Sometimes, when a character ascends to a higher plane of existence or heads off to Heaven Above, they also have to ascend the stairs to that higher plane of existence, which is usually a Fluffy Cloud Heaven or a Celestial Bureaucracy. For example, in Genesis 28:12, Jacob dreams of a stairway (or ladder, translators disagree) connecting Earth to Heaven with angels going up and down it. The Ancient Egyptians actually tried to build one (known today as the Step Pyramid of Djoser). A more "modern" take is to replace the stairway with an escalator, though even that iteration of the trope dates back at least to the 1941 movie Here Comes Mister Jordan. The symbolic version of this trope is Ending by Ascending, when a character goes up a staircase (or ladder or what-have-you) to represent coming to the end of a journey. Sometimes an Absurdly Long Stairway. Contrast Hellevator. If the character doesn't make it in, the stairs may turn into a Surprise Slide Staircase to Hell. Not to be confused with Space Elevator. See also Ride the Rainbow. For cases when a character wishes to reach the sky in a physical way (while still being alive), see Journey to the Sky. Named after the Led Zeppelin song, from the band's untitled fourth album. For the English film whose American title was this, see A Matter of Life and Death. |

There's a Far Side cartoon that plays with this, and the Hellevator, by depicting an escalator going up to Heaven and one heading down to Hell. The demon riding the down escalator pies the angel riding up in the face. | |

In the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats, the way to the cats version of heaven, the Heavyside Layer, is apparently a large golden staircase that descends from the rafters during the final number. More specifically, a staircase shaped like a cat's paw. |

Another example from The Simpsons, this time a subversion: one of the foolish projects that the people of Springfield embark upon is an escalator to nowhere that looks an awful lot like an escalator to heaven. This is a parody of the bridge to nowhere (which several near-useless bridges have been dubbed), except this escalator literally just ends in a giant fall. | |

The House That Jack Built calls to this imagery in this at the very ending, as it's a stairway leading "out of Hell and up". Jack attempts to weasel his way out of the eternity of Hell that awaits him, but he only makes it halfway across the chasm required to reach it before slipping and falling into the inferno below. | |

A Matter of Life and Death features an Escalator to Heaven as a key setpiece. The film was retitled "Stairway to Heaven" for the U.S. release much to the dismay of Michael Powell who thought the new title undermined the secular tone of the film. | |

In Super Mario 64, there is a staircase that you can get to, but if you open the door to it before you have collected enough Power Stars, it goes up basically forever, no matter how much you climb there's still more ahead. But turn around and you've only gone up a handful of steps. | |

Harry Dresden ended up jogging up a (somewhat metaphorical) Staircase To The Cloud, thinking to himself that despite it involving a lot of magical power, some people would complain about it not being an elevator to make the trip pass quickly. He then proceeds to wonder why someone couldn't have installed an elevator instead. | |

Cowboy Bebop: In "Mushroom Samba", when Spike is high on mushrooms, he hallucinates a staircase that he climbs infinitely (he is really just stepping on the same step of a real set of stairs) and meets a frog: Also of note is "The Real Folk Blues (Part 2)", in which Spike dies (maybe) while descending down a staircase from the Executive Suite Fight. |

In Dungeons & Dragons, Mount Celestia (or the Seven Mounting Heavens of Celestia) is both Heaven and Stairway To. Lawful Good mortal souls arrive on the lowest layer upon death, some joining the lowest ranks of the archons, and must gradually ascend the mountain through service and understanding of the nature of Law and Good. Once a soul (or archon) has grown in understanding enough, it can eventually pass into the Seventh Heaven from which (almost) nothing returns, where most guess they merge with the plane or find a realm of pure rapturous bliss that lives up to the name. (The one archon that regularly passes in and out of the Seventh refuses to explain what goes on in there.) | |

Futurama - During The Beast With A Billion Backs, when Yivo invited all creatures in the universe to live on shklerself (which, for all intents and purposes, IS heaven), shklee transported everybody in via golden escalators. Barring being unceremoniously dumped onto Bender's invading pirate ship, this was apparently also the way out of heaven, as shklee was about to call an escalator back to earth when Leela had a hard time getting over her misgivings about the whole setup. | |

Meyerists, in The Path, go through initiatory stages represented by a ladder leading to the heavenly Garden of their afterlife. They believe Our Founder literally did climb such a ladder as he searched for a way to heal human suffering. (And since he had this experience on Huayna Picchu, which is full of ladders, bridges and stairways installed by the ancient Inca and maintained by their modern descendants, he probably did!) | |

Jacob's Ladder's title is an allusion to this trope, and finishes with Jacob and his late-son ascending the stairs in their home as Jacob passes away. | |

In Keys to the Kingdom, there's a magical staircase that you can go on that will eventually take you where you want to go, but with a bunch of seemingly-random 'landings' that consist of various different places, worlds and times. While walking on the staircase once, Suzy Turquoise Blue runs into someone she used to know before she became a Piper's child. | |

Subverted in the Sanctuary episode "Metamorphosis." Will is transforming into an abnormal and dreams of himself as a human ascending a staircase towards a bright light. He follows, only to find himself on top of one of the Sanctuary's towers where he commits suicide. | |

Housepets! has the stairway to Heaven, which King and Fox travel because King was given an audience with the head honcho (in this case, Bahamut). | |

Averted/lampshaded in the movie Soultaker... leading to a hilarious exchange on the respective Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode: Notable in that the movie does have an elevator to... some form of the afterlife. (Which looks suspiciously like a boiler room.) And a ladder. |

The King and I: At the end of the interpolated ballet "Small House of Uncle Thomas," Little Eva dies and goes to the arms of Buddha. She is given wings and she climbs an onstage staircase through the clouds up to where Buddha is sitting, as the chorus sings "Praise to Buddha!" | |
