That is ridiculous abrahamic superstition. More spiritual traditions that you can count (aka all non-abrahamic paths) tell a different story about Demons. First of all, Demons are actually Pagan Gods, so they don't look like beast-like humanoid, nor are they evil. This is supported twice:

• the Ancient Greek word "Daimon" from which the word "Demon" comes from, which indicate a wise being, a powerful spiritual being and so on;

• an excerpt from the Catholic Encyclopedia: "In the same way the Greeks and Romans may have worshipped their divinities, fondly believing them to be good. But the Christian Scriptures declare that all the gods of the Gentiles are demons." (Catholic Encyclopedia: Devil Worship) http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04767a.htm

WIngs are common trait of divine beings (and not only) and are an allegory to. the freedom and power of the soul. Certain traditions even show wings for humans.

The halo too is a symbol that predates abrahamic religions too. It has depicted on Vedic Deities for millennia.That's where christianity took inspiration when they chose to give halos to "angels". Halos in the Vedic tradition are also symbolic of a risen kundalini. The kundalini is represented by serpent of sexual/creative energy that rests coiled twice and a half around the tailbone (or, allegorically, the roots of a tree), until it is awakened and risen to the top of the head. It really makes you think about the true meaning around the Genesis book... Buddhism depicts Buddha with halos too and it predates christianity and representations of "angels" by centuries.
