It's yours, Andy! I'll give you anything you want. You only have to do one thing- Feed me!
~ The Basement Demon's most famous quote.

The Basement Demon is the unnamed antagonist of The Tale of the Dark Music, from the children's horror series Are You Afraid of the Dark? Although lacking an official name the entity was heavily implied to be a demonic force (perhaps even the Devil itself) and resided within a small room inside the basement of an old house formerly inhabited by a wealthy man.

After the man dies, his nephew, a boy named Andy (the child protagonist) inherits the house and moves in with his family. One one of the first days in the residence, he encounters the Basement Demon - which is summoned every time he plays music and takes a unique and frightening appearance each time it manifests: becoming a shadowy creature with glowing red eyes, a human-sized doll and a skeletal carnival barker as well as a field of light ranging from blue to red.

Although originally terrified of the monster, Andy eventually decides to use the Basement Demon to exact revenge on his next-door neighbor Koda, a teenage neighborhood bully who continuously harassed him ever since he moved in. However. Andy's revenge goes too far and Koda is sucked into the Basement Demon's dimension and is probably devoured by it, although his fate is unknown.

When Andy came down to his basement, he finds a new bike (his previous one having been wrecked by Koda) and the Basement Demon informs him it will grant his every desire if he feeds it, just like it did with Andy's uncle. The story ends with Andy grinning as he hears his annoying little sister calling him to make her dinner while his new "ally" laughs evilly.
