The Walls Are Closing In	comment	The Hero finds himself in an empty room, and then the walls start closing in, threatening to squash our hero from the sides. Like its Sister Trope, Descending Ceiling, The Walls Are Closing In shares many of the same functions and tends to show up in the same situations. This Death Trap can be decorated with Spikes of Doom to look even more menacing, and it can be used hand-in-hand with Descending Ceiling on a Conveyor Belt o' Doom (usually with one coming right after the other in sequence). It may also be subject to a type of a Magic Countdown; no matter how much time the heroes take, the walls are just far enough for them to escape, even moving back between shots. Common ways for heroes to escape this vicious trap is to find a means to brace the moving walls, wait for their Sidekick to find a way inside and get them out Just in Time before the walls would have surely crushed them, or a combination of the two. This was commonly used as a stock Cliffhanger in Film Serials of the 1940s, and has appeared frequently in such works. If this occurs in a Video Game, it may be an Escape Sequence. Compare Advancing Wall of Doom, when the hero has to outrun a single moving wall; and there may exist some overlap between the two tropes if the Death Trap is only one moving wall. See Also Smashing Hallway Traps of Doom where a character has to run a gauntlet of smashing objects without getting hit by any. Not to be confused with Deadly Walls.

Then the walls start closing in. Luckily there happened to be a discussion of hypnotism earlier in the episode. Superman hypnotises Lois, which somehow makes him able to levitate her. Her body stops the walls, and Jimmy is able to climb up to the top and redirect the Kryptonite ray. In "Drums of Death", the Villain of the Week tries to use a wine press to dispose of Perry, Perry's sister, and Jimmy. Superman arrived and tore apart the bars, allowing them to escape.

But the walls stop just before they'd impale Batman, and anyway the spikes are made of rubber. She was just toying with him. (It wasn't the Cliffhanger of the episode.) This was an homage to an actual cliffhanger◊ from the 1943 The Batman (Serial).

The Walls Are Closing In / int_49a88435	comment	Final Fantasy XII has two Demon Wall enemies. The first one you fight presents a twist — it is powered up and offers you little time to defeat it, but it is fortunately a Skippable Boss and you are meant to flee the battle by using the door that it would crush you against, and instead fight the second wall in the next room. The second one (the one you must defeat) is much weaker and offers much more time to win. If so desired, you can come back later in the game to rematch against the first wall. Unless you've done a lot of Level Grinding, in which case you can just off the first one right away and pick up a weapon that you're not intended to have at that point in the game yet (still not quite the Infinity +1 Sword though, but it is one of the games many, many Disc One Nukes).

The Ancient Ruins, the sixth dungeon in Oracle of Seasons, has a large room with obstacles that must be crossed before its walls crush the player. The trap is activated by grabbing the big red rupee.

The Walls Are Closing In / int_7f325071	comment	Space Engineers have trash compactors as a popular way to salvage derelict space ships; shove a ship in one, turn on the grinders to break up the ship, and activate the mechanism to push the walls (and the ship) towards the grinders. Eschewing the grinders gives you a much more entertaining way to turn ships into metal pancakes.

The Walls Are Closing In / int_a81325d3	comment	Most late-model Final Fantasy games have this trope, sometimes with only one moving wall in the Death Trap. The wall is a living creature, and must be defeated before it crushes the party. Final Fantasy IV has a bad guy trapping the heroes in one of these during a cutscene as they try to escape his lair after taking him out. Palom and Porom, the two cute Half Identical Twin kid mages, sacrifice themselves to save the others by turning themselves to stone and stopping the walls. And another sequence where the moving wall is actually a monster called the Demon Wall, and you actually have to fight it to the death as it advances. If it advances all the way, it starts spamming the special move Crush, an Always Accurate Attack that instantly kills whoever it hits, and significantly faster than you can revive your party members. Final Fantasy XII has two Demon Wall enemies. The first one you fight presents a twist — it is powered up and offers you little time to defeat it, but it is fortunately a Skippable Boss and you are meant to flee the battle by using the door that it would crush you against, and instead fight the second wall in the next room. The second one (the one you must defeat) is much weaker and offers much more time to win. If so desired, you can come back later in the game to rematch against the first wall. Unless you've done a lot of Level Grinding, in which case you can just off the first one right away and pick up a weapon that you're not intended to have at that point in the game yet (still not quite the Infinity +1 Sword though, but it is one of the games many, many Disc One Nukes).

But if necessary, the interior can be made to shrink, invoking this trope on anybody inside. In "The Girl Who Died", a moving wall on the Mire ship is used to push the Viking warriors into the corridor where their testosterone is harvested.

Their main enemy is far enough back to get out of the hall in time. The mooks are not so fortunate. As for the heroes, while the walls of the labyrinth are high, the ceiling is significantly higher and the Panda and Squirrel have Static Shoes that enable easy Wall Crawling, so they merely grab the Stranger, run up to the top of the walls and run along those to make it to the goal first.

In Mega Man Zero, Aztec Falcon is fought in a trash compactor stage as well. It's different in the fact that you aren't the one being crushed, it's another Reploid. And you only have 75 seconds to beat the guy. Mega Man X2 has several sequences where you have to climb up between walls before they crush you. There's actually a robot who triggers this; if you kill it first (try charged-up Sonic Slicer), the walls won't move. Alas, there's no such trick for the similar traps in Mega Man X3 and Mega Man X7. Those same walls show up in the Megaman X segment of Distorted Travesty 3, only the situations become more difficult then in X3. Mega Man X4 has one in the opening stage, which you can accidentally drop down right before the boss fight. It does contain a life and a health pickup, though.

In the next chapter it's revealed The Copperhead collapsed out of relief as the moving wall hadn't got near him. Once More, with Clarity we're shown that he held his pistol (with a shiny metal cigarette case as a reflector to aim it) outside the bars of his cell so he could shoot the mechanism controlling the wall. His sidekick then arrives to open the trapdoor and let him out of the cell.

And if, by some miracle, you find and hit the four-button OFF sequence? That doesn't stop the mechanism. All it does is open the emergency exit, and reaching that exit is still your problem.
