* ''Literature/RedDwarf:'' The "Better than Life" game becomes one of these, thanks to Rimmer. It's not ''supposed'' to be, instead trapping gamers in their heart's desire, but Rimmer is so pathologically screwed-up his brain can't accept nice things happening to him, and rewires everything to utterly destroy Rimmer. Which, ironically, helps break everyone else out, because his resentment runs so deep it sabotages everyone else's fantasies in the process.
* ''Series/AvatarTheLastAirbender2024:'' The Fog of Lost Souls in the Spirit World, which forces people to relive their worst memories. Then Koh the Face-Stealer eats them.

* Parodied in the ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' season 7 finale "Fear No Mort'', where the duo willfully enter one of these and treat it like a haunted house attraction. They're told that "The Fear Hole" would force them to face their greatest fear, and they think that they escaped getting killed by monsters only to return home and be confronted by [[TheLostLenore Rick's dead wife]]. Being GenreSavvy to a fault, they instantly realize they're still in the Hole and try to figure out exactly what the TwistEnding will be so they can escape. [[spoiler:TheReveal ended up being that Rick was never there; the Hole only accepted one person at a time and forced Morty to confront his fear of abandonment by Rick.]]

** In the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 "Return of Harmony"]] episodes, the [[JustForPun mane]] characters are lured into a MobileMaze in which the villain approaches them individually in the form of their respective cutie marks. He then exploits their deepest fears, insecurities, and flaws to the point they abandon the element they represent, and [[CorruptTheCutie become shadows of their former selves]].

* ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk:'' One of the features of the Below Place is those who visit it encounter husks of friends, loved ones and the occasional enemy, only with black pits where their eyes would be, and which are apparently capable of nothing more than repeating things they said in life. Even the titular Hulk, normally stoic about everything, soon loses his temper after a few minutes of this.

** Rey goes through one of these in ''Film/TheLastJedi'' as an intentional parallel to ''Empire''. The circumstances are a bit different though. She is tempted to, and intentionally seeks out a dark side cave on Ahch-To, hoping to find answers about her absentee parents. She is subjected to trippy visions, and admits that she should have felt trapped or panicked, but her determination to find answers wins through. However, when the cave doesn't give her the answers she was looking for (or so she thought at the time), she is left broken and feeling alone.
