Something hideous is lurking in the dark, eldritch depths of... your crisper drawer. Interesting things breed in the depth of the refrigerator. Anyone who has ever had to clean one out can attest to that: foul-smelling, congealed mac 'n' cheese, shrivelled carrots and "furry" meat. The TV fridge, however, is another beast entirely. On TV, when life grows on your food, it is more than just life: it is sentient, multicellular and intelligent life. The back of your average comedy fridge is a breeding ground for all kinds of biological horrors — from oozing green slime to entire sapient races of leftover lasagna people to pasta-tentacled Eldritch Abominations. Creatures bred in the depths of an old Tupperware container make excellent Monster of the Week fodder. Some shows may extend this trope to other flagrant displays of bad housekeeping, creating life from unwashed underwear and the dust under the bed. We honor them here as well. They obey the spirit of this trope, if not the letter. When the filth has conquered entire rooms or even the house itself, you have Trash of the Titans. Sub-Trope of Creating Life Is Unforeseen. Contrast Empty Fridge, Empty Life. Unrelated to Fridge Horror. Not to be confused with It Came from the Sink. |

Douglas Adams' novel The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is a rare example where it plays into the main plot. It eats The Man Behind the Man. It was not exactly food, but a god born of Gently's guilt. The entire story maintains a subplot of Gently playing a game of chicken with his maid, both trying to trick each other into opening the fridge first. Gently leaves classic "door left unopened" clues such as a hair stuck in the door while his maid messes with those to pretend she did open it so he would open it and check if anything was moved around. |

A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child has a scene like this. After Greta has been force-fed to death in her dream, we cut to Alice going to fetch her father a drink in the fridge. When she opens it, the food rots in front of her eyes (and an eyeball even shows up on them) before her dead friend suddenly bursts out of the fridge, only to be dragged back inside by Freddy Krueger. The fridge closes, is opened again, and everything is back to normal. | |

The Whiteboard The guys ended up using siege explosives to deal with the tentacled monstrosity that spawned from old leftovers. It happened again when Doc rummaged around in the break room fridge, surprising him. He went to war against it, with him eventually trying to use explosives to kill it. But it surprised him on Halloween Day. Eventually he installed a device that automatically crushes his fridge and replaces it with an empty one every week. |

The Naked Gun does a gag about this, with Lt. Drebin briefly keeling over after sniffing some three-year-old Chinese food from his fridge. If you look very closely at the very end of that scene, as the camera zooms in on Lt. Drebin's face, you can see a steak on top of the fridge... crawling on its own. | |

The Simpsons Homer, digging around for a lost peanut under the couch in season 5's "Boy-Scoutz N the Hood": "Ow, pointy! Eww, slimy! [Scream]! Moving!" In "24 Minutes", Homer keeps a pungent container of yogurt in the employee fridge. The stench is so bad, experts in hazmat suits are called, and Jimbo, Dolph and Kerney end up stealing it as a component of their nuclear stink bomb they intend to ruin the school bakesale with. When Homer plays Every Man and has let himself slip after his personal trainer has left him, he goes to Apu asking for something to make him throw up. Apu promptly says "I think there is some expired milk in the back of the refrigerator. But do not chew the lumps." It was too late. It thankfully cuts away to outside the Kwik-E-Mart...which gives you a perfect view of the windows being coated with some sort of heinous brown sludge, which came out of...one of Homer's orifices as a result of chewing the lumps. In "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind", when we see Homer's picture-a-day montage into his life, it turns out that his house was so poor and unkempt that the bathtub collapses into the kitchen room. Then the unknown chemicals create what seems to be a lizard-like abomination that crawls about... |

One of the most fondly remembered chapters in the molesworth books is "The Prunes are Revolting!”, in which the prunes served at the school rise up and defy the pupils and staff in a campaign styled on British accounts of the Indian Mutiny. This was more of a comment on the taste of school dinners in British schools at the time of writing than on their state of preservation, though. | |

The Cowboy Bebop episode "Toys in the Attic" features a crawling, slimy fridge monster born from an old fridge with a rock lobster in it that was left abandoned for so long it managed to breed complex organisms that are fast moving, aggressive, and venomous. The fridge was unplugged and in storage. The lesson of the story is probably the most useful ever to come from TV: Don't leave things in the fridge. The fridge returns in Space☆Dandy, in which the mold monster is quickly eaten by Meow. Although Ed had already done so... In a meta-variant, it turns out that according to a Forbes interview, Shinichiro Watanabe, the creator of Cowboy Bebop, helped Minami move at one point. He had a fridge on the property, heavily sealed with duct tape because he'd left something within and forgot what it was. The general consensus was that it must never be opened, and thus was born the episode. |

