Ghost hunters will find more than they bargained for on Halloween in upcoming genre-bender The Unearthly. Per Deadline, the indie sci-fi horror comedy has found its lead in star and producer Patrick Warburton.
Josh Sternfeld (Fortress: Sniper’s Eye) is set to direct The Unearthly for Centerboro Productions, with production scheduled to begin early this year in Connecticut.
In The Unearthly, “a team of paranormal investigators live-stream a ‘Halloween Special’ ghost hunt of a notorious haunted mansion, finding the source of the evil at hand to be far more deadly than they ever could have imagined. Warburton plays Tank McCrary, an old school paranormal investigator in the style of Ed Warren and Peter James, who hosted over 20 live television specials in the ’90s before an incident ruined his career. Stubborn and egotistical, he likes to do things his way. He doesn’t trust technology, relying on his analog tape recorder,...

Some pretty famous actor/director pairings have defined a sizable portion of classic cinema over the years. Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro; the Coen brothers and Frances McDormand; Guillermo del Toro and Doug Jones. It's a legendary list and one that should most certainly include James Wan and Patrick Wilson. Dating back to 2010's smash hit "Insidious," the duo have worked together on six of Wan's directorial efforts (and many more that he's produced). That sixth collaboration came in "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," which is just now making its way to theaters after several long delays.
But why is it that Wan continues to cast Wilson in his films? In fairness, this is a sequel and Wilson's Orm is a big part of the story. Even so, the two clearly want to keep working with one another. /Film's own Jacob Hall recently spoke with Wan in anticipation...

Netflix originals have always been the biggest draw for the streaming juggernaut, and their true crime documentary offerings have been so popular that they've been spoofed by both "Black Mirror," and the brilliant satirical mockumentary series "American Vandal." Released just in time for the Halloween season, the latest documentary, "The Devil on Trial," has been dominating the top 10 charts across the globe. The film is the latest from Peabody Award-winning and three-time BAFTA-nominated British writer, director, and producer, Chris Holt, and tackles the first and only time demonic possession was used as a defense in an American murder trial. Taking place in 1981, the trial made headlines as the "Devil Made Me Do It" case, as 19-year-old Arne Cheyenne Johnson claimed that he was not guilty in the murder of his landlord, Alan Bono, because he was possessed at the time of the killing.

New Line’s The Nun II, one of the few bright spots at the fall box office rocked by the actors strikes, will hit Max on Oct. 27. That premiere date is after the pic’s 50-day theatrical window.
The Michael Chaves directed sequel in the Conjuring universe opened to $32.6M and through yesterday counts $84.4M at the domestic box office and over $258M worldwide. The movie ruled the top of the box office for three weekends in a row and returned Warner Bros to the post-Labor Day horror launchpad they first made rich with the 2017 feature take of Stephen King’s It.
The movie follows young Sister Irene’s (Taissa Farmiga) crusade against a sinister, evil Mother Superior spirit, aka Valak, who takes over the souls of people around her. Set in 1956 France, the pic picks up after The Nun when Maurice (Jonas Bloquet) becomes possessed.

Spanning nine films in total, “The Conjuring” franchise, including “The Nun II,” is as vast as it is complex.
The story that kicked off with supernatural investigating couple Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) and Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) has since expanded into a series of “Conjuring” movies and spinoffs, all set at different points in a timeline that begins all the way back in the 1300s. The events in the three proper “Conjuring” films actually do occur in the order they were released, but the spinoffs and prequels, including “The Nun” and the “Annabelle” films, make the timeline much more complicated.
Here’s how to watch all the “Conjuring” movies in chronological order, all the way back to the Dark Ages.
The Nun (2018): 1300s, 1952, 1971 The Nun (Warner Bros.)

