Horror fans literally fell to the floor in shock after one of the most terrifying movie stunts ever.
With the release of Insidious: The Red Door set to hit cinemas very soon, a real life red door appeared alongside a billboard for the film on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.
Fans were invited to knock on the door and reach inside, where they were met by a terrifying gloved hand reaching out to them – and often a terrifying figure running full-pelt towards them.

In a video shared by Dread Central – with the iconic track Tiptoe Through the Tulips playing in the background – fans could be seen screaming and running as a figure reached out to drag one woman inside the red door.
One woman almost fell into the road as her friend begged: “Oh my God, are you okay?”
Another man swore as he fell on his butt after being scared by one of the actors, while another woman knowingly shook her head and refused to go anywhere near the door.
The Dread Central Instagram account wrote: “What’s behind the red door? Unsuspecting people are in for a scare at a seemingly ordinary street corner in Los Angeles.”

Fans flooded the comments section to share their own thoughts on the stunt, with one writing: “Now that’s the way to advertise!”
“The trailer makes me so hyped for the film, hoping it has an ominous fear factor after watching. I’d go to LA just to experience this for sure,” somebody else agreed.
While another fan wrote: “This is brilliant!”
Insidious: The Red Door is the fifth film in the franchise, coming hot off the heels of 2018’s The Last Key.
