rummaged around on the attic decided to take a look behind some boarding and found a bucket full of tools, a catholic magazine from 1942 and some coveralls.

If you're not alive I hope the shaky-cam footage you took has survived.

 

[Craorach]

As much as it may sound horror movie paranoid.. don't open it alone.

You really should have checked the attic before you moved in, but as it is, you don't know what someone left up there or how dangerous it might be... if nothing else, you might open it and have something fall out and hurt you.

If it gives you hope, I got the reference instantly; book 6.

OPEN IT!
The secret of immortality might be in there!
Or a spider nest. *shivers*

If you mean the sixth to be published but not the sixth in terms of chronological order then yes. However if you mean the sixth one in timeline of the books then no.

6th to be published, 1st in the timeline. I should of probably of been more specific, my bad.

I'm gonna go out on a whim and guess Narnia? If it is then it's a pretty easy guess. If not then I feel like an idiot. Also how does a lion make objects?
