Is there a good short story or anything with this theme? I love that idea but don’t know if I’d want to read a whole book about it lmao

A short horror video about it. The Chair by that's a bad idea, if you want to find it in other apps.
Well, I know this is a somewhat hot take, but the 2013 Evil Dead reimagining is really good. Suuuuper violent, but all done with practical effects. Really cool. And they did this whole “evil item” thing really well. I think it’s done better than any other movie I’ve seen with the trope. The whole time, one of the characters is being just beaten to shit but they’re clinging to life with everything they have because they’re so scared of what awaits them in hell.
That movie stuck with me for a few reasons, but the effect they managed to get with the whole sense of doom for these characters was so well done. Accomplished with a few choice lines and scenes that are just brutal and, well, evil.
If you can handle the gore, I recommend it
Needful Things kinda hits this. It’s a novel, but it’s Stephen King so it goes quick.
