  • Hellevator is a terrifying, horror-themed game show that dares three friends (later four friends in season 2) to ride a haunted elevator into the depths of an abandoned slaughterhouse as the contestants struggle to realize that "It's just a game...It's just a game...It's just a game!" Casting for the second season has been announced on May 10.
  • The Hellevator is an elevator that serves as a bridge between the world of the living and that of the dead. And that's really about it. The main advantage of the Hellevator in fiction, particularly visual fiction, is that's it's an obvious way of letting the audience know that they're going deep beneath the surface of the Earth. A mystical hell-traveling elevator is surprisingly plausible because people, especially children, often don't understand how elevators work. This was certainly more true back when the trope was first introduced with early film (back then only employees of elevator buildings were even allowed to operate them) than it is today, but the trope lives on largely because of its obvious visual appeal.

When an elevator goes down for several hundred floors, it's pretty difficult to come to any other conclusion as to where it's going. Even better, it's cheap to make the set. Not to be confused with the Hellevator, the lunar-based Space Elevator in Schlock Mercenary. See Stairway to Heaven for its sister trope, and Evil Elevator for when the elevator itself tries to kill you. And yes, this trope title and Stairway to Heaven could both be considered Fridge Brilliance since it's easier to be immoral (and stand in an elevator) than it is to be moral (and climb stairs.)
