The Krell Door

Krell Laboratory Entry

The Krell Door is the access point to the Krell Laboratory, found on the planet Altair IV. This was the scene for the famous Science Fiction motion picture, the Forbidden Planet. The pentagon proportions of the door are flawless, for all the angles complement the design. Further, there are four panels that open simultaneously as the door opens, this is a security measure. Thus, you have four thick panels of pure Krell Metal to break through, a daunting task!

Pen & Ink Drawing OF The Krell Door #419Z

Above is my pen & ink drawing of the famous Krell Door, which is made of pure Krell Metal. The metal is unique, in that it literally absorbs energy, so when you shoot it with a ray gun, rather than melt, it gains straight from the blast. This is the place that the final scene of the movie takes place, because the Monsters of the ID melt down the door, and enter the Krell Laboratory.
