* CompleteMonster: Sweet grandma Lois is revealed as the worst the film series has to offer in the third entry in the series. All of the horror stemming from the demon plaguing the family can be traced back to her. It is revealed Lois is a witch and the head of a coven that bargained with the invisible demon, in return for personal gain, to surrender the first male member of the family to the demon. To that end, Lois allows her daughter, her daughter's boyfriend and two young daughters into her home along with the demon. Lois orchestrates the death of her own daughter and watches her boyfriend's brutal death when the man tries to rescue the little girls. The film ends with Lois about to conduct a ceremony with the little girls and the demon, fully aware that eventually her great-grandson will be taken by the demon and her granddaughters' lives ruined or ended all out of personal greed.
