18 Demonic Movies to Stir up Your Satanic Panic
Demons can be a little tricky to define, and sometimes in horror the term is used as a generic term for anything that isn’t a ghost, werewolf, witch, vampire, or other easily identifiable monster. Sometimes Satan intervenes, but only sometimes.
One constant, at least in the movies: the demon is an independent entity that is worthless. This usually manifests itself from some other place, which may or may not be what some religions consider to be hell; often they can take possession of us, poor mortals, and force us to follow their orders and / or swear very badly. Sometimes they look terrible (who’s to judge?), Although they can also look a little like Megan Fox or dress in a very elegant top hat and cape like our gentle friend Babadouk. While they are usually presented as pure evil, the most interesting films tend to assume that the real demons are the metaphorical demons within us all. Whether the power of Christ makes you open HBO Max or you feel like today is a great day for exorcism, here are some demonic movies that will spark your satanic panic ahead of Halloween.
