THE CONJURING (2013)—Based on real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, The Conjuring follows the couple as they help a family tormented by a dark presence in their farmhouse. As supernatural events escalate, the Warrens uncover a chilling history tied to witchcraft and possession. With atmospheric direction, eerie set pieces, and strong performances, this modern horror staple revitalized the haunted house genre with old-school scares and a grounded emotional core.

THE CONJURING 2 (2016)—The Warrens return to tackle another chilling case—this time in 1970s London. Called to investigate the Enfield poltergeist, they confront a malevolent spirit tormenting a single mother and her children. As the Warrens navigate skepticism, fear, and spiritual warfare, they also wrestle with the toll their work takes on their own lives. The Conjuring 2 builds on the first film’s success with heightened stakes, deeper character development, and even more terrifying supernatural encounters.

It’s our Season 7 finale! This week, we revisit the terrifying “true” tales of Ed and Lorraine Warren with a haunting double feature that defined a new era of horror. Join us as we delve into the chilling craft of James Wan, from shadowy staircases to demonic possessions and that unforgettable nun. We’ll weigh the emotional arcs, set design, and supernatural showdowns that made these films instant classics. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys opens a door to something better left closed… and perhaps brings back more than we bargained for.
