Doom was already pretty fucked up, especially for the time. Almost all media that depicted Hell was pretty tame compared to Doom, which had shit like hanging bodies, twitching impaled corpses, that sort of thing.

Not to say we can't go further.

My idea for a hellish hell Doom map would actually be based on Wayne Barlowe's depictions of Hell. His vision is like that of a sprawling demonic metropolis more than pure chaos, where the demon inhabitants have their own economy based off of the souls of the damned. It's a very creative vision of Hell, sort of a corporate lawful evil version compared to Hell typically being seen as chaotic evil, if that makes sense. A map like that would incorporate sort of urban medieval suburb design while still being alien and disturbing, with street lamps being powered by perpetually flaming corpses, or the still-living and twitching limbs and heads of damned souls being stuffed into barrels. Rugs and carpets would be the stitched-together faces of sinners and when you take steps on that surface you'd hear someone moan in pain or the crunch of their nose. But then that rug would be the centerpiece for a massive unholy library, with hovering enshrouded things whispering and watching.
