Taurus is a character from the 1970 horror film Equinox.
History[]
A terrible demon born from the powers of Asmodeus, Taurus was unleashed on the group of youths to retrieve the dark book that contained the devil’s ancient spells and incantations. The ape-like beast killed the older man who gave the teens the book and then focused its rage on them, trapping them in a narrow crevice. The two men began hurling rocks at the thing, distracting it from the terrified females. Its distraction didn’t last for long, however. Grabbing a branch, it began to use it as a rake to pull the book toward it. Just as it clutched the ancient artifact with its hands, David leaped into the air and thrust a crudely made spear into its chest! The beast dropped the book and tried to overcome the pain, but it was futile. With blood spewing from its wound and nose, Taurus fell to its death, its immense body then vanishing.
