"oh what's that? There's some demonic shit going on in my house? Let me fucking capture it via a camera and endanger me, my wife and everyone around me while I do extensive research on demonology and religion - just to do absolutely EVERYTHING they tell me not to do!" This fact has ALWAYS driven me insane. Let's put the fact aside that he's putting his wife in danger - I researched religion, demons and witches because I found them to be very interesting. After a week of research I knew well that I shouldn't fuck with ouija boards and NOT do stuff that might further keep the demon here. Ffs Micah, read a fucking book!
@@l0rdapophis Randy tried to tough it out but the demonic scratches and Tobi stirring up problems for him and a Katie was too much. He also tried the ‘what’s Bloody Mary’ card to dodge playing it with Katie only for Katie to look at him and say: “really?
So in demonology, there’s a phenomenon called perfect possession where the person is possessed so completely by the demon, they have no desire to fight it, and so the demon can take control at will. Because humans are so resilient, it rarely happens. But Katie could be an example of it.
I can tell you what went wrong in Ghost dimension. The family didn’t burn the sheet they captured Tobi in. The priest made it clear they not only need to capture the demon but also burn it. So the ritual wasn’t completed
UA-cam channel’s Foundflix did an ending explain on the Paranormal Activity franchise with all but next of kin in one video (next of kin wasn’t released yet so that ended up being in a separate video) and they brought up what the priest said had to be done in the ritual prior to it, but he was killed during the ritual and the family apparently forgot about the burning part.
I think some might have not noticed it because there was a light show when Tobi jumped into the circle with green flames. But if you looked back on it the priest never said Tobi have to go up on flames himself during the ritual for it to work. Just that Tobi has to be captured and burn. Plus, and I might be wrong on this, there was no signs of anything being burn after the ritual. No matter how something is burned there would be scorch marks or something to indicate something was burned. Especially from something as impured as a demon
It actually reminded me of the Bell Witch story about how the Bells tried to capture the witch the blanket and throw it into the fire but it backfired (bad pun intended).
@@JustTanya. yeah but I’m pretty sure in Ghost Dimension’s case the ritual was incomplete since the priest said so himself Tobi has to be captured and burned for the ritual to be a success. He just wasn’t specific on the burning part leaving the family unaware Tobi would produce his own flaming light show without being burned during the ritual. Although that should have been obvious to the family already since from their own research they know every place Tobi was associated too was eventually burned down. Obviously you cannot trust the flames produce by Tobi to complete the ritual
@@ashleighstratmann7783 Yeah, it was the same in with the Bell Witch. They were informed that they needed to capture the witch in a blanket and throw her into the fire. They tried to wrestle her in but she got free and ended up, pretty much torturing John Bell until he died. I think that case was the first documented death caused by an entity. The whole case is crazy since the haunting happened to many of the Bell family long after John Bell's death. Plus, the Bell Witch is a supposed "true story" as opposed to PA which isn't. But I am wondering if that's where they got the idea from in trying to trap and burn Tobi. 🤔At any rate, neither traps worked. 🤷🏻♀
He’s super patient too. He can wait for a male child for decades. He can wait for that male child to turn eighteen. Can’t fault him for that, even if it may be more effective for him to hurry the hell up.
@@valenciageode25 probably the most patient demon to ever live. Others would’ve probably killed everyone on sight and that’ll be the end of the franchise
Lesson learned from _The marked ones:_ when you attack a coven hideout, you don't carry _just_ two pump shotguns. You bring a lot of semiautomatic firepower and spare ammunition. And explosives.
And a machete, salt packed shells and an iron bar. Because nothing survives decapitation and salt and iron are elements known to repel/trap mal-entities.
Let’s face it. By the end of the first Paranormal Activity movie we all wanted Micah to die for making everything worse. I mean the guy burned a cross Katie was holding despite just earlier in the movie doing research on demons and should have known religious symbols like crosses keeps demons away
Plus let’s face it, it most likely Micah’s and probably Kristie’s husband’s fault for Tobi speeding up the possession of Katie and Kristie after they received their bites instead of a slow possession as shown with Jessie in the Mark Ones.
@@tayloranderson7547 why do you think the nanny was burning sage in Paranormal Activity 2. In Native American culture burning sage keeps bad spirits away and it must held truth to those of us who believed in the paranormal because now it’s part of many cleansing techniques to try and keep spirits away. That’s why I edited to add religious items like the cross. I seen a lot of shows with interviews of those that experience like the Haunting (which by the way were more entertaining than most of the early stunts Tobi pulled in each of the paranormal activity movies before he decides to amped it up). The main key is the belief of a higher being to protect you from demons and evil spirits. Religious item is just an item without the belief of what it represents. That’s what truly keeps demons and spirits away. But even then it sometimes takes something like an exorcism to do the trick. After all as the lesser key of Solomon shows, demons have a higher power too, and at the top of demon hierarchy of Hell is Lucifer himself.
@@tayloranderson7547 dude have you not seen the mark ones. Jessie was bitten early in the movie and yet he wasn’t fully possess until later in the movie. Kristie and Katie’s possession didn’t take half that long after they were bitten even if you combine the. Times they were bitten to when Tobi possessed them
@@tayloranderson7547he really did. The scene where Micah was antagonizing the demon with his equipment really pissed me off. He really thought he was above everything and really just made it worse
As a note, that embroidered 'Ouija board' that you mentioned on the wall in the Amish house is not that. It's something called a sampler, something people embroider in order to learn the steps, usually how to do letters so they can embroider messages on items. They're actually pretty common antiques. And even today people make them. It's not a Ouija board, just something perfectly normal and old-fashioned. It's also used as a "sample" of needlepoint skills to display for possible husbands/in-laws in order to prove they're competent at what was once considered a basic skill.
