The terror dog that possessed Louis was a bit goofy ;)


When Louis was possessed by Vinz he seemed really goofy, more than usual, lol! Interesting that when Zuul possessed Dana she behaved like a nympho but the other one was goofy?

Dana was a person who seemed to want to be in control, and so was Zuul.

Louis, as Louis and Vince Clortho, was constantly seeking to please ("Yes, have some.") His task was to obey the Gatekeeper and mate with her.

Maybe it depends on who they host.
Louis was a bit dippy anyway, while Dana was quite a strong personality.

I love this movie, but I never understood why Vinz Clortho essentially has the exact same personality as Louis upon possessing him. He just acts like a clumsy and awkward dork, just like Louis. Wouldn’t it have made more sense (and been cooler) if he acted more serious, demonic, and badass?
