The "drag me to hell" idea actually comes from a couple of different folklore stories. The furies, or eurynes were figures of vegence in Greek mythology. When summoned by people who were wronged or victimized in some way they would wreak vengeance on the wrongdoer for a period of time until they killed themselves; and then torture and terrorize them in the Underworld. The "drag me to hell" idea also comes from Krampus; a pre-Christian figure in Germany and Austria who accompanies Saint Nicholas on the Eve of December 6th, St. Nicholas Day. While Saint Nicholas would reward good children with gifts, Krampus would drag wicked children to the Underworld. Both of these helped inform the vengeful "Lamia" character in the movie.