I remember seeing one of the later PA's, like 3 or 4 in theatres. The ending was just the absolute shittiest jumpscare I've ever seen, and some guy got up, threw his hands up, and yelled "I'M DONE". A lot of the people in the theatre laughed.
we need more of these Ars Goetia demons in horror movies. Malphus in annabelle, Valak in The Nun/The Conjuring, Paimon in Hereditary, and Asmodeus in Paranormal Activity.
@estebangutierrez160 it's so funny that Stolas is in helluva boss I recognized him from my time on Tumblr because there was a week or so where we all where reblogging info on Stolas, we just loved long leggy bord man. And now a whole new demographic loves Long leggy bord man (and his imp bf)
@@estebangutierrez160 andrealphus being an mf probably related but both astaroth (gary miller) and malphas (with an A) appeared in faith: the unholy trinity
Bro I've had this as a shower thought before. Demons are basically animalistic in nature and ancient, and have "never walked the Earth in human form". Meanwhile dinosaurs, also ancient, quite the natural species of animals... So, could it be possible, that demons aren't biblical, but just spirits of extinct creatures that were here long before we were, and even existed on the planet for way longer than we as humans have? Dinosaurs habited this planet for hundreds of millions of years. We've only been here for a couple hundred thousand up to MAYBE a couple million. However, what doesn't make sense is the intellect of demons. Your average raptor is only as smart as a dog or cat. Ironically, how they perceived raptors in Jurassic Park in terms of intelligence, is ACTUALLY how the T-Rex really was in real life, they were the smartest species of dinosaurs, with perfect vision, and arguably had better parental instincts than some humans out there today. Were it not for the cataclysmic event which took them, Tyrannosaurs rather than humans would've become the dominant species on this planet, but still doesn't exactly explain the intellect of other demons.
My favourite little headcanon is Tobi actually swings on the chandeliers like a little monkey man and that one Chandelier fell in i think PE3 because it wasnt fitted right so his weigut caused it to fall and Tobi was super embaraassed.
@@tangentartists6876 That's also probsbly what I imagined the first time. Like in all these demon or ghost movies I like to imagine the Demon/ghost physically doing all the spooky stuff but just being invisible. Makes it way more goofy.
@@Noobie2k7 - You might be onto something, though... In PA#3, Dennis is reprimanded by Kristie for asking if Tobi "...is fat...", to which she frowns and whispers, "Don't call him 'fat'."
@@metatronorder3565 This also happens in the human world, when someone higher up just for fun breaks the life of a lower one.And yes, at the same time, the sadist is having fun.
Dude this has to be your best Horror History episode to date. Honestly I'm all for you hosting a full on Horror History show on something like AMC+ or Max
Finally someone doing a full review of the PA franchise. Btw Marked Ones received a lot of unwarranted criticism. It’s one of the best in the series & adds to the story in a unique way.
I don't care what people say or think, this has been and always will be my favorite found footage horror series. I know im in the minority here but i do want one last movie to clean up the loose ends and give us a definitive ending.
Clover field is mine, but paranormal activity is definitely up there in the rankings. The couple is so cute when it starts but the boyfriend just has to be such a guy about it instead of validating his girls feelings. If your girl says mercury is in retrograde you just go with it man, don’t fight her about it.
Asmodeus is ranked as one of the 72 Demon of the Ars Goetia, where he serves as a King of Hell, while in the Peter Binsfeld classification of Demons he is one of the Seven Princes of Hell were he reigns over the Sin of Lust.
@@itsmainelyyou5541 Aparently it was originally az-mow-day-us but people say as-mow-dee-us because that is how an English speaker would read the word without knowing what it means or how it is pronounced, I guess.
@@a_random_soul_on_the_internet not to mention it's probably better not to invite these sorts of things on yourself by doin something as silly as pronouncing their names correctly
@@deanromanado5850yup it's all superstition. If you go back all Demons that weren't made up were originally pagan/polytheistic gods, before that they were the Heroes of Mythology. Beelzebub was originally Bellerophon and Baal was Bel who was the Sumerian king Kullasina-Bel. Baphomet was Khnum who is an Egyptian version of Prometheus.
Glad you figured out 'The Marked Ones,' I spent most of the film translating for my bestie and husband 😂 The lack of subtitles in that film, on important lines, was baffling.
One of the things that I didn't see you cover (or rather, one of the things you missed) is when Leila's mother rips the recorder out of Leila's grasp, Leila seems to spit out a bit of the black substance that has become synonymous with demonic possession in Hollywood movies
I won’t lie, Helluva Boss really made it so Asmodeus can’t ever be scary to me again. Big floofy lust demon gay mackin on a little disabled imp and then doing musical theater numbers together. The terror is gone now 😂
Same with Stolas. I recently got a the game Voices of the Void, and they use the Stolas Demon as one of the antagonists, and I just can't take it seriously anymore.
Yeahhhh, watching other series with demons in it can utterly devastate horror movies. I can never take the Nun seriously because of the Valak family from Iruma-kun. They are so wholesome!
