Biography[]
About halfway through the movie, Charlie has a nightmare in which he is condemned to Hell after he was accused by Anne-Marie for stealing the wallet from the couple from the horse track.
While entering Hell, Charlie gets zapped by lightning and tries to run away, but a cyclone appears and pulls Charlie back and was sucked into the hole to Hell below. Charlie then lands on a skeletal boat and a skeletal dog demon spooks him. The Hellhound makes his entrance and (in the uncut scene, he flies down to Charlie, claiming him to be his, and laughs evilly after a lava face appears in front of Charlie) Charlie is then attacked by the Hellhound and several vicious imps (slaves of the Devil) before waking up from his nightmare, by Flo’s puppies.
The Hellhound returns toward the end of the film, to take Charlie's soul to Hell for judgement but is defeated when Annabelle, the angelic pink whippet, appears in a glowing blue orb of mystical energy, past through the beast who dissolves into nothingness upon contact as she arrives to take Charlie to Heaven instead as he has done a heroic act for once in his life when he sacrificed his life to rescue Anne-Marie from Carface.
