A character avoids pursuit or detection by hanging from the ceiling of the room or hallway. Thankfully, the upper reaches of the room have structures (walls, pipes, crossbeams, etc.) that are close enough for the hero to grab onto, even if they have to hold themselves up through sheer friction. Luckily, nobody ever thinks to look up. The only sop to plausibility is our heredity: as walking animals we naturally focus on a horizon ring, and at our size lack in flying predators (thankfully). This is frequently used to achieve a Fakeout Escape, e.g. when performed in a locked room or an Empty Elevator. Sometimes, the seeker is alerted to the hider's presence above by blood or sweat dripping to the floor. If a monster is involved it may lead to Vertical Kidnapping. See also: Ceiling Corpse, Container Cling, Acrophobic Bird, 1-Dimensional Thinking, Object Ceiling Cling, He Was Right There All Along. Not to be confused with a Wall Crawl, which can also involve crawling across the ceiling. |

Ranma ½: Ranma frequently tries to escape distressing situations this way, to spy on people, and while sneak attacking — and he can cling to even a smooth, painted wooden surface◊. Once he even did a blanket cling when trying to hide from his mother as she pulled off the covers from his futon. At least one antagonist, Kodachi, uses this to get the drop on Akane once. The Iemoto of the Daimonji family can sit in the seiza position on the ceiling, and even move, clinging solely with her toes. |

Bleach: Shinji is capable of this. He's shown in one chapter's cover art as pulling a straight example of this against Ichigo. However, in the actual manga, he can pull this stunt on people using only thin air. It's a hint of his special power (being able to reverse things). | |

Poked fun at by The Simpsons. Mr. Burns and Smithers attempt a Ceiling Cling in Homer's kitchen while trying to steal Maggie's teddy bear. Unfortunately Homer comes in at that very moment, and starts a marathon cheese-eating session that lasts until dawn. (That's when Smithers and Mr. Burns just give up and fall to the floor.) | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: When Daisy is in a cargo elevator and sees a guard coming, she jumps up to hide in the recessed ceiling. It seems to be going pretty well, until a second guard comes and takes forever loading his stuff. Daisy starts slipping, and both guards hear her, so she has to just drop down and beat them up. | |

Lampshaded in Superhero Movie, where The Dragonfly is almost discovered while he's going to the bathroom. Hourglass' search for him launches into a minute-long search where Dragonfly hides everywhere from in a closet, to a drawer, to behind Hourglass, all at improbable speeds. He finally clings to the ceiling, but, unable to hold his pee, he begins dripping, then streaming, then gushing, then spurting like a sprinkler. | |

Heroes: Monica pulls this once. If only she'd held on to her comic books... Also, when Peter shows up at Mohinder's apartment for the first time, there's a sort of twist on this trope, as Mohinder is telekinetically pinned to the ceiling by Sylar, though Mohinder winds up dripping some blood on Peter, cluing him in. |

All Shinobi in Naruto who have the mastered the necessary chakra control can do this. As the necessary level of chakra control is considered a rather basic ninja skill, such displays are at least as likely to be played for comedy as they are for ambush or evasion. After all, when everybody can do it, nobody will be surprised by it. | |

One of the best ways to avoid (or lose) guards in Splinter Cell games is holding onto a pipe overhead with all four limbs. Your superspy can also do a "split jump" in narrow halls, stretching your legs to opposite walls and balancing yourself thus. By extension, you can also hang upside-down from a pipe to strangle opponents, shoot them with your pistol, or with your assault rifle in a split-jump. | |

Xander does this in xXx, but it is sabotaged by the fact he's doing so on a rock ceiling. He jumps on top of the baddies when he accidentally catches their attention by knocking off some dirt. | |

Parodied in Rush Hour 2, where Lee tries to sneak into a casino's back rooms. He climbs on top of a large safe being wheeled in, and clings to the ceiling once he's inside, letting it move past... then sees he's staring right into a security camera. | |

The Ceiling Cling scene in the Spider-Man movie. Peter Parker is in his own apartment with his mask off but otherwise in costume when friends and family come in and he has to hide to keep his Secret Identity. He clings to the ceiling as they are right under him, including Norman Osborn, his (unbeknownst to him at the time) Big Bad Friend. Just after they leave the room, a single drop of blood falls off a cut on his arm from the battle earlier. Norman hears the drop land. In the time it takes him to turn around, look down and look up, Peter has made it out the window. Norman looks out the window, but Peter is now clinging to the ledge under the window. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The Wallmaster enemy drops from above and attempts to grab Link. If you look up as it's falling, though, it disappears... The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: The boss room of the Great Bay Temple seems to be empty — Until you decide to look up. Oh hi Wart. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: The apelike Horriblins hang from the ceilings of caves, usually only dropping down to the ground when close enough to Link to attack. In the second phase of its battle, Marbled Gohma climbs up to the ceiling of its boss arena, forcing you to do some extra work to aim Yunobo at its foot. |

