The Man in the Elevator is the titular main antagonist of the ROBLOX horror story animation of the same name by iCharles27, as well as the original urban legend the animation is based on.
As his name suggests, he is a man who traps people inside the elevator, pretending to live in the floor below them, like the 13th floor located below the 14th floor, the main floor of the victim. After they arrive in the 14th floor, the man shows his true colors and murders the victim, leaving their corpse inside the elevator.
Appearance[]
He is a Robloxian with yellow skin, black hair, a zebra-colored fedora on his head and an explorer styled outfit similar to Indiana Jones.
Biography[]
While the protagonist was about to go to the 14th floor, the man grabs the doors, preventing them from closing as he gets inside. There, the two have a conversation with each other, talking about their apartements. However, as the elevator reaches the 13th floor, the man pulls out a knife and turns around to face the protagonist with a sadistic smile, telling her that she will meet him upstairs. This scares the protagonist as they attempt to stop the elevator, but it was futile. At the 14th floor, the elevator's doors opens to reveal the same man she saw earlier, now right in front of her and still holding the knife in his hand. As the protagonist stares at him in fear, she is murdered off-screen.
The next day, the protagonist's friends leave their rooms and attempt to get inside the elevator, but when the doors are opened, they see the protagonist's dead body laying against the wall, now bloody and with missing eyes. After this murder, the hotel decided to install a stop button in order to avoid any further incidents.
Trivia[]
