With last years release of The Nun, a prequel film to The Conjuring, fans of the Conjuring
franchise finally got what they wanted -- a link.
With the presence of Valek, -- and scene taken from the original conjuring film that hinted
to The Nun and The Conjuring existing within the same timeline -- it has finally been confirmed
that there is indeed a Conjuringverse and more than those two films may exist within
it.
From The Amityville Horror, to Insidious, to An American Werewolf in London -- we’re
going to be listing off some of the best fan theories fans have about the Conjuring Universe.
Hey guys, welcome back to Top 5 Scary Videos, I’m your host Lucy McPhee and today we’re
going to be talking about the Top 5 Conjuringverse Fan Theories.
5 The Amityville Horror Now this theory is a 2-parter, stemming from
the defeat of Valek -- or perhaps the lack thereof.
As we saw in The Conjuring 2 Valak was ultimately sent back to the hell from whence she came
after Lorraine Warren uttered her name.
Simple as.
We thought it was the end of the big baddie of The Conjuring series -- be we may actually
be wrong on that front.
With The Conjuring 3 in the works, many fans have been quick to theorize what they think
the plot could entail -- from the crooked man -- to the southend werewolf -- both of
which we’ll be discussing later on in our list -- fans have had some VERY interesting
theories, particularly regarding The Amityville Horror.
A case that was referenced briefly in The Conjuring 2.
Though the plot of the film doesn’t focus solely on the case investigated by the Warrens,
-- the brief scene we had did imply that Valak was in some way connected to The Amityville
Haunting.
Potentially Valak could pop up again in a future film -- encouraging the DeFeo murders.
Maybe not -- but we shall see.
Just please don’t bring back Ryan Reynolds.
4 Insidious Released in 2010, Insidious was James Wan’s
first creation in what is now known as the Conjuring universe.
An intention that he always had was to create a shared universe within his films, along
the same vein as Marvel.
Now, though the films may not exist in the same timeline -- there is definitely the chance
that Insidious exists within the same universe as The Conjuring.
The biggest factors being -- well, Patrick Wilson -- yeah, not a solid reason, but it’s
good enough for me.
Creepy dolls and the lipstick face demon who appears to be obsessed with them -- scattering
them throughout his demonic lair.
Could these two films somewhat be connected through the lipstick face demon -- perhaps
he has an alliance with Annabelle.
3 Crooked Man The disturbing entity that appears in The
Conjuring 2 has been confirmed to be getting his own spin-off title in the conjuring universe.
Though animated, the character is perfectly terrifying -- moving awkwardly with his umbrella
hunting down children.
Creepier still -- The Crooked Man is actually based on a nursery rhyme from the 1840’s
that went something like “There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, and they all lived together in a little
crooked house”.
Now, if the nursery rhyme is anything to go by, perhaps in the crooked man solo film we
could be seeing A LOT of crooked items -- further adding to the terrifying nature of this character.
Perhaps it will be a Hansel and Gretel esque story -- with the crooked man luring children
in to his crooked home where they can play with his crooked cat.
I’m terrified already.
2 The Southend Werewolf There have been a lot of rumours and speculation
recently about what the third Conjuring film could focus on -- and one answer that has
emerged out of the cosmos is The Southend Werewolf -- another case investigated by The
Warrens.
Born in Southend, William Ramsay discovered something wasn’t quite right with him when
he was just 9 years old -- he was overcome with overwhelming rage and hatred -- resulting
in uprooting a fence and gnawing on the wire meshing.
Time passed -- he grew older -- and William never faced another incident like the one
he had at 9 years old, until one night when he was out with some friends at a pub he we
overcome with the same animalistic rage he encountered when he was younger.
He ran to the bathroom, and their looking back at him in the mirror was a werewolf.
However, worse was still to come.
After suffering from chest pains William checked himself into the hospital -- but, halfway
through his examination he sank his teeth into the arm of the nurse and began running
through the halls acting possessed.
After William’s act of insanity appeared on the TV, Ed and Lorraine saw this, and Lorraine
immediately considered that he might actually be possessed.
After negotiating with William, he flew over to Connecticut to meet with the Warren in
their local church to undergo an exorcism.
During the exorcism Williams face contorted -- hands formed claws and the werewolf from
within descended upon them all -- before eventually being banished.
The entire event was recorded on film.
So -- with all that being said -- could this potentially be the premise for the upcoming
Conjuring 3 -- James Wan himself has even stated that this story would take the Warrens
into An American Werewolf in London territory -- and honestly, it sounds like an excellent
idea to me.
1 Irene and Lorraine In the latest installment of the Conjuring
Universe we meet that character Sister Irene, who must solve the mysterious goings on at
her convent -- which we later learn is thanks to the sinister force of Valak, the demon
that Lorraine Warren faces up against in The Conjuring 2.
Now in The Nun, Lorraine makes an appearance in a flash-forward sequence -- which ties
the plot of the two films together.
However -- what many fans noted was the striking similarities between Irene and Lorraine -- now,
Lorraine is played by Vera Farmiga, and Irene played by her younger sister Taissa -- and
many can’t help but think that this casting choice was important for future installments
in the franchise.
Now the film does make sure to let us know that they are not the same person -- but that
doesn’t mean they are not in some way related -- considering they both suffer from clairvoyant
abilities and hallucinations -- and have both faced off against Valak, the ultimate baddie.
What do you guys think though?
Well there we have it!
