* Russ Martin's novel ''The Education of Jennifer Parrish''. A coed is chosen to be the victim of a Satanic cult ritual in which her mind will be switched with the mind of one of the cult's leaders so the leader can gain a young body. The ritual proceeds, but ultimately fails because the coed isn't a virgin, causing the death of the cult leader.

* ''KolchakTheNightStalker'' episode "The Youth Killer". Helen of Troy (yes, the one from GreekMythology) has retained her youth down to the present day through  the HumanSacrifice of perfect physical specimens to the goddess Hecate. Kolchak points out to Hecate that one of Helen's recent sacrifices had a glass eye, causing Hecate to withdraw Helen's stolen youth and RapidAging her to death.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. In D&D, improperly marking part of a summoning diagram allowed any creature summoned by that diagram to attack its summoner. An old piece of ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' magazine art had a demon holding a magic-user in a NeckLift over the diagram used to summon it. The demon is pointing to the diagram and saying "Missed a spot."