In Ceremonial Magick, a magick system of which the Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis, popularly mistranslated as "The Lesser Key of Solomon" (the meaning of the word "Lemegeton" is unknown so the English translation is incorrect or at least incomplete), is a part of, the triangle with a circle in the middle is actually called "The Magickal Triangle of Solomon" or just "The Magickal Triangle". It reads "Michael" (this being the name of the Malakh (in Christianity the Malakhim are separated into two groups and called "Archangels" and "Angels") Michael) in its interior and it is placed to the East (usually) of The Magickal Circle (the latter allegedly protects the Conjurer from the influences of the Dæmon that is being summoned). The Triangle also has the words "Tetragrammaton" (which is one of the names of God), "Primeumaton" (the meaning of the word is unknown or debated upon) and "Anaphaxeton" (the meaning of the word is unknown or debated upon). Another important thing to note is that contrary to popular belief, the nobility titles of the Dæmons in the Ars Gœtia do not actually mean anything in terms of hierarchy. Asmodeus was not promoted from Prince to King, as Kings are not above Princes. The nobility titles are actually just keywords to help determine what celestial body rules that specific group of Dæmons, as approximately 90% of Ceremonial Magick is based on Astrology. Below is a list explaining what each nobility title actually means in the Ars Gœtia. Note that the use of the word "originally" in the list below is in reference to Pseudomonarchia Dæmonum, the source of inspiration for the Ars Gœtia, and other materials that served as a foundation for Ceremonial Magick in general, like Astrology and Alchemy. - Kings (originally "Rex") are Dæmons ruled by the Sun (originally "Sol"). Their metal is gold and their color is gold (some translations and/or adaptations say "yellow"). - Princes, also known as Prelates (originally "Princeps"), are Dæmons ruled by Jupiter (originally "Iuppiter"). Their metal is tin and their color is blue. - Dukes (originally "Dux") are Dæmons ruled by Venus. Their metal is copper and their color is green. - Marquesses (originally "Marchio") ("Marquis" is in French) are Dæmons ruled by the Earth's Moon (originally "Luna"). Their metal is silver and their color is silver (some translations and/or adaptations say "purple"). - Counts (originally "Comes") ("Earl" is in British) are Dæmons ruled by Mars (some translations and/or adaptations say "Venus and Luna"). Their metal is iron (some translations and/or adaptations say "copper and silver") and their color is red. - Barons, also known as Presidents (originally "Præses"), are Dæmons ruled by Mercury (originally "Mercurius"). Their metal is mercury (originally "quicksilver") and their color is orange. - Knight (originally "Miles") is a Dæmon ruled by Saturn (originally "Saturnus"). His metal is lead and his color is black. In the Ars Gœtia, Furcas is the only Knight. In summary, the 72 Dæmons of the Ars Gœtia are actually all equivalent in terms of hierarchy. However, they are under the rule of 4 so-called "Emperors". Each Emperor is assigned an element of the Zodiac and sometimes a point of the compass (although the points of the compass are assigned to different Dæmons in the second book of the Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis, the Ars Theurgia). Each Emperor rules 18 out of the 72 Dæmons (9 by day and 9 by night each). There is a lot of debate on which Emperor belongs to which element of the Zodiac, but by reading the entries of some of the Dæmons it is relatively easy to pinpoint the element of the Zodiac assigned to each Emperor. Below is a list of each Emperor and their respective attributes. - Gäap (the 33rd Dæmon of the Ars Gœtia is also called "Gäap", however, the grimoire treats both "Gäaps" as different Dæmons. Dæmons having equal or similar names in Ceremonial Magick is extremely common. Examples include Halphas/Malthus and Malphas, Aym and Amy, Vepar and Zepar, Furfur and Murmur, etcetera. To differentiate them, I call the 33rd Dæmon of the Ars Gœtia by one of his common aliases: "Täap", and reserve the name "Gäap" for the Emperor) is the Emperor of the element of Fire and his alleged point of the compass is the South. - Ziminiar is the Emperor of the element of Earth and his alleged point of the compass is the North. - Amaymon (who so happens to be the Emperor who rules Asmodeus) is the Emperor of the element of Air and his alleged point of the compass is the East. - Corson is the Emperor of the element of the Water and his alleged point of the compass is the West. I mentioned that the Ars Theurgia attributes different Dæmons to the points of the compass. In fact, it not only attributes 4 different Emperors to the points of the compass, but also 4 different Kings to the North, East, South and West under the rule of said Emperors as shown in the list below. - Demoriel is the Emperor of the North. - Carnesiel is the Emperor of the East. - Caspiel is the Emperor of the South. - Amenadiel is the Emperor of the West. - Raysiel (not to be confused with the Malakh/Archangel Raziel) is the King of the North under Demoriel. - Pamersiel is the King of the East under Carnesiel. - Barmiel is the King of the South under Caspiel. - Malgaras is the King of the West under Amenadiel Finally, to answer the common question of who is the most high amongst the most low, or which Dæmon is above all other Dæmons with no Dæmon above himself, the answer is Lucifer according to the Grimorium Verum, also called "The Grand Grimoire" in some translations and/or adaptations. However, I do not believe that Lucifer needs introduction. His apparently only 2 mentions in the Ars Gœtia is in the entry for the 9th Dæmon, King Paimon (Paimon is said to be the most obedient Dæmon to Lucifer out of the 72), and the 68th Dæmon, King Belial (Belial is said to have been created by God right after Lucifer). The only grimoire in traditional Ceremonial Magick that puts Lucifer in 2nd place, is The Book of Oberon, which attributes the title of "Emperor of all Dæmons" to an entity named "Tantavalerion". Do take everything that I said with a small grain of salt because Ceremonial Magick, Angelology, Dæmonology, Astrology and Alchemy are not exact sciences, obviously. They are occult sciences and there are many inconsistencies across grimoires. I have no idea if you are ever going to read this big comment (sorry for the amount of text), but if you do, I hope that it helps you in the future because I have seen you talk about "The Lesser Key of Solomon" a lot in your videos. Much love! ♥ Edits: Added some information and fixed some gramatical errors.
I just want to say i appreciate the hard work going into this video especially with a series with a lot of information missing. nearly an hour and a half of cz is a blessing.
@@GreyplayComicsYeah but the phrase was coined in 1969, so you can absolutely say the numerous California homes he was in in the 80's, 00's, and 10's were up to date
I guess Zach can manage to make Paranormal activity interesting. Honestly, Tobi/Asmodeus’s plan of child grooming and relying on kids to convince the family to move in with their grandma, or whatever that prequel was going on about, isn’t that great. Grooming is scary but clearly it wasn’t effective. But I’m sure this channel can pull it off.
To be fair, when the plan of having the groomed child convince mom to go to grandma's didn't work on mom, he then wrecked their house right in front of her. Which made her change her mind, real quick.
I love playing these videos in the back whilst I'm doing something else, I appreciate the amount of work and effort you put into them, thank you brother!
One thing you missed was the Rays house was trashed in 2006 not because someone popped into reality there but because the midwives were looking for the tapes. Thayer state that those were the only things taken.