It took nearly 20 years to make "The Conjuring," a "based on a true story" film about the supposed hauntings of the Perron family in Harrisville, Rhode Island. For over 14 years, producer Tony DeRosa-Grund went from studio to studio trying to make the film happen, but it wasn't until writers Chad and Carey W. Hayes updated the script and shifted the perspective from the Perron family to paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren that there was movement on the picture. The duo interviewed Lorraine Warren to ensure authenticity, and the new script sparked a massive bidding war. The Hayes brothers had cracked the code — the secret of what would become a massive franchise lay with the Warrens.

This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the movie being reviewed here wouldn't exist.
Against all odds, director James Wan's "The Conjuring" movies somehow managed to hit that horror sweet spot. It takes a deceptive amount of skill to find that special balance between brutal, nightmare-inducing scares and a refreshingly uncynical worldview -- one that never took characters we actually came to love and subjected them to abject cruelty. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson's performances as expert demonologists Lorraine and Ed Warren went a long way towards grounding such supernatural antics in genuine earnestness, and their absence immediately put 2018's "The Nun" at a creative disadvantage. Detailing the origins of the sinister demon Valak (Bonnie Aarons), the spin-off/prequel film was savaged by critics (it's mostly better than you remember!) despite delivering a...

Cinematic universes are all the rage now but it's easy to forget how recent a phenomenon this actually is. The notion of a cinematic universe didn't really exist until around 2010 when it became clear what Marvel Studios was doing with its various superhero franchises in the lead-up to the record-breaking "The Avengers" in the summer of 2012. Sure, we had Kevin Smith's films making up the View Askewniverse starting with "Clerks" in 1994 -- not to mention Universal's monster movie crossovers from decades earlier. Still, once Marvel perfected the model, Hollywood chased it down rabidly. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it fails spectacularly. But arguably nobody has done it better this side of Marvel than James Wan and "The Conjuring" universe.

In celebration of the release of the fifth chapter in the franchise, Insidious: The Red Door, franchise star Patrick Wilson stops by Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast to discuss not only his journey in the role of Josh Lambert but on his transition into the Director’s chair as well.
The Insidious series has been a terrifying adventure exploring various central characters and timelines since the original film arrived in theaters 13 years ago. This latest tale picks up right after the events of 2013’s Chapter 2. Patrick had this to say when asked if he had any concept of where the Lambert’s story could go moving forward.

Previously, the documentary Amityville: An Origin Story featured a strong emphasis on the paranormal investigations taking place within the haunted mansion. In certain ways, the psychics who performed a planchette or whatever within the home felt the presence of an evil spirit there. Following their active participation in the paranormal investigation of the Amityville mansion, Lorraine and Ed Warren gained a lot of attention. Ronnie’s defense attorney, William Weber, was also mentioned, as was his plan to profit off the Amityville horror story. Not only Weber, but nearly everyone engaged in the case, was chasing money. The Lutzes were attempting to advertise their book, “The Amityville Horror True Story,” but it was filled with fabrication rather than what had really happened in that house.

"Insidious: The Red Door," the fifth film in the "Insidious" series, will mark the directorial debut of actor Patrick Wilson. Many horror fans got to know Wilson not only as the star of the first two "Insidious" movies, but also as the affable ghost-hunter Ed Warren in several features set in the "Conjuring" universe. Wilson is horror's dad. He's also a long-working, talented actor who has appeared in any number of intense indie pieces, thrillers, superhero blockbusters, and Oscar-bait dramas. He has been nominated for two Tony awards (for "The Full Monty" and for "Oklahoma!") and an Emmy (for "Angels in America"), and is never anything less than a dynamic, serviceable screen presence.
In the "Insidious" movies, Wilson plays Josh Lambert, the father of a 10-year-old named Dalton (Ty Simpkins) who possesses astral projection powers. Dalton has unwittingly attracted demons and ghosts out of an eerie purgatorial realm called The...

"The Conjuring" franchise has easily given us some of the best horror movies of the last decade — and Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson's terrific on-screen chemistry as the badass demon-hunting couple Ed and Lorraine Warren makes it all the more special. With effective jumpscares, a genuinely moving ghost story, and romance as its secret ingredient, James Wan's "The Conjuring" works as a film that features both a horror tale and a love story.
The sequel has one of the greatest love scenes we've ever seen in a horror movie — and it's a scene that moved James Wan enough to return to the helm for the film.
Ed Warren's Musical Genius
James Wan is the mind behind several horror franchises, including "Saw," but "The Conjuring" features his most extraordinary love story yet. Wan tells this tale utilizing a highly-fictionalized version of real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.