Garfield has used this trope more than once. Lethal Chef (aside from his Lasagna, of course) Jon must be using some weird ingredients; one of them even held him and Odie at gunpoint. He also apparently doesn't clean the fridge out anywhere near frequently enough. The Coleslaw That Time Forgot. Deep within the frozen wastes it lurks... Cleaning out the fridge in Jon's household apparently takes some extreme measures... Sometimes it produces dishonest leftovers. Sometimes it gets downright dangerous, like in this case, where a piece of mystery meat was bent on world domination, or this one, where Jon got beaten senseless when he tried to clean the fridge. And sometimes it get really out of hand with animated pieces of food waking up Garfield in the middle of the night asking for a glass of water or a story or what have you. Even professionals have trouble dealing with Jon's fridge. In the October 3, 2011 strip, it's shown that the mayonnaise has not only become intelligent, it was able to send Jon a friend request on social media. The title panel of the June 22, 1986 strip has Garfield open the fridge to find a green blob with eyes and ask if the creature is the bologna or the pimento loaf. Implied in the May 16, 1998 strip. Some of the fridge contents have apparently turned on each other. In the August 7, 2006 strip, a horrified Jon says it's time to clean out the fridge because "the baloney is yodeling."

In an episode of Married... with Children, metal band Anthrax is snowed in at the Bundy's house. Desperate for food, they eat "Mom's mystery pack", a foil-wrapped substance that apparently not even Al will touch. It's described as moving and hot (despite being in a refrigerator), and causes hallucinations among the band, and later on sings along with Edd "Kookie" Byrnes. | |

Discworld: In Hogfather, Susan Sto-Helit conducts a forensic examination of the contents of a bag left hanging outside the window in winter (Discworld's low-tech, cut-rate version of refrigeration — also surprisingly popular with British university students). "Now look at this. Leathery bacon, green bread, and a piece of cheese you could shave. She hasn't been here in some time, believe me." As with so many other tropes, this one is represented multiple times in Discworld stories. For instance, in Witches Abroad, Granny Weatherwax visits a neglected old granny (not a witch) and finds some milk in her kitchen that "ought to be allowed to vote." And in Small Gods, Om makes a similar comment about milk served in a philosophers' bar. |

Total Drama: The first meal the campers are served in "Not So Happy Campers -- Part 1" includes sloppy joes. While all the food is disgusting, the sloppy joes actually move. The sloppy joe Noah is given wraps itself back onto the spoon it was scooped from and, when Gwen complains that hers moved, Chef fixes the problem by splattering it with a meat mallet. When all the camp have settled down at their tables, one sloppy joe makes a run for it, but only Duncan and Sadie care to notice. | |

In the original version of The Muppet Show, Gonzo goes to Special Guest John Denver for help, saying he thinks his mold garden is plotting against him. He claims the talking, mobile fungus appeared because he forgot to clean his refrigerator before going on vacation, and the moldy food that resulted was "too cute to throw away". (Then the fungus appears, telling him they need the refrigerator light replaced, again, because "we were playing puffball and Reggie hit a long one.") | |

Several points in The Young Ones reference dirty laundry or unwashed dishes acting sentient. The line that sums it up best is "Guys! Guys! One of Vyvyan's socks has escaped!" Also: "What's Domestos?"note For the non-British or otherwise uninformed, it’s a brand of toilet bowl cleaner. After witnessing the spectacularly filthy toilet come to life and eat a rubber plunger, Mike mutters that he’d better get some Domestos, and the toilet makes the above reply. At one point, the spoiled foods in the fridge have a bit scene of their own, complete with a solo song by a moldy tomato. |

Red Dwarf There is the "curry monster," created from some old vindaloo. In the novelization Lister realizes he's actually in a computer simulation when he looks in his fridge and it's not a grotesque chamber of horrors. When Kryten is first introduced, he cleans up Lister's room in an attempt to do him a favour. Lister is horrified; Kryten has thrown out his pet mould. "His name was Albert! I was tryin' to get 'im two foot high!" A later novel has him trapped in Cyberhell, where everything is designed to be as unpleasant as possible. When he opens the fridge, there's milk struggling to climb out of the carton, the veg has rotted into greeny-brown slime and the smell is indescribable. He thinks,'By my standards, this is actually pretty tidy'. In one episode, Kryten performs an internal scan of Starbug and detects two pieces of Bombay Aloo Lister dropped down a service duct several millennia earlier. They have since evolved a rudimentary intelligence and formed a progressive folk duo. |

