“	I went into Dalton's room...there was something in there with him. It was standing there in the corner. I asked it "Who are you?" and it said it was a visitor. I said "What do you want?". It said "Dalton". I can still hear that voice.	„
	~ Lorraine on the Demon, when she saw him for the first time.

“	I'm not afraid of the dark anymore.	„

It was portrayed by the film's musician and composer Joseph Bishara, who also played Bathsheba Sherman in The Conjuring.

Biography

Insidious (2010)

“	Elise; There are other entities who are malevolent and have a more insidious agenda. And then, there's this. A demon who seeks Dalton's body for one reason: to 'cause pain to others. He is so desperate to possess Dalton, and he's the closest of all the entities to getting inside of him. Renai; What do you mean the closest? Elise; Because these entities, they can't just walk into the bodies of the living anytime they please. But the longer that Dalton's astral body is kept away from his physical body, the weaker the link gets. The easier it is to possess him.	„
	~ Elise Rainier revealing the demon's intentions in the first film

In the film Insidious, the Demon targets Dalton Lambert, a child that has the supernatural ability to astral project, because of his innocence and his spiritual energy. He lures him to the Further and manages to capture him (shown by Dalton drawing pictures of the Demon and the Red Door that leads to his lair) and chain him to the floor, where Dalton was presumably tortured and harmed.

When Josh enters the Further, he makes his way into the Demon's Lair and reunites with Dalton before unchaining him from the floor, but he is caught by the Demon, who is in the opposite room sharpening his claws, and attacks the two. Dalton and Josh run for their lives out of the Lair while the Demon pursues them. Dalton hides in his parents bedroom but the Demon's clawed hand reaches out from under the bed and grabs Dalton. Dalton runs from the room, being chased by the Demon, but manages to escape.

Insidious: Chapter 2

The Red-faced Demon (possibly) makes a cameo appearance in the end of Insidious: Chapter 2. It shows that he took control of a girl named Allison and scaring Elise as his crackling shadow was shown behind Allison's chair.

Insidious: Chapter 3

He appears at the end of the prequel Insidious: Chapter 3, also in a cameo appearance, when Elise returns home and prepares for bed. She finds her husband's sweater folded on the bed and smiles until her dog begins barking in the darkness. As she looks at the place where her dog is barking, the Demon pops out behind her.

Insidious: The Red Door

In Insidious: The Red Door, the Lipstick Face Demon haunts Dalton Lambert once again after nine years. He is first seen when Dalton is painting the red door at his art school, only for Lipstick Face Demon's hand to briefly grab Dalton's hand for a moment and causing a big gash wound in Dalton's hand. Later, as Dalton astral projects into the Further, Lipstick Face Demon strangles Dalton's roommate, Chris, nearly killing her if it wasn't for Dalton who came to save her.

Eventually, Lipstick Face Demon lures Dalton into his lair, where he is seen shredding off his old skin. After undergoing it's transformation, the Lipstick Face Demon traps Dalton's spirit in his lair, and succeeds in possessing Dalton, and intends on going on a rampage, first starting by attacking and attempting to strangle Chris to death with a rope. However, Josh, by freeing Dalton from his chains, draws the Demon back into the Further. Slamming the door to the Demon's lair shut, Josh tries to keep the door closed, while Dalton returns to the real world to paint his painting of the door black, causing the door in the Further to turn black as well, sealing the door and trapping Lipstick Face Demon for good, presumably cutting off his ties with the rest of the Further and the physical world.

Personality

Though the Demon never speaks in the film, it is capable of speaking, as Lorraine mentions that in a dream she spoke to it and it responded to her in words. When asked who it was, it responded that it was a visitor. When asked what it wants, it responded that it wanted Dalton. Lorraine claimed she could still hear its voice, implying that the Demon has a chilling voice. The Demon keeps Dalton close by in his home in the Further, which seems to be a theater-like chamber that has marionettes which it likes to play with. It also seems to enjoy sharpening its nails and would hurt Dalton whenever he makes noise.

The Demon is a malevolent, ruthless and cruel individual who never gives up on his goal to take a child's soul; however, he failed to take Dalton when he finds his body in the real world, though the Demon eventually moves on to a new victim. During Dalton's imprisonment in the Demon's Lair, Dalton was chained to the floor, left alone, adding that the Demon can be both physically and mentally abusive to children.

One of the Demon's most interesting quirks is his odd love of Tiny Tim's "Tip-Toe Through the Tulips", and other songs made by the same artist, such as "Fill Your Heart". In the first movie, he is seen listening to it while sharpening his nails. A boy from the Further is also seen dancing to the same song earlier in the film. It is unclear what the significance of the song is to the residents the Further, but it could be used to represent him taking control over certain things, such as the Lambert's record player.

Appearance

“	The face... Blood red face. Black... Black arms. Black legs. Black body. His feet are black. His legs are black. And pitch black eyes. They're like two dark holes. He has hooves for feet. And long spidery fingernails.	„
	~ Elise Rainier describing the appearance of the demon

The Lipstick-Face Demon is a tall, muscular being with black skin, coarse fur on his legs, dark cloven hooves and a devilish tail. His face is black with large tints of red because it paints red all over his face. The Demon has long, spidery claws at the end of his fingers and has large, demonic yellow-gold eyes with black pupils. He is easily distinguished by his red-painted face and a crackling sound that occurs upon his presence.

Trivia

• The demon is the only entity not to die in the series.
• He appears in all five films.
• His first and most recurring nickname is Sixtass.
• In the first movie, there is a scene in the Further depicting a family being shot by one of their daughters. It's possible that said daughter could've been under the control of the Lipstick Face Demon, as both her and Dalton attempt to go on a murder spree on those close to them, and both are secluded in an isolated spot before doing so. There is also a picture of what can be assumed as the same daughter in his lair.
