This man Patrick Wilson straight up jumped back and forth from one horror movie universe to another.

I saw The Conjuring in theaters with my brother during summer break when we were 15 and 16 and I remember the closet scene like the back of my hand because a big black guy and his girl were couple of rows in front of us and when she popped up on the closet he yelled “DAMN” everyone in that room laughed their ass off haha

That one jump scare with the clapping would have been more impressive if they hadn't spoiled it in the trailer.

The shooting location is a real house that people live in. It’s a beautiful country home in North Carolina. The dock and swamp out back are real. The creepy tree was fake. Also the house didn’t have a basement. If the house looks familiar, it’s been in a LOT of movies. On the same property right next door is a rustic cabin that was used regularly in the series Sleepy Hollow which had been the Sheriff’s cabin. There’s nothing creepy about the place when you’re actually there. It’s amazing how much talent James Wan and team have shown turning this country paradise into a terrifying haunted house.

The characters of the Warrens in these movies and the Warrens IRL are about as far apart as you can get. It’d be similar to making a movie with Bernie Madoff as the protagonist
