Louis Cypher: Difference between revisions

* The trope title is from a misspelling of the name Louis Cyphre from the movie ''[[Angel Heart]]''.

** [[Lampshaded]] by Harry.

** With another [[Lampshade]] piled on by Louis.

* John Milton (Al Pacino's character) from ''[[The Devil's Advocate]]''. Milton, ''[[Paradise Lost]]'', get it?

* Some of the creepiest characters created by [[David Lynch]] are heavily implied to be this. This includes [[Lost Highway|the Mystery Man]], [[Twin Peaks|BOB]], [[Your Mileage May Vary|possibly]] [[Mulholland Drive|Mr. Roque and the Cowboy]].

* ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'' episode "The Devil to Pay". The Ghostbusters appear on a game show called "Race the Devil", hosted by one "Dib Devlin". The question that lands them a spot on the quiz is "give me two additional names for the Devil"... For some reason, Egon gets a bit suspicious.

** The appearance of Satan himself on a kid's show is unconvincingly averted by this bit of writer wit:

'''Ray''': Actually, Winston, Dib is a minor demon, not the Devil per se.<br />

'''Winston''': I have sold my soul to a minor demon. I have sold my soul to a minor demon. }}
