On today’s episode, we’re discussing The Conjuring, the 2013 supernatural thriller that redefined modern horror. Directed by James Wan, the film follows real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they confront a dark presence haunting a family farmhouse in Rhode Island. We’ll explore the film’s spine-tingling atmosphere, its roots in true events, and what it means to believe in the unknown. 
(Editor's note: The day after we recorded this the tragedy involving Dan Rivera (Paranormal investigator who was touring with the real Annabelle doll) tragically passed away in Pennsylvania mid-tour with the doll. Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones)