A storyline in Monty, or Robotman as it was still known then, had Moondog deal with this problem, as a jar of bean dip had achieved sentience and escaped from his fridge. He had seen it before but ignored it, but the situation had now turned dire as the bean dip was now "fully grown". | |

The US version of The Office (US) has an episode in which Kevin is drinking milk that Andy left in the fridge because hey, free milk. The problem is that Andy's been gone for months, and Kevin's drinking just a sip each day. When Andy comes back, Kevin mourns "I guess it's goodbye chunky lemon milk." No one actually comments that the milk is alive, but it definitely contains something living (the souring and clumping are due to organic acids produced by bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus). | |

In the Teen Titans (2003) episode "Final Exam," the Titans' fridge is full of stuff that's blue and furry (and moving). For some reason, Starfire is upset that Mammoth ate it all after the H.I.V.E took over the tower... but, then again, she is an alien with strange tastes in foods. In "Employee of the Month", an interesting variation of this occurs when Beast Boy imprisons a villain (made out of alien tofu) in the fridge. At the end of the episode, Cyborg accidentally eats him because he was covered in steak sauce. |

On Dinosaurs, the Sinclair children are held hostage by food that has gone bad - that is, food that has rebelled and formed a resistance movement. Since the dinosaurs in the show tend to eat their food alive, this was bound to happen sooner or later. Upon their defeat and return to the fridge, the leader of the food (General Chow) turns around and warns them: "Old food never dies... It just... goes... bad!" | |

An issue of Archie Comics featured a story titled "It came from... THE CAFETERIA" where some of Miss Beazly's leftovers get warmed by the sun and become an 8-foot tall Big Foot like creature. It goes on a rampage, falls in love with and kidnaps Big Ethel, and is ultimately blown apart by a fire hose. | |

Throughout the duration of Malcolm in the Middle, countless times it has been shown that there can be some truly horrid, awful things hiding in the back of the family's fridge. Memorably was a pre-title-sequence clip showing a piece of fruit being placed in the fridge by Lois, who declared the family would be 'eating healthy from now on.' Over time the orange is ignored by all members of the family and slowly decays into a brown lump, no longer recognizable as an orange.... to the point where Hal picks it up and says with delight 'Ooh, a brownie!' Once more, when Reese and Malcolm are shown having a competition to see who can eat the most expired perishables. And again, when Francis tricks Dewey into drinking the filthy liquid that has accumulated in the drip tray. In The Teaser of another episode, Lois is shown serving a "leftover parfait" for dinner, which is made from all the crap she cleans out of the fridge that week that doesn't have something growing on it. Another had Hal and Reese trying to figure out what's causing a horrible smell in the fridge. They go through rotten cheese, bacon, and finally a carton of milk with a dead rat inside, presumably the school rat Dewey was supposed to take care of last summer. Still not it. |

One Piece: Tonjit is so happy to have been knocked down from the stilts where he spent the last 10 years that he offers the Straw Hats some milk that was left in the fridge... or as he calls it, "cheese." He then promptly contracts food poisoning when he's the only one dumb enough to eat it. Possibly a joke related to how many Eastern cultures consider cheese to be Foreign Queasine. Pagaya from the Skypiea saga also has some rather extreme leftovers in his kitchen. |

The Amazing World of Gumball: In "The Game", Gumball, Nicole, and Darwin clean under Gumball's bed, where they find a glass of fossilized milk and a pizza which grows six legs and crawls away. In "The Box", Anais believes that the unmarked box that was delivered at their doorstep could be dangerous when opened like Pandora's box, the Ark of the Covenant, or the 6-month old Chinese takeout in the back of the fridge. The latter is accompanied by a picture of Richard being attacked by an arm made of noodles coming out of a takeout box. In fact, the show had a mobile game called Mutant Fridge Mayhem that follows this trope as its main plot. After Richard puts a jar of exprired jelly on the family's fridge, the food inside and even the fridge itself comes to life and wreak havoc in Elmore, and the Watterson kids must stop them. |

Good Eats: Subverted; some episodes feature the lovely "Lady of the Refrigerator", who dispenses nutritional information about the featured food. That said, he does occasionally get into arguments with his foodstuffs. Played more straight with the Refrigerator Gnome, who is more obnoxious than deadly.

