Mad Scientist: Uncle Darius is a non-villainous example, but his inventions going haywire kickstarts the plot. Evil Darius from an alternate 'verse is a more straightforward example whose machines and inventions are created to help him hunt heads.

Professor Guinea Pig: Uncle Darius, who tests the Transuniversal Transvator on himself before confirming it's safe to ride. Which got him stranded in another 'verse before bringing back an evil version of himself.

Mirror Universe: Many of the 'verses the elevator leads are reversed from our reality. From one where animals are sentient and humans are kept in zoos, and another where bugs are attracted to bug sprays.

Off with His Head!: Early on, Evil Darius presents the decapitated head of another version of you. And in at least seven bad endings you end up being decapitated, either by Evil Darius or your hated Science Teacher.

And I Must Scream
 Elevator to Nowhere / int_a8a04f6f
comment
And I Must Scream: Anyone who wears the Captivator Helmet will be forced to comply and obey any order they're given, but they're still aware of their actions. More than one bad ending have you being trapped by this helmet permanently, but a good ending have it Played for Laughs as you decide to trick your hated teacher into wearing it. There's also an ending where you get zombified by insects and obediently allows the insects to devour you alive, despite being conscious the whole time... and nothing you can do about it.

Alternate Self: The real Uncle Darius had either died or was trapped after entering the Transuniversal Transvator to another world, and that the hostile Uncle Darius before you is himself from another dimension. You also found the decapitated head of yourself from another universe, realizing your alternate self had died.
