Are Ed and Lorraine Warren real demonologists or just clever con artists? In this episode of Cinemental, we dive deep into The Conjuring and explore the controversial legacy of the Warrens. Known as the most famous paranormal investigators in modern history, Ed (a self-taught demonologist) and Lorraine (a clairvoyant) became the faces behind some of the most chilling “true story” horror films ever made. But were they uncovering real supernatural activity—or selling a carefully crafted myth?

We break down their methods, their role in the rise of The Conjuring universe, and why audiences remain fascinated by their blend of faith, folklore, and fear. Along the way, we ask tough questions about belief vs. skepticism, what makes a horror franchise successful, and why people are drawn to stories about hauntings, possession, and the unknown.
