HEREDITARY: LITERALLY THE ENTIRE KING PAIMON STORY | HORROR HISTORY

A SECRET LIES BEHIND EVERY FAMILY TREE. The demonic adversary King Paimon is what drives all of the horrifying incidents in Hereditary. Even though Paimon serves as the story's primary antagonist, not many fans are familiar with him. His earliest references can be found in the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum spellbook from 1577.

I'll be reviewing everything we know about King Paimon in this video, including his ancient past, the conditions for summoning him, his revival as a result of Ellen Leigh and her family, his extraordinary powers, and how his influence permeates everything in Hereditary. King Paimon is based on lore seen in Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and The Lesser Key of Solomon.

I'll contrast and compare the mythology of Paimon in "real life" with the malicious force seen in Hereditary, and along the way, I'll reveal all of the film's secrets.
