The Zwick family were stunned to find out that this was the entrance to a Cold War-era fallout shelter buried right there, in their backyard. A ladder led them down into a bunker, which was a treasure trove, chock full of interesting items from the past.

I was thinking more like the scene in one of the Terminator movies where Arnold pulls the cover off of the underground arsenal in the desert.

I wouldve cracked open that door BEFORE occupying the property... Before BUYING the property. For all they knew, there were bodies or toxic waste stored down there.

The phone book contained the names of “Mr. and Mrs. [husband name] Smith.” And had alpha characters in the phone “number.”