There's nothing better than an extremely long video by ma boy CZsWorld! Damn finally something about Paranormal Activity, I really do appreciate you putting so much effort into creating these awesome videos
I kind of love the idea of someone summoning Asmodeus for the sole purpose of learning advanced crochet techniques. Side note, can confirm we have horrible demon prisons in the Buffalo area.
Omg, I love that you've done a deep dive on Tobi!! Paranormal Activity is one of my favourite franchises... I know it kinda lost its way, but I still adore it for the lore. Thanks for taking this on... very excited to watch this!!
I didnt even watch the paranormal activity movies, i honestly think id like these breakdowns better lol thanks for all the effort and research you put in! This channel is a gem. I even love the dorky jokes hahah
Great job, Zack! Not only in explaining this franchise, but also in explaining much of the lore of Asmadeus. And, as you know, there is an absolute f**k-ton (that's metric, I'm pretty sure 😏) of material to sift through when it comes to demonology; especially, concerning this particular demon. I've long thought this franchise quickly spun out into the ridiculous. Though, I still say the first one is a pretty well done little horror movie. The simplicity of cinematography, the slow tension building, and the excellent sound design (multiple scenes gave me chills, all effective due to the sound). Good stuff! Until next time, GO CUBS!!!
The first one wasn’t made for a sequel. And since the main character died, they largely ended up in a “prequel-trap” where they have to instead go further and further back. Seems they got out of it but it didn’t make sense. Happened to the Insidious Franchise too, but it’s my understanding they pulled it off better.
My only confusion with it is the symbol part - Everywhere I check As's symbol looks nothing like that - It's the Hermetic symbol that represents elements and unity.
But what confuses me is... Toby goes through the portal in time at the end of The Ghost Dimension, so he's now in the 80's but it's not what happened in the original videos that got found. But I wanna know what happened with Tobi after the end of the film
Hey CZ, love the channel! I just wanted to share, that Magick and Demonology absolutely DO exist in the real world. They just aren't what's portrayed in the movies.
Regarding the 5 years gap, I’ve seen some discussions online about Katie giving Hunter for adoption so it would be easier to avoid the police, since she wouldn’t have to care for a child. Also it would give time for Hunter to grow while preparing everything for that other girl to be possessed. Also giving Hunter to another family would facilitate the restart of the hauntings cycle (since Hunter would be around age 5-8 like previously seen) Making Tobi stronger for whatever ritual was going on in the 6th movie.
Hell House LLC would be great for this series! I recently went to where it was filmed, and got to go inside the house, and take pictures with the clowns and meet the director (he’s really nice!) for their Halfway to Halloween event. it’s my favorite movie so it would be awesome to watch you do a horror history on it !
That part about using the smoke of a burning fish to scare away the demon makes me think maybe my old boss was actually doing us a favor by microwaving fish in the break room.
Say what you want but The Paranormal Activity movies are some of the best POV paranormal horror movies made to date. They way they all intertwined with each other and how the Ghost Dimension literally tied everything together. Chefs kiss.
Yeah the only other ones I can think of that weren’t total crap were Quarantine and that one Big Foot one the Blair witch people made… and I’ve seen a ton of 1st person pov movies. I really liked the first PA.
@@mommalion7028 - The movie is "Exists", and yes, it is very good. Might we recommend "The Collingswood Story"...it's rather old, but the last 10 minutes *still* hold up as genuine 'creep-out'. 😨
Not gonna lie, the PA series is a huge guilty pleasure of mine. Yeah there a lot of plot holes and lots of space where nothing happens. But it’s still a fun time. And I appreciate the deep dive too, a lot of this went over my head.
I think what helps with the other timelines and why you felt something was missing from them, it's most likely why so many of the movies had alternate endings (even if a good chunk of them didn't get released) It shows that in those Timelines Tobi failed nd why he opened portals to get a "do Over" until he got the timeline where he won
CZ, this video was an absolute nightmare to get through. The Ghost Dimension Camera just. Oh my god. No. Why. No. BUT. It must have been like 50 times worse for you. This is a fucking spaghettified mess. You're a hero.
Good Work CZ! I thought "There must be one or two films I'd missed" but, sadly, no... I've watched this entire mess! Makes much more sense now though, might marathon it again if I ever suffer a traumatic brain injury. Thanks!
Just be glad you didn’t bring up the alternate ending of ghost dimension where Leila family survived and Leila meets and befriends Katie and Kristie as kids. I think Hunter was there too
Ironically I was watching an episode of Face off where one of the finalist had to make a costume and make up for Asmodius for the finals yesterday. And now a video on Asmodius from Paranormal Activity was posted
@@Moondust_Maedae yeah I wish they did a season where all the champions actually compete against each other to see who was the best artist of all champions. Not just the all star seasons they had. And not like season 9 where three champions mentored 5 contestants each at the start. Although I like season 9 that really didn’t prove who was the best champion of the three as make up artist. Especially since Anthony who was eliminated during the season after all his contestants were eliminated already had a student who won a previous season: Dina.
I know because Dina is one of my favorite face off champions thanks to that AWESOME giant female Mantis costume she single handedly pulled off making in the time frame she was given
Sad to say the season Dina won was also the same season with my least favorite costume was made: the one with Athena turned to stone by Medusa’s head which somehow can still control her. That made absolutely no sense in terms of Greek Mythology. It was not made by Dina, but by another talented artist Sasha. I still wish Sasha went with Artemis instead since she wasn’t selected. Not only that be easy (like you would think Athena would be) but the required props (that I won’t go into detail so this reply wouldn’t be removed) would be a lot easier to choose from for the makeup as Artemis is the goddess of the Hunt.
