A scene where someone opens something, usually a door, to something completely unexpected: a CrapsackWorld, {{Cloudcuckooland}}, a supposed threat, or [[EldritchAbomination an]] [[HumanoidAbomination abomination]] [[AnimalisticAbomination of]] [[MechanicalAbomination any]] [[GeneticAbomination variety]]. Instead of freaking out, they simply close the door with little to no reaction towards what they've just seen outside of it.
This trope will often leave a character needing to reevaluate what they've just seen behind the door, sometimes causing some form of DissonantSerenity before they can actually find the right kind of response for what they've just witnessed. In some cases, they will remain completely serene to the entire situation, and many will [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial blatantly deny]] what they've just witnessed. Some will exclaim that they want no part of this situation while others may have a slightly more [[DoomedDefeatist negative]] [[BrainBleach or disgusted]] reaction, but not without a {{Beat}} or a DramaticPause.
