In-canon history:
According to modern religous lore, Bagul was a Pagan deity who was worshipped by many to save their children from his monstrous appetite for innocent children's souls. According to historians, early Christians believed that images of Bagul were gateways to his domain. Children exposed to images of Bagul were more susceptible to Bagul's kidnappings. His presence is signaled by an ancient Pagan symbol representing his evil. Bagul currently resides in a suburban house, because that is where his images are kept, stored away in an attic. He resides in old 16mm home movies, which focus on the families he's killed in the house, which date back to the late 60's. They begin as heart-warming home films, with hidden images of Bagul in the background, then they cut to the brutal and uniquely gruesome murders of the families. Bagul usually uses his power to possess a young girl in the family, he also uses the souls that he's devoured as evil minions. You cannot destroy him. Bagul will live on forever, continuing to terrorize and devour families forever...
Real life:
I don't know about you, but I'm excited for Sinister, the nw supernatural horror film from producer Oren Peli (producer of Insidious and director of Paranormal Acitivty) and director Scott Derrickson (director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose and the writer of the unproduced remakes of The Birds and Poltergeist). I think it will be some good Halloween fun, and it will go hand-in-hand with Frankenweenie (one's an adult horror film, the other a fun children's animated film). I hope it comes out good.