"Squilliam Returns" had "The Appetizer", which grew and became sentient near the end. Then there's "Born Again Krabs" where SpongeBob finds an old patty underneath the grill. After multiple unsuccessful attempts from Mr. Krabs to sell it, SpongeBob put it in a cage because it growled at him. |

Black Books has more than one example. When they call a cleaner (after a scene of Bernard: "I was gonna warm it [a frozen pizza] and eat it later. Everybody does that, that's normal! You are looking for things to complain about!" Manny: "What do you call these?" Bernard: "Wasps!"), he does the trick of putting on a white glove, streaking it across something, and the fingertip comes away black. The thing he chooses to sweep across? The air. | |

If you click on the seemingly innocent container the creature will raise the lid, look around, and go back down.

The series of fan fic about Darth Maul, known as The Sith Academy. One of the running jokes/subplots was that use of the Dark Side always results in some visible sign of corruption for the user; for Sidious, it was his appearance, while for Maul it was his surroundings - just living in a room for a day or so could cause it to become a disaster area. There were at least two on-screen mentions (possibly three) where the contents of his fridge not only became alive and developed sentience, but actually developed whole civilizations; it was implied that this ended when he started actually cooking, in an effort to kill Sidious with cholesterol. | |

There's a variation/parody in Paul Merton: The Series: in one of his comedic monologues, he explains that he lives across the street from a prison, and one of the inmates has made a tunnel to the back of his fridge, and he's kept up at night by the sound of prisoners escaping out of his fridge. In a later comedic monologue, he says that he is frequently visited by beings from outer space and tells the story of how a blob showed up on his doorstep and started telling him that it could show him things beyond his wildest imaginings before exclaiming "Blimey! You've got prisoners jumping out of your fridge!" | |

Some Doctor Strange runs claim his fridge and its inhabitants are the most dangerous thing in the whole Sanctum Sanctorum. For a subversion he actually put most of the dangerous things/beings in the fridge (because strange diet choices, and spellcasting ingredients), but this doesn't mean there can't be even unexpected stuff in it as magical accidents do regularly happen around this much magic. | |

All That had a sketch in a parody of B-Horror movies and crime shows where the "father" went for a midnight snack. cuts to a chalk outline with weird gunk, the police quizzing when the meatloaf was last served (four different answers) while an ambulance wails. When one of the family asked about it, the cop said they didn't call, and went to investigate. Open the closet, and the father is making the sounds - implying that the Meatloaf ate his brain. | |

Family Guy has the episode "Dr. C and the Woman" where the guys return to Cleveland's old delicatessen, which was abandoned when he moved to Stoolbend. Peter proceeds to eat some leftover egg salad that has been standing in room temperature for 6 years, and when he gets bad stomach cramps from that, he tries washing it down with some milk. | |

One (minor) plot point that remains intriguingly unresolved in quirky UK soap Night and Day is the significance of the Harpers’ large, noisy and somewhat sinister black refrigerator. Actually pictured on publicity photos for the show along with the human members of the family, the tombstone-like appliance was heard by Natalie on one occasion to say the word ‘dead’ repeatedly, and administered her an electric shock on another. It’s no wonder that, towards the end of the series, Natalie resolved to donate the monstrosity to Roxanne, warning her ominously to look after it. | |

In Filmation's Ghostbusters, the fridge in the team's house is one of several pieces of furniture they own that's haunted; a ghost inside it once hit Eddie in the face with a pie. | |

Personality Conflicts: Referenced in AGPD Blue when Parker mentions his first apartment from when he was in college, and Daystar teasingly asks if there was "mutant Chinese food in the fridge". (There wasn't - he was a frat boy and therefore lived on beer and pizza.) | |

One episode of The Critic has Jay looking for something to eat in the fridge and exclaiming, "What's that sulfur smell coming from the egg bin? Ah, it must mean the eggs have ripened. Wait a minute! Eggs don't ripen! Eggs don't ripen!" At which point some vicious little lizards/velociraptors burst out and try to break through the door as he slams it shut. He goes to eat at his parents' house. | |

The indie horror game the white chamber has a fridge emitting a poisonous gas, which will kill you if you don't deal with it and keep going into that room. | |

In the Grossbusters comic in Muppet Magazine, Kermit sets up a business destroying garbage, and Piggy hires them to clear the mess out of her fridge, but Fozzie presses the wrong button and turns it into a Blob Monster. (A monster in the female lead's fridge is basically the one similarity this The Real Spoofbusters story has with Ghostbusters.) | |
