The Conjuring - Inspired by Ed and Lorraine Warren with the Perron Family

from Inspired By A True Story · host The Hollywood Outsider

October - 1973. The Perron Family have moved into a dream of a home. Unfortunately, it allegedly harbored a dark, evil secret and for the next decade. This family claimed to be tortured by a malevolent spirt, and they were begging for help, and Ed and Lorraine Warren, a pair of paranormal investigators, were more than happy to oblige. In 2013, renowned horror director James Wan reinvents history in The Conjuring, as Ed and Lorraine Warren are reimagined as the only ones who can stop this horror. But did they? Grab your crucifixes, it's time for an exorcism of facts, because The Conjuring was indeed inspired by a true story.
