* ''Manga/YuGiOh'': Yami Marik's "Viser Des" is a Machine-type card that takes the form of a head vise. When summoned, it attaches itself to one of the opponent's monsters and drills through its head. For extra sadism, Yami Marik would often put a spell that binds the player's soul with the monsters they summoned, causing the player to experience the same pain as the monster.

When someone proclaims that they feel like their head is in a vise (or vise-grip), they are usually being hyperbolic, using the term as creative language to describe the anguish their migraine is putting them through. Sometimes fiction likes to take this figurative phrase and make it literal, putting a person's bare head into a vise or a screw press as a form of torture.
Half the time the trope is PlayedForLaughs, the victim TooKinkyToTorture and finding strange pleasure in getting his skull crushed.
