Line 38:
* In the ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' episode "Terrorform", a planetoid is transformed into a physical representation of Rimmer's Black Bug Room. It turns out to be designed to represent his entire [[Mental World]]. Unfortunately, most of Rimmer's psyche is [[Black Bug Room]].
* Glory's description of the madness she induces to Tara in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' strongly suggests this.
{{quote| '''Glory:''' Think about it. You think your hand hurts? Imagine what you'd feel with my fingers wiggling in your brain. ''(Tara looks very scared)'' It doesn't kill you. What it does ... is make you feel like you're in a noisy little dark room ... ''(Glory frowns and fidgets uncomfortably)'' naked and ashamed ... and there are things in the dark that need to hurt you because you're bad ... little pinching things that go in your ears ... ''(Tara begins to cry)'' and crawl on the inside of your skull. And you know ... that if the noise and the crawling would stop ... that you could remember how to get out. But you never, ever will.}}
* In ''[[Farscape]]'', the episode "Won't Get Fooled Again" involves Crichton becoming trapped in a [[Mental World]] that becomes progressively [[Black Bug Room]] as time goes on, with plenty of repressed fears and insecurities rising to the surface in humanoid form. Ironically, for someone so [[Sanity Slippage|traumatized]], Crichton does a pretty good job staying out of his [[Black Bug Room]] during the rest of the series.
** "Mental As Anything" gives D'Argo a [[Black Bug Room]] in the form of his cell on Moya. At the end of the episode, D'Argo's brother-in-law is imprisoned in his [[Black Bug Room]], reliving his worst memory for the rest of his life: {{spoiler|disfiguring the corpse of his sister so that D'Argo would be blamed for her murder.}}
