Trapped has two P's...
I think you've answered your own question though: "Once you enter this house you may never leave..." is probably fine. It has a certain Edgar Allen Poe feel to it. Just try to remember that Poe was successful because he showed the horror and emotions of his victim characters and not the bloody, direct approach of killing people off that most modern movies and writers go for.
In your case, what's horrible for this man is not that doors are locking or windows are shutting all around him, or even that he can never leave. It's the feeling that he's trapped and helpless. The appearance of another man is frightening not because of what he says, but because of the uncertainty of his presence. What will this man do? What could your protagonist do to stop him?
In any event, good luck to you, and enjoy the prospect of writing! I hope you do well on this essay.
