The Conjuring Universe is the shared universe centered on a series of supernatural horror
films, including The Conjuring, Annabelle, and The Nun.
The films present a dramatization of the supposed real-life cases of Ed and Lorraine Warren,
paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of hauntings around the
world.
Some of these hauntings resulted in the couple encountering some truly terrifying demons
and entities.
So today on Top 5 Scary Videos, I’m going to be counting down our list of the Top 5
Scary Demons In The Conjuring Universe.
Before we begin though, be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be
responding to some of your comments, and with that, let’s jump in.
5 The Ferryman The Ferryman is an antagonist in The Conjuring
franchise, specifically appearing in the 2019 film Annabelle Comes Home.
Directed by Gary Dauberman, the movie follows Judy and her babysitter who are left alone
in their house after her parents leave to investigate a case.
However, an unexpected guest sets Annabelle free, unleashing demonic activity in the house.
Now, some backstory to this new character.
The Ferryman was first investigated by demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren after the death of
a young girl by its hands.
They interviewed those affected by the demon, who told them that the Ferryman demanded a
“toll”, or else it would take the souls of the departed.
Ed and Lorraine were able to collect coins from corpses that were cursed by the entity,
and had them blessed and locked away in their museum.
However, in Annabelle Comes home, things take a turn for the worse when the Warren’s daughter
accidentally sets a demon loose, drawing energy and bringing the Ferryman and other spirits
to its aid.
4 Annabelle Annabelle the Doll, or more specifically the
Annabelle Demon, is the secondary antagonist of The Conjuring franchise, and also serves
as the main antagonist of Annabelle, Annabelle: Creation, and Annabelle Comes Home.
This is a powerful demonic entity that, despite being able to exist independent, frequently
latches onto a porcelain doll to torment those who own it.
It is also one of the artifacts taken by Ed and Lorraine Warren during one of their cases.
Annabelle is actually considered to be their most dangerous and haunted item, and has a
habit of moving around unseen.
According to the films, it is said that the doll first became possessed after a seven-year-old
girl named Annabelle Higgins died from an intended murder.
Although she is said to possess the spirit of an actual girl, many demonologists think
that it is, in fact, more of an evil spirit than a demon.
Annabelle is unbelievably scary, but what is worse is that demon that follows it around.
Now, its true demonic form was portrayed by Joseph Bishara who also portrayed Bathsheba,
someone we’ll discuss a little later on.
Outside of the Conjuring Universe, Annabelle is also mentioned in The Curse of La Llorona.
When Anna Tate-Garcia goes to ask advice from Father Parez on how to rid her family of La
Llorona’s curse, he explains that he previously did not believe in the supernatural until
he had a run-in with “a doll”.
The movie then flashes back to Annabelle’s attack on him.
So is The Curse of La Llorona also in The Conjuring Universe?
That’s my question.
3 The Crooked Man To quote the lyrics to this creepy nursery
rhyme: “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.”
The Crooked Man appears in The Conjuring 2 along with another notable demon that we will
be discussing a little later on.
He is the spirit from the eponymous English nursery rhyme and is a maniacal, lanky, crooked
man who torments the young son of the Hodgson family.
The Crooked Man is also an upcoming horror movie and the ninth installment in The Conjuring
Universe.
In September 2018, it was announced that the movie was in the scripting process and that
the studio intends to wait until the story is fully developed before production will
begin.
2 Bathsheba Bathsheba Sherman is the main antagonist of
The Conjuring which is loosely based on the true story of the Haunting in Harrisville,
Rhode Island.
She is the evil specter of an 1800s devil worshipper and watch.
An interesting fact before we begin, despite being a female, she was portrayed by Joseph
Bishara, who also played the Lipstick-Face Demon in Insidious, and the demon in the prequel
film Annabelle.
Bathsheba is a malevolent, sadistic, and murderous demon who haunts the Perron household.
She is bloodthirsty, unsympathetic, remorseless, uncaring and cruel.
Along the way she possesses the mother of the Perron family, turning her against her
family and her children.
She is vengeful, targeting any family that would take her land, and also the Warrens
who attempted to investigate their land, leading to Bathsheba attempting to murder their daughter.
Prior to haunting the Perron family, she was an enthusiastic and fanatical follower of
Satanism, which led her to sacrifice her own child to Satan and was willing to die for
his beliefs.
To quote Carolyn and Lorraine in The Conjuring: “How could a mother kill her own child?
It was never a child to her.
She just used her God-given gift as the ultimate offense against Him.”
Bathsheba claps, stabs, and screams, making her one of the scariest villains in The Conjuring
Universe.
1 Valak the Nun To quote Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring
2: “Your name gives me dominion over you, demon, and I do know your name!
You are Valak - the defiler, the profane, the marquis of snakes!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, I condemn you back
to Hell!”
Valak is the main antagonist of The Conjuring franchise, first appearing as the main antagonist
in The Conjuring 2 back in 2016.
The film was directed by James Wan and follows Ed and Lorraine Warren as they travel to Britain
to assist the Hodgson family, who are experiencing poltergeist activity at their Enfield council
house in 1977 which later became referred to as the Enfield Poltergeist.
Now, Valak is absolutely horrific, and is a very wicked, ruthless, sadistic, cold and
completely despicable demon who appears in the form of a nun.
The demon begins to haunt and terrify the Hodgsons family just for its own twisted pleasure.
In turn, Valak is feared by the nuns of the Abbey of St Carta, in Romania.
It is spiritually oppressive, taunting Lorraine about her faith.
On top of that, Valak is shown to be intelligent, calculated, well-organized, and a good mastermind,
being able to disguise itself as a nun to not be noticed.
Valak has also worked alongside other demons, including the Annabella spirit.
In mythology, Valac is known as the Great President of Hell, with over 30 legions at
his command.
The demon often manifests as an angelically winged boy riding a two-headed dragon and
it possesses the power to find treasures.In the case of the film, Valak’s treasure was
the vision of Ed Warren being impaled, which it offered to his wife Lorraine as a gift.
So sweet.
