I think it's partly because of incorrect knowledge and misinterpretation of the knowledge that they have. The demons you mentioned sounded very interesting. Could you suggest any articles etc for further reading?
There is an interesting article from the Met Museum to get started. I read an article a long time ago about amulets people wore (another popular fiction theme) but I can't remember where I saw it. I hope this is useful! Also, you have made a good point. Thanks for your insight!
That was interesting. The name "pazuzu" sounded familier to me, probably because of the movie.
