Conjuring Darkness by Melanie James5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() The Conjuring and its sequel (and spinoff ) are not the first films to feature a story based on the Warrens’ accounts. But these two were (and, in Lorrain’s case, still are) real and have been connected to nearly every major episode of haunting in the last few decades of the 20th century. ![]() ![]() This couple is like something out of a movie themselves: the husband a self-taught demonologist and the only non-clergy member of this study to be recognized by the Vatican, while his wife is a self-identified clairvoyant and medium. Not only will you have people immediately taking to Google to hunt for the truth, but you’ll have several articles just like this one littering the Internet.īut few cases of purported “true stories” capture the American psyche quite as much as those involving Ed and Lorraine Warren. But that’s the point of using that sentence: it gets you attention. Even Nightmare on Elm Street could claim this little tagline thanks to Wes Craven’s influence from Cambodian refugees suffering from appalling nightmares and a creepy old man who once spooked him from the street outside his bedroom. After all, even the recent release The Darkness used the same ploy for their film, which was loosely inspired by stories and legends from people visiting the Grand Canyon. Few things will get peoples’ attention like a “based on a true story” disclaimer in front of a horror movie trailer. ![]()
