^ x 6 @[=OP=]/Tropers/{{Knight9910}}: You're still getting lots of examples, so you might want to wait until they die down.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* ''Film/PrinceOfDarkness''. The Anti-Christ is [[SealedEvilInACan trapped inside a glass cylinder]] inside a church. It sprays a liquid at one of the people researching it and takes control of them, then has that person spit the liquid at other people to possess them as well. It also uses MindControl on street people who live near the church to surround it and trap the researchers inside.

[[AC:TabletopGames]]
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''
** <{{Ravenloft}} example>
** <Tharizdun example>
** Module [=OA6=] ''Ronin Challenge'', Episode 6 "Keluh Valley". The powerful being known as the Earth Spider is trapped in the Realm of Mirrors, but it can still communicate with its worshippers in the Keluh Valley. It orders them to look for a woman of the Wood Spirit people so it can [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe marry her and be freed from its prison]].
** Module B3 "Palace of the Silver Princess". Arik (AKA Arik of the Hundred Eyes) is an ancient, evil being of great power. He was banished to a special dimension centuries ago to be imprisoned for all eternity. However, he has managed to send one of his eyes into the campaign world, where it works to open the dimensional barriers and free him from his imprisonment.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Champions}}''
** Organization Book 3 ''The Blood and Dr. [=McQuark=]''. Inhuman creatures who are virtually immortal, immensely powerful and hideously evil are trapped inside the Earth. They can contact humans and corrupt them to gain followers, but can't escape on their own.
** Adventure 4 ''The Great Super Villain Contest''. The Crimson Claw's secret masters once ruled the Earth, but the power that banished them set up barriers to keep them out. The only way they can return is to be summoned by a creature on this side. They have sent the Crimson Claw to provide three devices - the Emerald Eyes of Azog - to the most powerful supervillains. In addition to being able to see through the Eyes, the secret masters can cause them to act as gates to allow powerful demons to enter our reality.

Like I said. :)
