About

Don't Dead Open Inside is a trope which involves incorrect interpretation of various writings and labels which include two or more lines of text and have no clear way to tell the order in which the words should be read. The name "Don't Dead Open Inside" is based on a promotional poster for The Walking Dead TV series which features one of the best recognized examples of the trope in popular culture.

Origin

However, when read line by line instead, the writing on the door reads "Don't dead open inside."