Or at least put Medusa’s head on that shield prop use to represent Athena to replicate her shield Aegis, don’t turn her into a statue and add some scrolls or parchment for the model to hold in the other hand to show off Athena’s wise side as it shouldn’t take too long to put together a scroll or parchment
I was such a big fan of these movies when I was younger. Thank you soo much for making this vid. Definately gonna dust off the bovie box and re-watch them after this vid
There was a scrapped sequel called Paranormal Activity 8: The Other Side, so that might have explained a few things between the movies, but what happened to the house after Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension.
Maybe the markings on Kristies easel are actually another time door and that’s why when Emily travels through the door in Leila’s room, that’s why it spits her out in Kristie and Katie’s bedroom
One of the best things to come out of YT, i would say, are these horror movie recap channels. Always been fascinated by spooky things, but react too poorly to the movies themselves. Having guys like Zack of Mista GG drecap it, and then crack jokes and point plot holes, it's allowed me to experience the movies without losing sleep. Thanks Zack!
The scariest thing about the “Paranormal Activity” series, was how *scary* good the marketing was, that’s about it, lol. I love these videos that CZ does, it makes these boring movies look like they are actually entertaining
"Asmodeus teaches handicrafts" this is actually brilliant, it explains Asmodeus being so friendly to Kristi as she's drawing or painting despite not being his preferred host. Demon just likes him some arts and crafts and respects a mortal practitioner.

I'm probably one of the few non-ironic fans of Paranormal Activity, but still i didnt fully understand what is going on. Even though i figured out like half of the connections through the storyline, this is exactly the video I've needed for like 5 years now XD There are other videos that have been made about the story but they are condescending and over-meme'd (if that makes sense at all) and tend to just make me stop listening or just not able to understand the youtubers' sequence that they're trying to present. But this was a great balance! You stay on track and are still super hilarious XD Definitely subscribing and watching the rest of your awesome catalog!
Thank u, Professor! Nobody's covered Tobi's backstory but of course I can count on u to always bring the interesting and awesome, and u really did ur thang, as usual!!! Out of all the PA characters I think Micah's definitely my top choice to be unalived? He actually assisted Tobi in making Katie miserable until her spirit was broken down enough to become Tobi's puppet. I get he's a demon but I thought he'd at least be nicer to the little girls when they got older and it's crazy how close he was to Katie, yet and still he just killed her? The Paranormal Activity series is like Game of Thrones, because u get used to the main stars and they end up getting whacked after Tobi's had his fun? Oh well, I'll see next time hoping we both survive?
Points to the babysitter from Paranormal 3, a character who left and never fucking once looked back. Good job that girl.

I can tell you what went wrong in Ghost dimension. The family didn’t burn the sheet they captured Tobi in. The priest made it clear they not only need to capture the demon but also burn it. So the ritual wasn’t completed
UA-cam channel’s Foundflix did an ending explain on the Paranormal Activity franchise with all but next of kin in one video (next of kin wasn’t released yet so that ended up being in a separate video) and they brought up what the priest said had to be done in the ritual prior to it, but he was killed during the ritual and the family apparently forgot about the burning part.
I think some might have not noticed it because there was a light show when Tobi jumped into the circle with green flames. But if you looked back on it the priest never said Tobi have to go up on flames himself during the ritual for it to work. Just that Tobi has to be captured and burn. Plus, and I might be wrong on this, there was no signs of anything being burn after the ritual. No matter how something is burned there would be scorch marks or something to indicate something was burned. Especially from something as impured as a demon
It actually reminded me of the Bell Witch story about how the Bells tried to capture the witch the blanket and throw it into the fire but it backfired (bad pun intended).
@@JustTanya. yeah but I’m pretty sure in Ghost Dimension’s case the ritual was incomplete since the priest said so himself Tobi has to be captured and burned for the ritual to be a success. He just wasn’t specific on the burning part leaving the family unaware Tobi would produce his own flaming light show without being burned during the ritual. Although that should have been obvious to the family already since from their own research they know every place Tobi was associated too was eventually burned down. Obviously you cannot trust the flames produce by Tobi to complete the ritual
@@ashleighstratmann7783 Yeah, it was the same in with the Bell Witch. They were informed that they needed to capture the witch in a blanket and throw her into the fire. They tried to wrestle her in but she got free and ended up, pretty much torturing John Bell until he died. I think that case was the first documented death caused by an entity. The whole case is crazy since the haunting happened to many of the Bell family long after John Bell's death. Plus, the Bell Witch is a supposed "true story" as opposed to PA which isn't. But I am wondering if that's where they got the idea from in trying to trap and burn Tobi. 🤔At any rate, neither traps worked. 🤷🏻♀
Asmodeus really a grudge holder 💀 bro didn’t let it slide even after all these millenniums. Gotta really respect the guy, he stands on business 😭

Lesson learned from _The marked ones:_ when you attack a coven hideout, you don't carry _just_ two pump shotguns. You bring a lot of semiautomatic firepower and spare ammunition. And explosives.
And a machete, salt packed shells and an iron bar. Because nothing survives decapitation and salt and iron are elements known to repel/trap mal-entities.
And a flamethrower

Let’s face it. By the end of the first Paranormal Activity movie we all wanted Micah to die for making everything worse. I mean the guy burned a cross Katie was holding despite just earlier in the movie doing research on demons and should have known religious symbols like crosses keeps demons away
Plus let’s face it, it most likely Micah’s and probably Kristie’s husband’s fault for Tobi speeding up the possession of Katie and Kristie after they received their bites instead of a slow possession as shown with Jessie in the Mark Ones.
Desperate just earlier in the movie 🎥 doing research on demons and should have known religious symbols like crosses keeps demons away. For real life.
Bestes instead of a slow possession as shown with Jessie in the Mark ones . For real life.
@@tayloranderson7547 why do you think the nanny was burning sage in Paranormal Activity 2. In Native American culture burning sage keeps bad spirits away and it must held truth to those of us who believed in the paranormal because now it’s part of many cleansing techniques to try and keep spirits away. That’s why I edited to add religious items like the cross.
I seen a lot of shows with interviews of those that experience like the Haunting (which by the way were more entertaining than most of the early stunts Tobi pulled in each of the paranormal activity movies before he decides to amped it up).
