Nothing Behind the Door (QPLS)

A trio of bank robbers look to hide their ill-gotten gains in a shed atop Mount Wilson, on the grounds of an astronomical observatory. To their horror, they discover why the shed is protected by a barbed wire fence forbidding the public to pass it "under severe penalty."

This is the first show in the thoughtful horror series, Quiet Please. The audio has an awful rhythmic static in it, but once you learn to tune it out the show is well worth your time.

By the way, there is an observatory atop Mount Wilson even today. You can see it using Google Maps. I'm not sure which shed has "nothing behind the door" though. :)
