Following the commercial success of Demons, Argento and his collaborators began work on a sequel titled Demons 2 which was released on October 9, 1986 in Italy. Bava spoke of a second sequel as early as January 22, 1988 with Argento stating it would be called Ritorno alla casa dei demoni (transl. Return to the House of the Demons) The project for the third film later changed hands to eventually become The Church directed by Michele Soavi. Bava's television film The Ogre was released outside of Italy as Demons III: The Ogre.
From my research I know Demoni (1985), Demons 2 (1986) and Demons 4: The Church (1989) are the official set of Argento's Demoni movies. But connection-wise the set for ScreenHead is as depicted. All the other films in this set are what I consider 'loosely connected' but the connections can be traced online from databases and webpages. The order of the connections was not a priority.

Lenzi intended Demoni 3 to be called Black Demons, and he did not like it when the film was later retitled Demoni 3 on video, because some people thought it was part of Lamberto Bava's Demons series, which it had absolutely nothing to do with.
Included in this set because of title only.