The main key is the belief of a higher being to protect you from demons and evil spirits. Religious item is just an item without the belief of what it represents. That’s what truly keeps demons and spirits away. But even then it sometimes takes something like an exorcism to do the trick. After all as the lesser key of Solomon shows, demons have a higher power too, and at the top of demon hierarchy of Hell is Lucifer himself.
@@tayloranderson7547 dude have you not seen the mark ones. Jessie was bitten early in the movie and yet he wasn’t fully possess until later in the movie. Kristie and Katie’s possession didn’t take half that long after they were bitten even if you combine the. Times they were bitten to when Tobi possessed them
Even as a kid, I always thought Micah made everything worse… he wasn’t a good bf.

"A moment of silence for the sound guy." Made me cackle. I got the joke immediately
The af joke got me lol. Tobi goes hard af
As a note, that embroidered 'Ouija board' that you mentioned on the wall in the Amish house is not that. It's something called a sampler, something people embroider in order to learn the steps, usually how to do letters so they can embroider messages on items. They're actually pretty common antiques. And even today people make them. It's not a Ouija board, just something perfectly normal and old-fashioned. It's also used as a "sample" of needlepoint skills to display for possible husbands/in-laws in order to prove they're competent at what was once considered a basic skill.
Thanks for explaining this
I remember seeing one of the later PA's, like 3 or 4 in theatres. The ending was just the absolute shittiest jumpscare I've ever seen, and some guy got up, threw his hands up, and yelled "I'M DONE". A lot of the people in the theatre laughed.
lol 😂
Half the theatre laughed at the ending of the first Saw movie because it was just so bad.

Proposal: Tobi is the ghost of a dinosaur.
_All_ demons are ghost dinosaurs.
Dinosaur Ghosts are now part of the strict doctrine in my newfound religion; sign ups are taken here:
Bro I've had this as a shower thought before. Demons are basically animalistic in nature and ancient, and have "never walked the Earth in human form". Meanwhile dinosaurs, also ancient, quite the natural species of animals... So, could it be possible, that demons aren't biblical, but just spirits of extinct creatures that were here long before we were, and even existed on the planet for way longer than we as humans have? Dinosaurs habited this planet for hundreds of millions of years. We've only been here for a couple hundred thousand up to MAYBE a couple million.
However, what doesn't make sense is the intellect of demons. Your average raptor is only as smart as a dog or cat. Ironically, how they perceived raptors in Jurassic Park in terms of intelligence, is ACTUALLY how the T-Rex really was in real life, they were the smartest species of dinosaurs, with perfect vision, and arguably had better parental instincts than some humans out there today. Were it not for the cataclysmic event which took them, Tyrannosaurs rather than humans would've become the dominant species on this planet, but still doesn't exactly explain the intellect of other demons.
My favourite little headcanon is Tobi actually swings on the chandeliers like a little monkey man and that one Chandelier fell in i think PE3 because it wasnt fitted right so his weigut caused it to fall and Tobi was super embaraassed.
I was picturing the ghosts swinging on the chandelier in the Haunted Mansion. 😂
Embarrassed. for real life that is so awesome 😎.
@@tangentartists6876 That's also probsbly what I imagined the first time. Like in all these demon or ghost movies I like to imagine the Demon/ghost physically doing all the spooky stuff but just being invisible. Makes it way more goofy.

@@Noobie2k7 - You might be onto something, though...
In PA#3, Dennis is reprimanded by Kristie for asking if Tobi "...is fat...", to which she frowns and whispers, "Don't call him 'fat'."

I don't know why but Hector just flopping over is absolutely sending me.
Asmodeus sounds like a stomach medication.
In Ceremonial Magick, a magick system of which the Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis, popularly mistranslated as "The Lesser Key of Solomon" (the meaning of the word "Lemegeton" is unknown so the English translation is incorrect or at least incomplete), is a part of, the triangle with a circle in the middle is actually called "The Magickal Triangle of Solomon" or just "The Magickal Triangle". It reads "Michael" (this being the name of the Malakh (in Christianity the Malakhim are separated into two groups and called "Archangels" and "Angels") Michael) in its interior and it is placed to the East (usually) of The Magickal Circle (the latter allegedly protects the Conjurer from the influences of the Dæmon that is being summoned). The Triangle also has the words "Tetragrammaton" (which is one of the names of God), "Primeumaton" (the meaning of the word is unknown or debated upon) and "Anaphaxeton" (the meaning of the word is unknown or debated upon).
Another important thing to note is that contrary to popular belief, the nobility titles of the Dæmons in the Ars Gœtia do not actually mean anything in terms of hierarchy. Asmodeus was not promoted from Prince to King, as Kings are not above Princes. The nobility titles are actually just keywords to help determine what celestial body rules that specific group of Dæmons, as approximately 90% of Ceremonial Magick is based on Astrology. Below is a list explaining what each nobility title actually means in the Ars Gœtia. Note that the use of the word "originally" in the list below is in reference to Pseudomonarchia Dæmonum, the source of inspiration for the Ars Gœtia, and other materials that served as a foundation for Ceremonial Magick in general, like Astrology and Alchemy.
- Kings (originally "Rex") are Dæmons ruled by the Sun (originally "Sol"). Their metal is gold and their color is gold (some translations and/or adaptations say "yellow").
- Princes, also known as Prelates (originally "Princeps"), are Dæmons ruled by Jupiter (originally "Iuppiter"). Their metal is tin and their color is blue.
- Dukes (originally "Dux") are Dæmons ruled by Venus. Their metal is copper and their color is green.
- Marquesses (originally "Marchio") ("Marquis" is in French) are Dæmons ruled by the Earth's Moon (originally "Luna"). Their metal is silver and their color is silver (some translations and/or adaptations say "purple").
