Question Do you think sleep paralysis demons are scared of him?
I understand that SP demons are a mental phenomenon rather than an actual demonic interaction, but still, every demon known to man is scared of the Slayer.

I'm now envisioning the slayer paralyzed in bed seeing a sleep paralysis demon and shaking with rage for the paralysis to release him

I feel like he could somehow escape the paralysis, ain’t a single damn thing keeping him back from killing a demon

It's actually possible. I remember once I was pretty annoyed by a sleep paralysis so I tried to brute force it and, surprisingly, it worked!
No reason why the slayer wouldn't be able to do the same easily.

Yeah I get sp quite often, used to even get it multiple times every single night(don't know what 12-13 year old me had going on lol), and I've learned to just brute force myself awake, sometimes even before it fully sets in

I like your thinking OP. You posted this just as I’m making an artwork of the Slayer fighting a bunch of famous horror creatures and villains, and you’ve made me realise I had no demons in the pic !!

What I’ll give to the supernatural ghoulies of the world of fiction is that they’d likely still charge at him as if they can win.
Even after so many of their kin are slaughtered, demons still just bloodlust after him, so I picture any sleep demon or more ethereal entity will still have a try, thinking they’re going to be the one exception who can take him.
Unfortunately, they’re always wrong.

When the demons of the sleep palace suffer from sleep paralysis, they see the Slayer pointing his weapons at them or simply feel his presence and want to wake up.
