When you connect similar films and stories, devils are manipulative. After Gary takes a big risk, he meets the Devil and all he can say is, "I come with bad news." Your mother is dead” (55). He manipulates Gary into believing that his mother has died suddenly, but he does not give in to the Devil's control. This petrifying horror story can be linked to the movie “Annabelle Creation”. After a recent death in the family, the mother must make a decision when her daughter wants to come back to life in the form of the doll: Annabelle. She quickly believes that it is not her daughter; it is a demonic presence that manipulates the mother into giving her soul to the devil. The evil presence in the film and in the story is a trickster who manipulates them into believing that the devil is truthful. Additionally, the man in the black suit says, “It was your mother who passed on a fatal weakness to your brother Dan; you had some of that, but you also had your father's protection, which poor Dan somehow missed” (57).