- Counts (originally "Comes") ("Earl" is in British) are Dæmons ruled by Mars (some translations and/or adaptations say "Venus and Luna"). Their metal is iron (some translations and/or adaptations say "copper and silver") and their color is red.
- Barons, also known as Presidents (originally "Præses"), are Dæmons ruled by Mercury (originally "Mercurius"). Their metal is mercury (originally "quicksilver") and their color is orange.
- Knight (originally "Miles") is a Dæmon ruled by Saturn (originally "Saturnus"). His metal is lead and his color is black. In the Ars Gœtia, Furcas is the only Knight.
In summary, the 72 Dæmons of the Ars Gœtia are actually all equivalent in terms of hierarchy. However, they are under the rule of 4 so-called "Emperors". Each Emperor is assigned an element of the Zodiac and sometimes a point of the compass (although the points of the compass are assigned to different Dæmons in the second book of the Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis, the Ars Theurgia). Each Emperor rules 18 out of the 72 Dæmons (9 by day and 9 by night each). There is a lot of debate on which Emperor belongs to which element of the Zodiac, but by reading the entries of some of the Dæmons it is relatively easy to pinpoint the element of the Zodiac assigned to each Emperor. Below is a list of each Emperor and their respective attributes.
- Gäap (the 33rd Dæmon of the Ars Gœtia is also called "Gäap", however, the grimoire treats both "Gäaps" as different Dæmons. Dæmons having equal or similar names in Ceremonial Magick is extremely common. Examples include Halphas/Malthus and Malphas, Aym and Amy, Vepar and Zepar, Furfur and Murmur, etcetera. To differentiate them, I call the 33rd Dæmon of the Ars Gœtia by one of his common aliases: "Täap", and reserve the name "Gäap" for the Emperor) is the Emperor of the element of Fire and his alleged point of the compass is the South.
- Ziminiar is the Emperor of the element of Earth and his alleged point of the compass is the North.
- Amaymon (who so happens to be the Emperor who rules Asmodeus) is the Emperor of the element of Air and his alleged point of the compass is the East.
- Corson is the Emperor of the element of the Water and his alleged point of the compass is the West.
I mentioned that the Ars Theurgia attributes different Dæmons to the points of the compass. In fact, it not only attributes 4 different Emperors to the points of the compass, but also 4 different Kings to the North, East, South and West under the rule of said Emperors as shown in the list below.
- Demoriel is the Emperor of the North.
- Carnesiel is the Emperor of the East.
- Caspiel is the Emperor of the South.
- Amenadiel is the Emperor of the West.
- Raysiel (not to be confused with the Malakh/Archangel Raziel) is the King of the North under Demoriel.
- Pamersiel is the King of the East under Carnesiel.
- Barmiel is the King of the South under Caspiel.
- Malgaras is the King of the West under Amenadiel
Finally, to answer the common question of who is the most high amongst the most low, or which Dæmon is above all other Dæmons with no Dæmon above himself, the answer is Lucifer according to the Grimorium Verum, also called "The Grand Grimoire" in some translations and/or adaptations. However, I do not believe that Lucifer needs introduction. His apparently only 2 mentions in the Ars Gœtia is in the entry for the 9th Dæmon, King Paimon (Paimon is said to be the most obedient Dæmon to Lucifer out of the 72), and the 68th Dæmon, King Belial (Belial is said to have been created by God right after Lucifer). The only grimoire in traditional Ceremonial Magick that puts Lucifer in 2nd place, is The Book of Oberon, which attributes the title of "Emperor of all Dæmons" to an entity named "Tantavalerion".
Do take everything that I said with a small grain of salt because Ceremonial Magick, Angelology, Dæmonology, Astrology and Alchemy are not exact sciences, obviously. They are occult sciences and there are many inconsistencies across grimoires. I have no idea if you are ever going to read this big comment (sorry for the amount of text), but if you do, I hope that it helps you in the future because I have seen you talk about "The Lesser Key of Solomon" a lot in your videos. Much love! ♥

I guess Zach can manage to make Paranormal activity interesting. Honestly, Tobi/Asmodeus’s plan of child grooming and relying on kids to convince the family to move in with their grandma, or whatever that prequel was going on about, isn’t that great. Grooming is scary but clearly it wasn’t effective. But I’m sure this channel can pull it off.
To be fair, when the plan of having the groomed child convince mom to go to grandma's didn't work on mom, he then wrecked their house right in front of her. Which made her change her mind, real quick.

Great job, Zack! Not only in explaining this franchise, but also in explaining much of the lore of Asmadeus. And, as you know, there is an absolute f**k-ton (that's metric, I'm pretty sure 😏) of material to sift through when it comes to demonology; especially, concerning this particular demon.
I've long thought this franchise quickly spun out into the ridiculous. Though, I still say the first one is a pretty well done little horror movie. The simplicity of cinematography, the slow tension building, and the excellent sound design (multiple scenes gave me chills, all effective due to the sound). Good stuff!
Until next time, GO CUBS!!!
The first one wasn’t made for a sequel. And since the main character died, they largely ended up in a “prequel-trap” where they have to instead go further and further back. Seems they got out of it but it didn’t make sense. Happened to the Insidious Franchise too, but it’s my understanding they pulled it off better.
My only confusion with it is the symbol part - Everywhere I check As's symbol looks nothing like that - It's the Hermetic symbol that represents elements and unity.
@DoomBringerDANTE probably the production crew using some "creative freedoms"
But what confuses me is... Toby goes through the portal in time at the end of The Ghost Dimension, so he's now in the 80's but it's not what happened in the original videos that got found. But I wanna know what happened with Tobi after the end of the film
Hey CZ, love the channel! I just wanted to share, that Magick and Demonology absolutely DO exist in the real world. They just aren't what's portrayed in the movies.
Regarding the 5 years gap, I’ve seen some discussions online about Katie giving Hunter for adoption so it would be easier to avoid the police, since she wouldn’t have to care for a child. Also it would give time for Hunter to grow while preparing everything for that other girl to be possessed. Also giving Hunter to another family would facilitate the restart of the hauntings cycle (since Hunter would be around age 5-8 like previously seen) Making Tobi stronger for whatever ritual was going on in the 6th movie.
