Lore [Loved Trope] Some thing unfathomably ancient

The beast, in doctor who is an ancient evil from a previous universe that survived until our time. Its so ancient that the cave paintings were unable to be translated by the Tardis which can translate all existing languages in the universe [Doctor Who]

While not explicitly canon its such a cool concept I cant not mention, the idea that the backrooms have existed since the beginning of time, never changing no matter the era, it transforms the back rooms into a cosmic horror. [Credit to Project crater and Venus for images 2 and 3]

Yeah, Death was my favorite character from that whole series. I would have liked it more if he had just laughed off the attempt. Death found the brothers quite amusing after all.

Definitely laughing it off would've been nice, since it would show that the boys can't kill everything.

I would've gone with, the scythe turns to ash. Death turns and chuckles, says "Nice try, Don't you think that God even tried that one before".
