Description: Bronze statuette of Pazuzu, circa 8th century BC, Louvre. Pazuzu is the demon of the southwest wind known for bringing famine during dry seasons, and locusts during rainy seasons. Pazuzu was invoked in apotropaic amulets, which combat the powers of his rival, the malicious goddess Lamashtu, who was believed to cause harm to mother and child during childbirth. Although Pazuzu is, himself, considered to be an evil spirit, he drives and frightens away other evil spirits, therefore protecting humans against plagues and misfortunes. In the 1971 novel The Exorcist and the film based on the novel, Pazuzu is supposedly the evil spirit that possesses the young girl Regan MacNeil. William S. Burroughs invokes Pazuzu in a dedication of a novel.
Description: Released in 1981, the classic American paranormal thriller Evil Dead follows a group of five friends on a getaway to an isolated forest cabin. During their stay, they accidentally unleash demonic entities capable of taking over human bodies. This terrifying chaos is triggered when they interact with the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, a dark, ancient Sumerian book that brings absolute destruction to the entire group.