If you look at James Wan's career since the beginning, it's impressive how far he has come in a relatively short time. A horror maestro, most now know the director for his work on "The Conjuring" universe. The frightful film franchise started out focusing on the paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren, before expanding to cover all the supernatural entities that have been directly or indirectly involved in the Warrens' lives.
If they didn't know Wan from his work on that IP, most audiences today may associate him now with the balls-to-the-wall horror film "Malignant." The movie with a shocking twist ruled the internet for months after its release last year, producing memes focusing on the villainous Gabriel. A horror film that was fun and didn't take itself seriously was just what horror audiences needed, and Wan and his wife, Ingrid Bisu, delivered.

Vice’s “The 3:07 Am Project” gave four emerging horror filmmakers a chance to play around in ‘The Conjuring’ universe with minute-long morsels of murder.
The Conjuring has proven itself to be a worthy cinematic universe, delivering two proper sequels and a slew of spin-offs, with more creepy content on the way to further expand the multi-billion dollar horror franchise. The reception towards Ed and Lorraine Warren’s cinematic antics has somewhat cooled down in recent years and left audiences wondering if what’s currently on slate for The Conjuring universe will be its last hurrah or if “The Nun 3” or “Crooked Man Vs. Annabelle” are inevitable.
There are lofty expectations in place when it comes to The Conjuring IP, but there were also surprisingly ambitious plans in place even during the production of the original movie. A connected Conjuring universe may not have been on anyone’s radar yet.

In 2013, James Wan introduced the world to The Conjuring, which followed real-life paranormal investigators and demonologists Lorraine (who actually has a cameo as the consultant) and Ed Warren in the 1970s as they investigate supernatural activities. The first Conjuring focused on The Perrons and their five daughters, who have discovered a possible supernatural presence that has invaded their new secluded farmhouse. Instantly, the film was met with praise from both audiences and critics alike and garnered a staggering $319. 5 million worldwide based on a reported production budget of $39 million. Of course, the success of the first film

Update: With no major new releases, this was a strong holdover weekend at the international box office, led by last week’s champ, New Line/Warner Bros’ The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, followed by Disney’s Cruella and Paramount’s A Quiet Place Part II.
In the case of Conjuring 3, it crossed $100M global after adding another $23.4M in 51 markets for a good 44% drop this session. That brings the offshore running total to $68M and the worldwide cume to $111.8M. There are 18 markets still to release including Germany, Japan and Taiwan.
France was the biggest new market, and the biggest play for the film this weekend, with $5M at No. 1 and a 66% share of the Top 5 films. This is on par with the opening of Conjuring 2 and above all other films in the Conjuring Universe (excluding previews).

This article contains The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It spoilers.
Though the latest Conjuring movie, The Devil Made Me Do It, is named after the Arne Johnson murder case, whereby a young man claimed the crime he committed was caused by demonic possession, there’s an entirely new subplot that carries the body of the new film.
After the supposedly possessed Arne Johnson is held in custody awaiting trial for the murder of his girlfriend’s landlord, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) are on a mission to discover how and why these possessions took place. While the Johnson case is based on real events, the reasons behind the possession, as posed within The Devil Made Me Do It, are completely fictional.

Today is the day! The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is officially in theaters and is also available on HBO Max as well, and to get you ready for the latest adventures featuring Lorraine and Ed Warren, we have some press conference highlights on tap to get you primed for the sequel. During the recent press conference, we heard from director Michael Chaves, Conjuring creator/producer James Wan, producer Peter Safran, and Conjuring co-stars Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, who discussed everything from picking this story in particular to focus on in The Devil Made Me Do It, how the relationship of the Warrens is the cornerstone of The Conjuring franchise, and more.
Why was this, of all the case files, the story that had to be told in this Conjuring film?
Michael Chaves: I guess I'll jump in with that. I think it was something from the very beginning,...

