The Wraith: Hell's Pit is an album released by Insane Clown Posse on August 31, 2004, written with the opposite intent of its counterpart, The Wraith: Shangri-La, with the aim of illustrating the horrors of hell itself.

On November 5, 2002, when ICP released Shangri-La, they offered an explanation of the album, stating that it was designed purely for their loyal followers and family, called Juggalos.

This CD is the final chapter of the Joker's Card series and closes the body of Joker's Cards for Insane Clown Posse. This album was an anomaly in that it never mentions the word juggalo, and many of the songs feature Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope fictitiously dying, to be sent to Hell. Hell is depicted in the album as a place void of all hope and peace, where those who do not atone for their sins and follow the ways of Shangri-La will presumably be sent upon their death. The tone and style of this album is a marked departure from previous efforts by this band.

The included DVD video is a music video for the song "Bowling Balls", with something of a horror movie approach. The plotline is very simple: Violent J and his brother Shaggy 2 Dope own a bed and breakfast. Two teenage girls experience car problems near the establishment. They call for help from some of their friends and wait at the B&B. After everyone shows up, they start dying one by one. In the end, everyone other than Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope die. It is intended to resemble a low-budget horror movie, with humor.

This release comes in two versions.

  • Version 1 includes a bonus DVD with 2-D and 3-D versions of the mini-movie Bowling Balls.
  • Version 2 includes a bonus DVD with the video for Real Underground Baby. It also includes footage from the Bootlegged in Denver concert.
