[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9670046, member: 52734"] Usually the dungeons I make have some being that maintains the trap, or otherwise it has a chance of misfunction (or I may actively have set it so it’s somehow malfunctioning for those cases when I want to trouble/scare low-level PCs without killing them, and it makes sense). Return to White Plume Mountain had the ultimate incarnation of this, creating a vastly different dungeon with the idea that time and adventurers had worn the various traps from the original down. The Lost City did an intriguing hook with this; the way in is revealed to the PCs because an ancient crossbow trap killed an interloper, whose desiccated body holds open the door to the (otherwise hidden) dungeon. BTW, the most infamous death trap of all, Tomb of Horrors, had planeshifted demons who were bound to the tomb to repair any damage explorers did, so it would be ready for the next group who came along.
