Sometimes at the end of a show, right before the Fade to Black, there will be a shot of a door closing, covering the characters from the audience's view. The type of door may vary, it could be anything from a typical front door on a house to the sliding doors of an elevator or the grand gates of some lavish estate. Why the door is being shown this way at all will also vary. It may be done to tease the audience, if, for example, the last characters seen are a favored pairing in a romantic looking setting and the writers are leaving the audience to ask Did They or Didn't They?. It may be for comedic purposes, where one character has done something which is sure to lead to a Hilarity Ensues moment, but the door closes, leaving the audience to imagine what happens next. It may be for something darker. If the hero has been captured by the Evil Overlord and has been taken to the dungeons to be tortured, but just as he is strapped to the rack, the dungeon door closes, shutting viewers out, and locking him inside along with whatever it is they are about to do to him. Finally, if done at the end of a Grand Finale episode or the last movie of a series, it could be used to invoke the sense that the final curtain has come down. These are a few examples, but it is by no means limited to them. May overlap with any of various types of Discretion Shots. Opposite and possible Book End to the Open-Door Opening. A type of Hat-and-Coat Shot. Compare and contrast with Off-into-the-Distance Ending, Ending by Ascending. As this is an Ending Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

The series finale of Cheers ends with Sam going through the routine for closing the bar in the evening. He walks over to his office and is about to enter when there is a knock at the front door. Sam thinks about answering it, but dismisses it, goes into his office, and closes the door. This is the inverse of the opening scene of the first episode of the series, where Sam emerges from his office and goes through the routine for opening the bar in the morning. | |

1/0 ends this way, with a Happy Ending where everyone is Back for the Finale. Those who died during the comic's run were resurrected and turned into humans (except the Running Gag, which gets turned into a fish). The door in question is a dimensional door between the world of the comic (which will be destroyed) and the real world. | |

The Truman Show has a variation. The in-universe show ends with a shot of Truman walking up a staircase and through the door that leads out of the studio and into reality. This isn't the last shot of the film, as it's followed by scenes of other characters reacting to the end of the show — but it is the last the real audience, as well as the in-universe audience, sees of Truman. Once he's left the show, Truman gets to live the rest of his life without anyone watching. | |

In BlazBlue, the Astral Finish of Relius Clover has him capturing the other character. The scene cuts to what appears to be a dungeon with shadows of hanging corpses in the backrgound and the victim restrained in one way or the other (each character has a different one). Relius then proceeds to say something, usually in the lines of "Let the experiments begin". Double doors close on the scene and the captured character is heard screaming. | |

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three subverts this trope by having Mr. Green - the last surviving hijacker, who has been sneezing throughout the whole subway train heist - escort the two cops who were questioning him out of his apartment. Just as he closes the door, he sneezes one last time... cue Walter Matthau (whose character has heard that particular sneeze before) opening the door very slowly and giving Mr.Green the stink-eye. | |

In "A New Man", Giles cautions Buffy about her new alliance with the Initiative, having been warned about a secret project called 314. The episode ends on an Initiative scientist swiping through an electronically-locked door marked 314. "Lies My Parents Told Me" ends with Buffy shutting the door in the face of her mentor Giles, after his attempt to kill Spike. |

Charmed did this many times throughout the series, including the series finale. The season finales usually ended this way. The Pilot ended this way, making subsequent uses of this trope more of a Call-Back. |

Child's Play '88 almost does this. As we see Andy heading out the door of his apartment but still fixed through it on Chucky's remains, the shot freezes before the door closes completely, but the sound is still heard. | |

Friends: The last shot of the series pans arounds Monica's empty apartment, past the six keys belonging to the characters and fades out on the purple door and iconic gold frame that is the Friends motif to millions. Definitely representing the final curtain coming down as the gang have left Monica's for the last time and are moving on to a new era in their lives. | |

Babylon 5: One episode had Delenn ask Ivanova a rather awkward question as they get into a turbolift ( about human female periods), and while Ivanova tries to figure out how to respond, the doors close. Another had G'Kar as a prisoner of Emperor Cartagia, who decides he doesn't like how G'Kar is looking at him. The solution? Pluck out his eye. As the emperor leaves, a guard pulls out a knife and the prison door is shut. |

The Saw series does this multiple times with the same door of the same bathroom: The first film ends with the Jigsaw Killer saying "Game over" before closing the bathroom door, leaving Adam to die. The second film ends with Amanda saying "Game over" before closing the bathroom door, leaving Eric to die. The seventh film ends with Dr. Gordon saying "Game over" before closing the bathroom door, leaving Hoffman to die. Noticing a pattern here? The eighth film ends with Logan saying "I speak for the dead!" before closing the milking room door, after Halloran had died. The ninth film ends with Emmerson (William Schenk) escaping the warehouse via elevator and Zeke shouting a Big "NO!" before the elevator doors close, after Marcus has died. |

The first episode of Gravity Falls closes with one of these; Just as Dipper's narration wonders what other mysteries are in the titular Town with a Dark Secret, Grunkle Stan enters the secret passage behind the Mystery Shack's vending machine. | |

Super Smash Bros. for the N64 had a variation on this. After defeating Master Hand on Classic, the camera zooms out to reveal the room from the title sequence, followed by the screen going black to the sound of a door shutting. Cue credits. | |
