Summary

“There’s so much door play in this movie!” - Chris

On this week’s episode, we’re dipping into horror territory to revisit the film that got the haunted ball rolling, The Conjuring! Before all the nuns and eerie doll spin-offs, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga hit the screen with this solid entry in the possession genre that features a fun amount of hair dye, cool sideburns, Lili Taylor being thrown around a basement by a ghost, a killer title scroll, one too many jump scares, a reference to The Changeling, and much more! PLUS: We gotta start hiring dogs to sniff out ghosts before purchasing real estate!

The Conjuring stars Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Lili Taylor, Ron Livingston, Joey King, Shanley Caswell, Mackenzie Foy, Kyla Deaver, John Brotherton, Sterling Jerins, and Shannon Kook as Drew; directed by James Wan.