Hell House LLC would be great for this series! I recently went to where it was filmed, and got to go inside the house, and take pictures with the clowns and meet the director (he’s really nice!) for their Halfway to Halloween event. it’s my favorite movie so it would be awesome to watch you do a horror history on it !
That part about using the smoke of a burning fish to scare away the demon makes me think maybe my old boss was actually doing us a favor by microwaving fish in the break room.

I think what helps with the other timelines and why you felt something was missing from them, it's most likely why so many of the movies had alternate endings (even if a good chunk of them didn't get released) It shows that in those Timelines Tobi failed nd why he opened portals to get a "do Over" until he got the timeline where he won

Especially since Anthony who was eliminated during the season after all his contestants were eliminated already had a student who won a previous season: Dina.
I know because Dina is one of my favorite face off champions thanks to that AWESOME giant female Mantis costume she single handedly pulled off making in the time frame she was given
Sad to say the season Dina won was also the same season with my least favorite costume was made: the one with Athena turned to stone by Medusa’s head which somehow can still control her. That made absolutely no sense in terms of Greek Mythology. It was not made by Dina, but by another talented artist Sasha.
I still wish Sasha went with Artemis instead since she wasn’t selected. Not only that be easy (like you would think Athena would be) but the required props (that I won’t go into detail so this reply wouldn’t be removed) would be a lot easier to choose from for the makeup as Artemis is the goddess of the Hunt.
Or at least put Medusa’s head on that shield prop use to represent Athena to replicate her shield Aegis, don’t turn her into a statue and add some scrolls or parchment for the model to hold in the other hand to show off Athena’s wise side as it shouldn’t take too long to put together a scroll or parchment
Someone thought it was a video about helluva boss's asmodeus 💀
I was such a big fan of these movies when I was younger. Thank you soo much for making this vid. Definately gonna dust off the bovie box and re-watch them after this vid
There was a scrapped sequel called Paranormal Activity 8: The Other Side, so that might have explained a few things between the movies, but what happened to the house after Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension.
New Subscriber! I love your deep dives! Thanks!
Welcome aboard!
Dude, love your videos. I'm a horror fanatic and didn't know I needed this one
Maybe the markings on Kristies easel are actually another time door and that’s why when Emily travels through the door in Leila’s room, that’s why it spits her out in Kristie and Katie’s bedroom
One of the best things to come out of YT, i would say, are these horror movie recap channels. Always been fascinated by spooky things, but react too poorly to the movies themselves. Having guys like Zack of Mista GG drecap it, and then crack jokes and point plot holes, it's allowed me to experience the movies without losing sleep. Thanks Zack!
The sound guy just wanted to be heard. What a tragedy.
The scariest thing about the “Paranormal Activity” series, was how *scary* good the marketing was, that’s about it, lol.
I love these videos that CZ does, it makes these boring movies look like they are actually entertaining
Actually, the first one was so good maybe one of the best horror movies, and the rest r mid 👍🏽
@@M._.Almuntadhr I didn’t find it entertaining in the least, but that’s just me.
Glad you were able to enjoy it tho!
"Asmodeus teaches handicrafts" this is actually brilliant, it explains Asmodeus being so friendly to Kristi as she's drawing or painting despite not being his preferred host. Demon just likes him some arts and crafts and respects a mortal practitioner.
Great job! this was far more entertaining than the films themselves
Your demon host asmodeus the embodiment of lust
Yeah watch the video lol
🎶GIMME A THRUST🎶

ive been wanting this for SO long. you are the goat brother!
Thank you so much. Hearing your thought process is so helpful 😊
Just got home from work, best way to relax :)
I love his videos. I'm watching Stranger Things now and soon I'll binge all his videos on Stranger Things. Also "Steve Harrington" Is best man ever.
Just imagine; before I clicked on this video I only thought there was like 2 paranormal activity movies. I had absolutely no idea what in the world was going to happen next this entire video lol.
Excellent video! I respect the grind
Usually when I hear Asmodeus I think of Asmodeus from Helluva Boss
When i hear Asmodeus, I think of Supernatural. The guy who looks and sounds like a young demonic Colonel Sanders.
Having just watched Helluva Boss, hearing this demon called Asmodeus was a wild moment lol.
I was raised on these movies the whole series has always been my main obsession and favorite movies of all time i got so happy when i saw you posted this
I'm probably one of the few non-ironic fans of Paranormal Activity, but still i didnt fully understand what is going on. Even though i figured out like half of the connections through the storyline, this is exactly the video I've needed for like 5 years now XD There are other videos that have been made about the story but they are condescending and over-meme'd (if that makes sense at all) and tend to just make me stop listening or just not able to understand the youtubers' sequence that they're trying to present. But this was a great balance! You stay on track and are still super hilarious XD Definitely subscribing and watching the rest of your awesome catalog!
Any Hellava Boss fans just laughing because of the image of Asmodius they have in there head?...... just me?......ok
I’m picturing him too.
This asmodeus is completely different bro is out for blood
Anyone else immediately think of Ozzie?
Thank u, Professor! Nobody's covered Tobi's backstory but of course I can count on u to always bring the interesting and awesome, and u really did ur thang, as usual!!! Out of all the PA characters I think Micah's definitely my top choice to be unalived? He actually assisted Tobi in making Katie miserable until her spirit was broken down enough to become Tobi's puppet. I get he's a demon but I thought he'd at least be nicer to the little girls when they got older and it's crazy how close he was to Katie, yet and still he just killed her? The Paranormal Activity series is like Game of Thrones, because u get used to the main stars and they end up getting whacked after Tobi's had his fun? Oh well, I'll see next time hoping we both survive?
Your hard work, attention to detail and delivery, is simply remarkable. Honestly appreciate your work so much man. Thank you for this channel
