The Conjuring 2 (2016) – WTF Really Happened to This Horror Movie?

The Conjuring films are based on cases that were worked on by real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren – and in the new episode of our video series WTF Really Happened to This Horror Movie? we’re looking at the real world events that inspired The Conjuring 2 (watch it HERE)! You can find out all about them by checking out the video embedded above.

WTF Really Happened to This Horror Movie? is sort of a spin-off from our show WTF Happened to This Horror MovieWTF Really Happened to This Horror Movie? dives into movies that were based on or “inspired by” true stories, real people, and actual historical events so we can try to separate fact from fiction.

Directed by James Wan, who also crafted the screenplay with Chad Hayes, Carey W. Hayes, and David Leslie Johnson, The Conjuring 2 has the following synopsis:

In 1977, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren come out of a self-imposed sabbatical to travel to Enfield, a borough in north London. There, they meet Peggy Hodgson, an overwhelmed single mother of four who tells the couple that something evil is in her home. Ed and Lorraine believe her story when the youngest daughter starts to show signs of demonic possession. As the Warrens try to help the besieged girl, they become the next targets of the malicious spirit.

The film stars Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Frances O’Connor, Madison Wolfe, Simon McBurney, and Franka Potente.

This episode of WTF Really Happened to This Horror Movie was Written and Narrated by Andrew Hatfield, Edited by Mike Conway, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

The previous episodes of this series focused on JawsThe Exorcist, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, and The Sacrament and you can watch a couple of them below.
