The flattened, or diminished, fifth lies exactly halfway along the chromatic scale and inverts to itself, ie it is the same distance from either root. Spooky. When root and flattened fifth are played together, the sound isn't altogether pleasant therefore long ago the flattened fifth was referred to as 'Diabolous in musica' or the Devil in music!

However it still turns up quite a lot in music, especially dominant sevenths.
So despite it's unpleasantness we just can't resist it's devilish power.
Feel free to draw your own parallels.
