== Anime & Manga ==
* ''[[Outlaw Star]]'': Melfina shoots down Harry's requests to "go with him" and locks the door of the ship. Harry's pretty unstable and doesn't take it well. He bangs incessantly on the door but Melfina ignore his cries to let him in. Cue Harry shoving his fist through the door, and wrapping it around the throat of a surprised Melfina effectively pinning her in place and chocking her for a few moments. He releases her and opens the locks in a quick fashion, much to Melfina's horror.
* ''[[Hanamaru Kindergarten]]'''s 10th episode had a horror-style ending which used this trope, among others.
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'': [[Yandere|Belarus]] has done this to her brother Russia once by literally ripping out the door handle.
Line 20:
* This happens in ''Prince of Darkness'' when the [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] infects several members of a research team. It sends them after the uninfected members, having them break through blocked/locked doors to do so.
* In ''[[The Man Who Knew Too Little]]'', Wallace uses a croquet mallet to smash through a door. Naturally, he shouts "Heeeere's Johnny!" right after.
* ''[[Friday the 13th]]'' - This trope is used in every movie, usually against the [[Final Girl]]. A machete against a closet door in the first film, a pitchfork against a kitchen door and a pickaxe against a shrine door in ''Part 2'', a regular axe against a closet door in''Part 3'', an axe that goes through the door and into someone's torso in ''The Final Chapter'', etcetera.
* Michael Myers from ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]]'' also likes this trope. A particularly hilarious example happens in ''Resurrection'' where Michael simply ''walks through'' a reinforced mental-hospital door as if it were made out of cardboard.
** In the remake, he likes this trope so much he even bursts through ''solid walls''.
Line 42:
 
== Music ==
* A [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[The Shining]]'' happens in [[PinkP!nk]]'s music video for "Please Don't Leave Me".

'''Homer: ''' D'oh!
(Homer chops through another door)
'''Homer: ''' [[David Letterman|Daaaaavid Letterman!]]
'''Abe Simpson:''' Hi David, I'm Grampa!
'''Homer: ''' D'oh!
(Homer chops through another door)
'''Homer: ''' (holding a ticking stopwatch) I'm Mike Wallace, I'm Morley Safer, and I'm Ed Bradley. All this and Andy Rooney tonight on ''[[60 Minutes]]''!
'''Family: ''' Aah! }}
* ''[[The Boondocks]]'' episode "The Return Of Stinkmeaner" has Tom, [[Demonic Possession|possessed]] by the ghost of Stinkmeaner, parody the scene from ''[[The Shining]]''.