Super Mario World has the Spinies and Buzzy Beetles who are able to walk across the ceiling — they attempt to attack by dropping from above. One or two of the Bosses can do it too. It's not as common in 3D Mario games, presumably due to the already-stated fact that most people don't look up. | |

Subverted in an episode of Sliders, where the title group slides into a world still stuck in the Old West mode. Quinn and Rembrandt are framed for murder and jailed by the local crime boss and a corrupt sheriff, to be hanged the next day. They realize they could use their knowledge of westerns to trick the guards and escape. Quinn does a ceiling cling while Rembrandt calls for help. Unfortunately for them, the person who walks in is the above-mentioned crime boss, who is also a dimensional traveler (and a Kromagg). He simply walks up to the cell doors without opening them and immediately looks up at Quinn, mentioning that Kromaggs have their own westerns. | |

Pokémon: If you thought Pokémon couldn't get away with this, say hello to the deliciously-trained peons of Pokémon Colosseum and XD's Cipher syndicate. Many times a path looks clear, but a Peon will drop from the ceiling and engage you with no warning otherwise. There's one Peon in XD that actually drops from an elevator ceiling when the player uses the elevator and player doesn't notice til they actually left it. Happens again in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2, both during the story and in gameplay. In the story, Chatot and the player are attacked by a group of particularly nasty bandits that drop from the ceiling. Chatot recognizes this just in time and shields the player from attack, taking the brunt of the blow. In gameplay, there are the Monster Houses, which can be deadly. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Characters can do occasional ceiling running, though they can only get into it if the floor curves up at walls or down and over at ledges. Sometimes, the inversion is temporary; sometimes, the inversion is for as long as the ceiling is flat and the character is running forward (whichever direction counted as "forward" when he started running). An exception is when the physics fail in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and our protagonist manages to come to a perfect stop at the top of a loop, making him stand upside down on the ceiling. |

Spider-Man: Spider-Man doesn't even need to grab onto anything but the ceiling itself to hold himself up. This was parodied when someone did look up (thankfully he was a civilian, not a villain) and Spidey was forced to sign an autograph to keep him quiet. | |

Rider of Fate/stay night majors in adhesive acrobatics, with a minor in flight. She prefers to attack from impossible angles, since her actual combat ability leaves much to be desired. Her ceiling cling allows her to stab down into the base of Shirou's neck, from above and behind. | |

Tiger Cage 2 features a sequence in a dark storm drain, in which one of the protagonists hides from pursuing mooks by doing this. Unfortunately for him, his necktie is hanging down directly into the path of the cigarette lighter that one bad guy is using as a light source; his tie catches fire and he is discovered. | |

In Team Fortress 2's fan-made Prop Hunt mode, one team is disguised as various objects in the level and can Double Jump to get around. The other team are all set to pyros and have to seek out the fake objects. A popular strategy is to hide atop something like a shelf in a room or right in plain sight, simply because players tend not to look directly up for enemies. Not having to look up very often for enemies in the main game mode probably helps to make this behaviour more common. Players sometimes do this in regular game modes as well: many maps have small ledges, beams, signs, light fixtures, or other objects that players can stand on, but it isn't obvious that they can do so. Classes with the ability to Double Jump or Rocket Jump like to hide in these spots to ambush enemies (Scouts, Soldiers, and Demomen most commonly, but it's also possible for a Pyro, Engineer, or Medic with the right weapons). However, experienced players will quickly catch on if their opponents are using this strategy. |

Ezra and Sabine are tipped off that he's there by a transmission from Zeb that told them to "keep your chin up". In "Through Imperial Eyes", Ezra does this, with his hands cuffed behind his back, in his cell on the Chimaera to ambush anyone who comes inside. He doesn't get the chance, as his first visitor is the The Mole. |

Subverted in Stroker and Hoop. Hoop was infiltrating a guy's office, when he suddenly hears him coming. He hides up between the rafters on the ceiling. The guy comes in, calmly sits down, picks up his telephone, and says, "Hello, Security? There's a guy up on my ceiling. I don't know why he thinks I can't see him." (Amusingly, when the guy comes in, Hoop almost drops his keys and catches them in a dramatic way, thinking he's safe). | |

In the story, Chatot and the player are attacked by a group of particularly nasty bandits that drop from the ceiling.

It isn't his fault: he hoisted himself up between some ceiling pipes and engaged his ECS, waited until his pursuers passed underneath then dropped down, disengaged ECS and started going in the opposite direction but not before reporting it to his superiors via radio. Unknown to him, the enemy was tapping their communications which means he just gave away his position. | |

In the Gravity Falls episode "Boyz Crazy", Mabel, her friends Candy and Grenda (who's overweight) and the boy band Sev'ral Timez all cling to the ceiling in order not to be seen by Grunkle Stan. | |