As with the previous Conjuring movies, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is based around a case investigated by real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. While the extended Conjuring universe, which includes the Annabelle movies, The Nun and The Curse of La Llorona, is pure fiction, the main Conjuring films stick with the ‘based on real events’ hook – but how much of the latest movie is actually based on the facts and how much is artistic license?
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is slightly different to the first two Conjuring films in that the key events in the case happen at the very start of the movie, with the main bulk of the film concerning a background investigation that isn’t based on the real case. The real case is therefore the anchor and the bookends.

I was just a student when I first learned about Ed and Lorraine Warren. My friend and I decided to give a presentation about them and their work fighting against demonic forces. After seeing the first installment of The Conjuring, I was blown away by James Wan's intricate storytelling and the film's elevated uniqueness within the horror genre. The third installment in this horror franchise, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, directed by Michael Chaves (of The Curse of La Llorona previously), possesses a divergent feeling. It falls rather short of its predecessors; however, its fascinating story based on true events, along with actors Vera Farmiga & Patrick Wilson returning as Lorraine & Ed Warren, still charm and spook. The year is 1981. While Ed and Lorraine Warren prepare for an exorcism, 8-year-old David Glatzel (Julian Hilliard) lies limp in his mother's arms. His sister, Debbie (Sarah Catherine Hook), and her boyfriend,...

After a five-year hiatus that felt much, much longer than that, the “Conjuring” franchise is back with its third main-series movie, “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.” While stars Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are back as Lorraine and Ed Warren, this time we’ve got a new director, Michael Chaves, who takes over from James Wan.
As is usually the case with these movies and the franchise spinoffs, “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” is based on a true story. The horror flick follows the notorious 1981 murder trial of 19-year-old Arne Johnson, who claimed he stabbed his landlord to death while under the influence of a demonic force.
The story goes that, after a young boy shows signs of demon possession, the Warrens get called in to do an exorcism — but Arne interferes, and begs the demon or demons to leave the boy and possess him instead.

"Whatever happened that day... that was not Ernie." Warner Bros / New Line has debuted one final trailer for the chilling new horror sequel The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, the third feature in The Conjuring franchise that originally started with James Wan's film in 2013. This one tells the very eerie and frightening story about the first time in U.S. history that a murder suspect would claim demonic possession as a defense. One of the most sensational cases from their files... what will they discover hiding in the dark corners? Seems like something really bad is lurking around this time. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return as Lorraine and Ed Warren, and the cast includes Julian Hilliard, Ruairi O’Connor, Shannon Kook, Eugenie Bondurant, Sterling Jerins, and Sarah Catherine Hook.

For this third entry in the Conjuring series, Lorraine and Ed Warren have returned to take on one of the most infamous demonic cases of the 1980s for The Devil Made Me Do It, based on the real-life murder trial of Arne Johnson that took place in Connecticut in 1981. At the helm of this installment in the Conjuring franchise is Michael Chaves (The Curse of La Llorona), with James Wan handing over the directorial reins this time around. And while The Devil Made Me Do It doesn’t quite hit the same highs as its predecessors did (The Conjuring 2 still remains my favorite entry in the series), The Devil Made Me Do It still has a few creepy tricks up its sleeves, and seeing Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reunited once again for this latest sequel was a welcome sight as well, as they are great as usual.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It continues the arc of the Conjuring franchise, exploring the continuing misadventures of demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga), while The Nun and the Annabelle movies tracked the backstories of the pious paranormal pioneers. The newest entry dramatizes one of their most famous cases, which set several legal and historic precedents.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It will be the first main entry in the horror series not helmed by James Wan, who is producing along with Peter Safran. Michael Chaves (The Curse of La Llorona) directed the film from David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick’s screenplay, with a story by Johnson-McGoldrick and Wan.
The story involves the very first murder committed in Brookline, Connecticut, in its 193-year history. It is also the first U.S. legal case where a defendant used the “devil made me do it” defense.

