Dante’s Inferno performance in the Gole dell’Ancantara in Taormina (2018)

Sky Bardsey, The Afterwards series
“The Afterwards is a nine volume novel series, by Sky Bardsey that I personally think is a reimagined version of Dante’s Inferno. That is, if Dante were a teenage girl and lived right now. The edgy books are narrated in the first-person POV and are filled with hidden meanings and homages to Dante’s vision of Hell. However, this series seriously challenges and changes some of his assertions.” –Heather M.

Fantasia (1940)
“The last segment of the 1940 movie Fantasia features the devil Chernabog who awakes on Bald Mountain and is seen torturing restless souls and throwing them into a fiery volcano. What I particularly love about that piece is that Chernabog is banished by the chorus of monks chanting Ave Maria as the journey into the nearby cathedral.” -Samuel Gray

Silent Hill 2
“[There] is a video-game that came out in 2001 called Silent Hill 2. The game is part of a series, but the second game is usually best remembered. The town called Silent Hill is not officially called “Hell” but it functions the same way. The protagonist, James Sunderland, doesn’t have a guide like Dante does, but he does meet a variety of people along the way, each one afflicted by their own guilt. The town has a way of bringing guilt into physical manifestation, taking the form of various hideous-looking monsters. The allusion to hell occurs when James goes BELOW the town, taking elevators and stairwells deeper, deeper, and deeper than should even be conceivably possible.” –Samuel Gray
