Here’s Johnny!

A common Stock Phrase, most often by a villain, to express upon entering the area of the target. Often accompanied by the destruction of a barrier, commonly a door, with an object such as an ax. Occasionally found as a bad guy's Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner.

Born from Ed McMahon's Catch Phrase “Here’s Johnny” on The Tonight Show, it was made popular and haunting when in the film The Shining by Jack Nicholson. Since then, it had made its way into popular culture as a trope of all its own, with different names and/or words replacing Johnny.
