An asphyx could be a sort of psychopomp; a Slavic version was called an 'upir', which is considered a linguistic predecessor of 'vampir'β€”I can't help but wonder if there's a version of the upir legend in which the psychopomp, having escorted the old soul out, gets tempted to possess the corpse….

I'm still thinking about a plot point in tonight's movie, "release the guillotine blade BUT THEN stop it just before it cuts her head off, BUT not too soon because she has to really be afraid for her life"
