Hell

Hell was believed by some cultures to be the afterlife in which sinners were punished.

Concept
Hell was embedded in the minds of species like humans through religions like Christianity, the opposite afterlife being Heaven. The Seventh Doctor claimed there was no such place as Hell. (AUDIO: Gods and Monsters) The Eighth Doctor claimed that every culture in the galaxy had a concept of Hell. (AUDIO: Absolution) The Twelfth Doctor claimed not to be scared of Hell as he believed it was "just Heaven for bad people". (TV: Heaven Sent)

Some people called the Void Hell. (TV: Army of Ghosts) Hell was also a part of Gallifreyan mythology. (AUDIO: Minuet in Hell)

Humans compared alien life, or human life altered by aliens, that terrified them to creatures from Hell. While describing everything that happened to her since meeting the Ninth Doctor, Jackie Tyler mentioned having "creatures [sic] from the pits of Hell" in her living room.

(TV: World War Three) Solomon thought the pig slave creatures that kidnapped Frank were "from Hell itself". (TV: Daleks in Manhattan)

Perception
Hell was often used to describe greatly uncomfortable situations. Morbius described his deteriorated state as hell, (TV: The Brain of Morbius) and the Tenth Doctor later described the Last Great Time War as hell. (TV: The End of Time)

Some associated Hell with the Devil. Winston Churchill once mentioned that "If Hitler invaded Hell, [he] would give a favourable reference to the Devil". (TV: Victory of the Daleks) Ian Chesterton said that a sandstorm sounded like "all the devils in Hell were laughing". (TV: "The Singing Sands")

(AUDIO: The Shadow of the Scourge) Some believed the home universe of the Scratchman was hell. (PROSE: Scratchman)
