"Don't you open that Trap Door. You're a fool if you dare!"
There's something down there!

The Trap Door is a hilariously ghoulish and startlingly original clay animation series starring our hero, Berk, and his companions Boni (a moaning skull) and Drutt (a small, strange looking spider). The day-to-day routine of Berk looking after his master ("The Thing upstairs") is constantly interrupted as all manner of things emerge from The Trap Door to make life a little more difficult. Trap Door's hilarious and bizarre humor appeals to kids, students and adults alike.
