== [[Anime]] And [[Manga]] ==
* The depiction of the Nexus from ''[[Berserk]]'', where Guts and the Hawks wind up when Griffith calls the Godhand during the Eclipse, is very much one of these.
* Inspired by the [[Divine Comedy]], ''[[Saint Seiya]]'''s version of Hell is [[Circles of Hell|structured]] in several locations or "Prisons". The Sixth Prison is a lake of boiling blood, whereas those who sin of greed are devoured by Cerberus in the Third Prison.
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' has the endless blood-filled [[Pocket Dimension]] inside Gluttony's stomach.
Line 28:
== [[Literature]] ==
* While Inferno in Dante's ''[[The Divine Comedy]]'' was mostly the more traditional [[Ironic Hell]], murderers and tyrants are punished by immersion in Phlegethon, a river of boiling blood, and Judas, Brutus, and Cassius were given the special privilege of being Satan's personal chew toys. And we're not speaking figuratively. He has all three of them in his mouths and is chewing on them for eternity.
** Said final section of hell is also frozen over. [[Cue the Flying Pigs|No sign of flying pigs, however]].
* In the third book of the ''[[Silverwing (novel)|Silverwing]]'' series, the bat version of the afterlife is relatively nice. However, those who especially displease the god of the underworld, Cama Zotz, spend the rest of eternity in his digestive system.
* Played with slightly In Clive Barker's ''[[Imajica]]'', as it's like being inside a *dead* being. The First Dominion (where the souls of the dead travel) {{spoiler|is the physical embodiment of the god Hapexamendios, and when he dies, his flesh—i.e. the entire universe—begins to rot with expectedly squicky results.}}
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The descriptions of Hell on ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' vary, depending upon who's describing it. However, in the second season, one demon {{spoiler|Meg, who's currently possessing Sam,}} describes it as "a prison made of bone and flesh and blood and fear."
Line 64:
** [[Averted Trope]] in Diablo II, where some parts of Hell look like [[Floating Continent|islands floating in the void]].
* While not a straight example as he's not in an actual hell, the main protagonist of the image provider ''[[Saya no Uta]]'' sees everything and ''everyone'' in "gore-o-vision" after strong head trauma. Predictably, this starts to eat away at his sanity, until he meets a young girl who looks perfectly normal despite everybody else looking to him like horrible fleshy monsters...
* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|Infinity]] from ''[[Breath of Fire II]]'' is the game's Hell analogue where [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Deathevans]] and his demon horde are [[Sealed Evil in a Can]], and is completely made out of ''pulsating flesh''.
