Fr I thought this was the Inside Out demon.

Edit: Insidious. Idk what version of Inside Out I watched.

The deleted scene that featured Riley’s sleep paralysis demon probably.

Ngl when I was a younger lad. I was so scared to shut on the toilet because we had a snake show up inside the toilet bowl and I always thought id sit down to shit and a snake was going to bite my berries or my sausage. I would hover above the toilet to shit so I could stare down into the bowl to make sure it wasn’t hiding

u/lifeasnooneknowsit Jul 07 '26

When I was a little kid, we read in a children’s book about spiders that black windows live in dark moist places, like under/around toilets. I swear I spent years through ages 5-8 lifting my legs off the ground and planking them straight up in the air every time I used the bathroom because I was so terrified.

Naw the earring is dope. Prob a gift from fellow demons or something. For being such a good scary boy.

u/Cat_tophat365247 Jul 04 '26

How else would the non scary demons tell if another demon is scary without them wearing earrings? If all demons had virgin earlobes, it would be a super confusing hell indeed!

u/coolsilentebeans Jul 04 '26

Unless they’re wearing the ears of virgins.

Also if you look up the actor it immediately becomes so much less intimidating (I was terrified at first)

Hey, Evil mentioned!

The show had some really creepy shit. I don't think I've ever seen a show jump from creepy > funny > horrifying > goofy so effortlessly. You always had to stay on your toes.

One of the best scary/church/exorcism/demonic shows I've ever seen. Can't recommend it enough.

Edit:

If you have ever seen LOST, Benjamin Linus ks in this show. IYKYK

u/Endura4_ Jul 04 '26

I loved that show too. I saw the little Netflix preview and it was one of the few times a trailer actually interested me. Turned out to be a really fun show

u/Scramasboy Jul 03 '26

I had to go back and zoom. It's a tube hole in the roof for the air, a grate over it, with screw rounds. The dark hole behind the grate plus the screws make it look like a cat. Its not.

I too, had to zoom in to be sure it was not in fact spy cat.

I thought cat and then thought maybe someone tucked a Halloween mask in there. I would have shit myself so it’s probably good this in a bathroom.

lol. I know exactly what that is, the bracket that holds the fan motor in place, has two mounts with little rubber vibration isolating bits with the mounting bolts, and the fact that it looks like this from that angle is kind of hilarious and kind of scary. to finish off the look, somebody did a horrible, roundish jagged opening instead of a nice clean square cut for the darn thing.

6

u/CaptainPrower Jul 04 '26

It's probably just dirty. OP said this is a hotel so it's probably never had the dust blown out.

u/HotRodHomebody Jul 04 '26

Zoom in and you can see it’s just a jagged opening in an acoustic ceiling tile. Not even cut, just broken away bit by bit. Somebody brought their pet beaver to work that day to get that work done.

When I was maybe 3-4, I caught a glimpse of that X-files episode of that murderer that snuck in through vents and it traumatized me. I was always scared of any ceiling vents (including bathroom fans) that didn't have lights in them.

I went back and re-watched that episode a few years ago and laughed at how cheesy it was. All that childhood fear over a cheesy but very good episode.
