** Although it wasn't a very bad thing because Osiris himself was bad, it was a very bad thing bercause calling him up would bring the Underworld into the real world.
* ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' played this straight and subverted it, depending on the episode. If it was [[Don't Fear the Reaper|death personified]], he was usually nice and just wanted to help people move on but was feared. When someone made a [[Deal with the Devil]], he was usually trying to create an [[Fate Worse Than Death|ironic fate]] with an overconfident person.
* Averted in [[All There in the Manual|the manual]] of ''[[Caprica]]'' and ''[[Series/Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'': Hades is a heroic figure to the Colonials and the capital of Canceron is named after him.
* In the Greek Myths spin-off of ''[[The Storyteller]]'', Hades is presented as a bitter being.
* In the televison version of ''[[The Nine Lives of Chloe King]]'' the Jackals are a rival race to the Mai and are the children of Anubis just as the Mai are the children of Bast. They are described as mindless killing machines who reek of rotting flesh. [[Fantastic Racism|On the other hand this description is given by the Mai]] and should be taken with a grain of salt. When actually encountered the Jackals are nasty but not as one dimensionally as described and there's at least one sympathetically portrayed one.
