Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A character or group of characters get trapped in a place that they probably don't want to be in yet cannot get out of, most likely by an [[GhostButler incorporeal personification of the plot.]]
* '''Straight''': ItWasADarkAndStormyNight in {{Uberwald}}, [[AlwaysNight as it usually is]], and our intrepid heroes and heroines have been stranded in the middle of nowhere because one of tires had been blown-out by an anomalously sharp speed bump. But! [[GenreSavvy Bob]] [[MeaningfulName Omenfeld]] packed not one but ''two'' spare tires in case if this happens. [[DiabolusExMachina Too bad]], because the one on the back door had [[MindScrew mysteriously disappeared into the]] PhantomZone, while the one in the trunk was torn apart by a family of roid-raged raccoons. Unfortunately the telephone lines are [[CellphonesAreUseless out]] and rescue ain't coming any time soon, so Bob, his wife Alice, and their three kids will have to take refuge in that imposing HauntedHouse, [[TemptingFate which is totally harmless and wouldn't harm a fly!]]
* '''Exaggerated''': The second they stepped into the house, the GhostButler inhabiting the place shut all of the doors and locked them from the outside with a bullet-proof lock and a steel girder, before [[BerserkBoardBarricade barricading all the windows with]] [[{{Hammerspace}} hundreds and hundreds]] [[BerserkBoardBarricade of wooden boards in the space of seconds]], ''and then'' it hid all of the food in the building inside cupboards which it sealed shut using iron chains, and then it went downstairs and released all of the impounded AxCrazy psychopaths, experiments gone awry, howling demons and hungering monsters to prowl. Youngest child [[TooDumbToLive Frank]] blames it on [[ItsProbablyNothing the bad weather.]] And did we say that the house wouldn't harm a fly? [[ExactWords Of course it wouldn't]], it ''[[TheWormThatWalks is flies!]]'' They proceed to eat all of their food so they ''have'' to go down into the underground cellar to fetch canned goods, and maybe even a hammer to escape this wretched place.

* '''Downplayed''': ???
* '''Justified''': {{Uberwald}} is haunted by a [[RealityWarper reality warping]] archdevil named [[FinaglesLaw Murphy.]]
* '''Inverted''': You cannot enter the HauntedHouse under all circumstances. In summary, the outside world is the ClosedCircle from a certain point of view, thus [[LogicBomb playing it straight.]]
* '''Subverted''': In spite of Bob's ineffectual complaining, Alice fetches a steel pipe and [[OpenSaysMe smashes the main door down]], before inflating a couple large donuts and using them as replacement tires for the car.
* '''Double Subverted''': TheJuggernaut [[MegatonPunch lightly goads]] Alice back inside.
* '''Parodied''': [[ContrivedCoincidence Contrived Coincidence LLC]] had been stalking the Omenfelds for sometime, [[BrokenBridge blowing up bridges behind them]], sawing the handles off of doors, [[NPCRoadblock sending their goons to block their way,]] and so on, [[InvokedTrope waiting for the opportunity to corner them on a peninsula with some spooky mansion with only one exit point.]]
* '''Zig-Zagged''': The GhostButler seems unable to decide if the doors should remain open, or closed.
* '''Averted''': Entering the HauntedHouse was a calculated endeavor, and the Omenfelds were by no means forced to wait out the night inside it.
* '''Enforced''': NoSidepathsNoExplorationNoFreedom

* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
