After a night at the movies to see her favorite film, Kill It Before It Dies, Phoebe Halliwell was followed home by the Demon of Illusion. He attacked her, but ran when Prue attacked him. The sisters followed him to the theatre and Phoebe cast an improvised spell to banish him, which seemed to work. However, this was merely an illusion as the demon entered the movie. About a year later, Cole Turner used a similar trick to appear before Phoebe in her favorite movie, Kill It Before It Dies.
