It's Puzuzu, I think. He was a demon of pestilence and...get this... helping women in childbirth. He protected the newborn from some other demon that would suck it's blood. The ancient people's of the Tigris Euphrates area made offerings to him to not only protect their children, but also implore his mercy from pestilence and famine.
That being said, I'm an occultist. From my stand point, this movie was chilling. Mikey, I'm Wiccan, and this movie gave me the creeps. The book, however kept me up o'nights.
