* [[spoiler:The fact that Paimon is only ''one'' of the eight Kings of Hell. Since he is very much real, this in turn, heavily implies the other Kings are as well. So who's to say that there aren't, have or will be other cults dedicated to ''their'' summoning.]]

*** Paimon is male and prefers a male host, but the movie shows it's very much a ''woman's'' body that offends him. As Charlie, Paimon is awkward and weird, but her behavior is very gender-neutral and she seems displeased, but not uncomfortable, with her body. It's not until Paimon is summoned into ''Annie'', an adult woman who's given birth twice, that he becomes enraged and dangerous.

* When Annie sees Joan in the craft store the audience is left to wonder what Joan is actually buying there. If they paid attention to Joan’s trunk they would’ve seen that she had just purchased a chalk board. The same one she uses at her seance. A subtle clue that she’s lying about having a son.

** "Tricked" doesn't seem to be the issue, Paimon's been having to put up with being in a female body because a male one wasn't available at the time. It also seems a bit of a stretch for a demon to go 13 years in a girl's body without noticing she has no penis.

*** Some material suggests that the cake itself didn't have nuts, but the knife used to cut the cake had previously been used on nuts; Charlie's slice was basically contaminated by accident.

* The ending of the film from Peter's uninformed perspective is extra horrific considering the plot developments he wasn't witness to. He discovers his father's burned corpse, a death engineered by Paimon that perfectly implicates Annie as having finally snapped and gone through with an immolation murder like she almost did before. Then Annie wordlessly rushes at him and pounds on the attic door. Peter still thinks he's talking to his mom and so he regresses and weeps and begs forgiveness to try and placate Annie after all the guilt and tension they shared. Broken enough by this, Peter is then shown evidence of the cult and hit with the mind-shattering revelation that Annie is possessed, as she levitates and her body is forced to slowly, then quickly, slice her head off. At that point, a glimpse of more cultists confirms everything Peter needs to know and he is completely broken open for Paimon to take over.

* Charlie is thirteen when she dies, right around the average age for a girl to start puberty, menstruating specifically. That may explain why the cult waited so long to enact their plans - they've been able to placate Paimon with an androgynous child with a gender neutral name who wears baggy clothes to hide a feminine figure. When Charlie hit puberty and Paimon realized he'd been tricked, the cult had to turn its attentions back to Peter.