One of the most sensational cases from their files, it starts with a fight for the soul of a young boy, then takes them beyond anything they’d ever seen before, to mark the first time in U.S. history that a murder suspect would claim demonic possession as a defence.
Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return to star as Lorraine and Ed Warren, under the direction of Michael Chaves (“The Curse of La Llorona”).

Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are back in “The Devil Made Me Do It,” which is based on real case files and involves an actual murder case about a young man in 1981 named Arne Johnson who for the first time in a court of law claimed demonic possession as a defense.
“The court accepts the existence of God every time a witness swears to tell the truth,” Patrick Wilson says in the trailer. “I think it’s about time they accept the existence of the Devil.”

Lorraine Warren has seen true evil at the start of The Conjuring 2 and wants to call it quits — at least for a while — but when the Hodgson family finds itself under siege by a terrible haunting, the paranormal investigators have no choice but to help. Set in the late ’70s in the London Borough of Enfield, The Conjuring 2 ticks off many of the same boxes as the original: haunted house, demonic possession, and a relentless pace full of jump scares that doesn’t let up until the Warrens are back in their spooky museum, locking away their latest ghostly trinket just before the credits roll.
And like the first movie, which is based on the real-life investigations of demonologist Ed Warren and the clairvoyant Lorraine, The Conjuring 2 is heavily inspired by a true story, one that captured the attention of British tabloids — and even the BBC — just...

Travel Channel is kicking off its new “Shock Doc” programming with one of the earliest paranormal pairings. And they are having a fun time doing it. Devil’s Road: The True Story of Ed and Lorraine Warren is a jaunty ride through the lives and cases of Ed and Lorraine Warren. Told with gleefully dramatic suspense, it skips the more disconcerting aspects of their private lives and controversial claims to justify their legend. Before Ghost Hunters, Ghostbusters or even In Search Of, you couldn’t walk into a haunted house in the Northeast U.S. without bumping into the Warrens. Without them there would be no Poltergeist, no The Conjuring, not even little Anabelle would be part of public consciousness. They weren’t the first, but they cornered the mystery market.
Devil’s Road serves up the Warrens with morbid exuberance. They tease their presentation with promises of details which have never been told before.

Ed Warren was a self-taught ghost hunter, and his wife Lorraine was a spiritual medium, and their mythology led to the classic horror films The Amityville Horror and The Conjuring.

The two-hour special is the first in a new umbrella series called Shock Docs, which are scheduled to air throughout the fall. The special premieres on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7.

Exclusive: The recent surge nationwide of coronavirus cases and California Governor Gavin Newsom‘s recent promise to lay down tougher restrictions in the state tomorrow has many in exhibition and distribution really concerned that there’s no hard date in immediate sight as to when the big circuits will reopen again.
I hear that after July 4, there will be another assessment by studios and the big circuits as to whether the current lineup of movies –Solstice Studios’ Unhinged, TriStar’s Broken Hearts Gallery, Warner Bros.’ Tenet and Disney’s Mulan– moves again as a block in another two week delay for each film as more Covid-19 data unveils itself.

Peacock has rounded out the lead cast for its upcoming Saved by the Bell reboot, adding Haskiri Velazquez (The Birch), Mitchell Hoog (Harriet), Alycia Pascual-Pena (Chase) and Belmont Cameli (Empire).
They join previously announced original-series cast members Elizabeth Berkley, Mario Lopez and Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who are returning for the reboot, along with new leads Josie Totah and Dexter Darden.
In the new Saved by the Bell, California Governor Zack Morris (Gosselaar) gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools and proposes they send the affected students to the highest-performing schools in the state, including Bayside High.

Velazquez plays Daisy, a smart, ambitious sophomore who is excited at the prospect of attending Bayside High after her local school gets shut down. Hoog plays Mac Morris, the handsome, charming, privileged son of Governor Zack Morris.
