What is the Red Door in Insidious 5?
The Red Door is a gateway to the deeper reaches of The Further, where the really nasty ghouls and tortured souls live. It should probably stay closed, to be honest.
We first saw the Red Door way back in the first of the Insidious movies, and it has popped up continuously ever since. It’s a pivotal moment when characters pass through it, as they then venture deeper into The Further and expose themselves to the best movie villains the other realm has to offer.
The door has taken many forms across the different movies, but there’s never anything good on the other side. Sometimes it’s the lair of the Lipstick-Face Demon, sometimes it’s Parker Crane’s childhood bedroom, and sometimes it’s a hidden floor of an apartment building. Either way, keep it closed.
