**Cheryl** is a character from the film *Demons*.

## Biography

A college student in Berlin, Cheryl was first seen in a subway station where she was approached by the masked Man in Black. He gave her a ticket to a free screening of a film at the Metropol, a recently-reopened cinema. She asked him for a second ticket for her friend Kathy. Silently, the man gave her a second ticket and walked away.

Outside the station, Cheryl apologized to Kathy for being late and showed her the free tickets. She convinced Kathy to skip class and see the free screening. Kathy reluctantly agreed, and the two made their way to the Metropol.

At the theater, Cheryl and Kathy attempted to get a soda from the vending machine, but were unable to get the machine to work. George and his friend Ken helped Kathy get her soda, and later sat next to the two girls. George was clearly attracted to Cheryl, and offered to hold her hand if the movie got too frightening for her.

During the movie, another attendee, Carmen, burst out from behind the screen after having been attacked by her demon-possessed friend Rosemary. Cheryl consoled Kathy, apologizing for bringing them to the movie. Soon, Carmen transformed into a demon and attacked the movie-goers. Cheryl, Kathy, and the rest of the survivors attempted to flee the Metropol building, but found themselves mysteriously trapped. Rosemary's friend Tony noted that Rosemary had scratched her face on the mask seen in the horror film they had watched, and deduced that, like in the movie, Rosemary had become a demon. Cheryl joined the others as they followed Tony to the projection room, and briefly saw the Man in Black's masked face in a reflection.

The survivors returned to the auditorium to find the eyeless Werner who stated that it wasn't the movie but rather the theater that is killing them. Throughout the night, Cheryl and Kathy stayed close to George and Ken, creating a barricade in the auditorium to prevent any other demons from entering. At one point, Cheryl began to panic after they broke through the wall of the auditorium only to find themselves trapped in a brick room. George quickly told Cheryl to calm down, as she wasn't helping the situation.

After the survivors heard gunfire from outside of the auditorium, they believed themselves to be safe and broke down the barricades. George yelled for them to stop, but it was too late as demons started attacking the survivors. Cheryl joined Kathy, George, and Ken as they crawled to safety. The four remaining survivors found an air conditioning shaft where they planned to hide, but Kathy soon succumbed to possession. Despite Cheryl's pleas, Ken struck down Kathy, whose body soon burst open with a demon baby.

Kathy's demonic baby slashed Ken and ran off. Cheryl watched as Ken begged George to kill him with a sword they found before he turned into a demon. At the last minute, as Ken had turned, George used the sword to decapitate his friend while Cheryl looked away.

Cheryl and George used a motorcycle that was on display to ride around the auditorium, killing any demons they found. Soon, a helicopter fell through the ceiling, allowing George and Cheryl to escape through the roof. There, the pair found the masked man who had given Cheryl the movie tickets. Before the masked villain was able to kill George, Cheryl impaled him in the back, killing him.

After leaving the Metropol's rooftop, Cheryl and George found the city overrun with demons. They came across a man driving a jeep with his kids June and Kirk. Cheryl and George got into the jeep and drove off to safety. While on the jeep, Cheryl felt a wound on the back of her neck and suddenly transformed into a demon. Kirk quickly shot Cheryl to death, her body falling out of the jeep.
