Devil cult people in movies are always trying to summon demons. I’m not sure why you’d want one, but apparently they’re always full of rage and murder and soul stealing and such. But why do they act like this? I think I might have an idea.
Imagine you’re a demon, minding his own business, when you get conjured up by some yahoo metalhead devil worshippers listening to Deicide. Well, what was the demon doing when he got summoned? Maybe he was sitting on the toilet. Maybe he was about to win at Bingo. Maybe he was hooking up with some hot Coop-style devil girl/succubus, when he gets sucked up into the mortal realm. Wouldn’t you be annoyed too? And when he gets back, the devil girl will probably say: “You’re always getting summoned when I want to cuddle, so I found a new demon boyfriend.”
Now that’s going to make you mad, I’ll bet. No wonder they’re so vengeful. But shouldn’t they direct their rage at their summoners, rather than doing their bidding?
But isn’t it surprising they never seem to look at it like a holiday from hell? I mean, they never show up in a bathing suit with flippers and a snorkel mask, or wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a touristy camera hanging around their necks. They’re always mad and all business. (Don’t they know that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy?) Even genies rejoice when they escape their bottle prisons; well, after killing some people. (Hmm, maybe they aren’t so different after all?)
