12 Soul Corrupting And Hideous Demons In Horror Movies - Backstories Explained

Stories about demons have existed since the beginning of time. A lot of the horrifying demons we see in the movies were inspired by the Bible, Greek mythology, and demonic texts from ancient religions. What makes the demon truly terrifying? Is it their ability to possess humans and hurt their loved ones? Is it their ability to lurk around without being detected? Or is it how they use their supernatural powers to haunt the new residents who have moved into abandoned manors? The origin story of some of the demons makes us sympathize with their tragic lives. They make us question our concept of good and evil. We do tell ourselves that ghosts and demons aren’t real. Yet, we spend sleepless nights after watching a horror movie, based on a true story. Be it the documentary-styled Paranormal Activities or the encounters of Ed and Lorraine from The Conjuring. Today, we will dive into the origin stories of twelve soul-corrupting and hideous demons in horror movies. Discretion for some of our viewers, some of them are based on true stories.
