Interesting things breed in the depth of the refrigerator. Anyone who has ever had to clean one out can attest to that: foul-smelling, congealed mac 'n' cheese, shrivelled carrots and "furry" meat. The TV fridge, however, is another beast entirely. On TV, when life grows on your food, it is more than just life: it is sentient, multicellular, intelligent life. The back of your average comedy fridge is a breeding ground for all kinds of biological horrors -- fromhorrors—from oozing green slime to entire sapient races of leftover lasagna people to [[Flying Spaghetti Monster|pasta-tentacled]] [[Eldritch Abominations]]. Creatures bred in the depths of an old Tupperware container make excellent [[Monster of the Week]] fodder.

Some shows may extend this trope to other flagrant displays of bad housekeeping, creating life from unwashed underwear and the dust under the bed. We honor them here as well. They obey the spirit of [['''It Came From the Fridge]]''', if not the letter. When the filth has conquered entire rooms or even the house itself, you have [[Trash of the Titans]].
