Horror movies during the 2000s were at a very low point. They were usually the easiest money to make at the box office because of how inexpensive they were to make, and nothing outside of a few well-placed jump scares, was really truly scary. Then around the mid-2010s, Horror movies started to make a bit of a resurgence. Audiences were ready for films that truly scared them and did not just make them feel a few cheap thrills for an hour and a half. One of the films that pioneered this resurgence in Horror was James Wan’s The Conjuring.

    the idea of a horror cinematic universe is so cool to me and I think they executed it pretty decently
  • Ask any Mexican, they’ll tell you la llorona is real. I bet if the writers were Mexican/Latin/south American, the movie wouldn’t have flopped as much. Or maybe I just want a really good Llorona movie. She’s so iconic.
  • My grandpa grew up in Mexico, and he also has forgotten mostly everything he knows, yet he still tells the story about when he was in high school, he snuck out to hang out with his friends. On his way home, he had to walk down a long railroad track. His friends weren't with him anymore, so when he heard them laughing and talking behind him, he was a little scared. When he turned around, he said that down the trail was La llarona. He said she was beautiful until he got closer to her, and she looked up at him and was pail and sick, looking. He ran home without looking back and never saw her again. He has yet to change or forget that story from over 60 years ago.....
  • @amandag1337
    Yes, bring back James Wan. The first Conjuring is one of my all-time favorites.
  • I think Bathsheba needs more backstory, she's def very scary as of the first conjuring movie, I loved the addition of the nun and Annabelle but I want another movie with Bathsheba coming back to the conjuring house where it all began
  • One of my favourite horror movie scares of all time was in Annabelle Creation. It was the scene when the two girls were playing in Annabelle's room at night, and accidentally hit the doll's face while the doll was sitting on the bed, causing its head to be turned slightly. Then, between cuts, the girls notice that Annabelle had turned her head back towards them. There was no loud music cues or dramatic score, no "oh my God did you see that", and no frills. Just a doll head-turning slightly off-screen 👍
  • @Anthony-yz5oy
    I would highly recommend Wendigoons video on Ed and Lorraine Warren as I think he did a very good job covering there story in a non biased manner
  • i love ed and lorraine. their relationship felt so real and im excited to see more of them in future movies
  • @gabrielrangel956
    The scariest part of the Conjuring Universe is learning about the real Ed and Lorraine Warren, they're ironically much more similar to the demons they fight in the movies than their versions portraited in it
  • @ljmcalphin4229
    The point in time where the demon 'vomits' into the characters mouth isn't 'vomit' its the exact moment of possession. The nasty evil has been forcefully placed inside the character. They no longer have control. That's why in the first Conjuring film you knew the battle was won when she vomits into the ground. The evil had been removed from her body. Not gonna lie I'm enjoying this video.
  • @sleeppyy-ll4xk
    If you had watched The Nun 2 , you can see near the end , you see Lorraine’s eyes in sister Irene’s vision to where she found out she’s a descendant from saint Lucy . So there’s got to be a relation with Lorraine and Irene
  • @iseespeed5311
    I like that in Annabelle Comes Home it unlocked every monster in the artifact room, I just can't imagine being as traumatized while being hunted down by every type of evil supernatural being imaginable.
  • @minodorasimon21
    I think the best scene in the history of horror movies is that when Lorrain and Vallak officially "introduce" themselves to each other. Well, specifically Lorrain's line "Your name gives me dominion over you, demon. And I do know your name! You are Vallak!". There's something so magnificent about it. I think it's the first time when someone who is not a priest is in direct confrontation with a demon so fiercely.
  • @cyrilsantos85
    The Insidious universe is also an interesting world to look into. It's like similar to the The Conjuring movies too.😁
  • @mr.esquite8
    I always heard of La Llorona growing up in Mexico. I knew it to be a Mexican urban legend type of story, but it's interesting to see how it could be connected to the Conjuring universe.
  • Annabelle creation does contain my favorite line of dialogue from the entire franchise. It’s between Linda and Sister Charlotte,after they close the well. “What’s in there?” “Who cares,Run!!”
  • @tyronfoston7123
    James Wan is one of the best movies creators in the past 10-20yrs
  • @rapz85
    I know alot or most will disagree but I feel like from a real-world standpoint that the actual Annabelle doll was scarier than the one used in the films. The one they used already looked terrifying when it was originally made, like they meant for it to be unsettling. That kind of thing is something I'd keep my eyes on if some seriously unexplainable crap went down since its got 'permanent terrifying schemer' face. You could spot that friggin horror show out of a thousand other dolls. Essentially the cinematic Annabelle is getting profiled since she just looks the part, all blame roads end with her. The original doll however, is one that you could throw in a pile of other dolls and not think anything of it. That blank face, innocent smile, and unassuming posture isn't terrifying you because it hasn't done anything yet to warrant fear. Annabelle from the movie was a custom job that has few copies, while the raggedy ann doll is mass-produced. She's tiny, physically unimposing, created from flimsy materials, sporting a very non-threatening look and blindly pleasant designed demeanor. She's the kind of doll parents would place in a crib because it literally looks as if it was designed to be incapable of harm. When messed up unexplainable things begin to happen, and assuming you're lucky enough to actually suspect something of the doll so easy to dismiss because of a look intentionally designed to be a pleasant and innocent presence given to the youngest of children, you tell me that those blank eyes that are always staring but never actually looking at anything, and that exaggerated cartoonish smile don't start to get creepy, then progressively creepier.
  • @adwarriorlegend1
    I think a full movie about the Warrens investigating Amityville would make a good movie. As well as a werewolf case for another movies story, those could both be really good.
  • @Rifi77
    Great video! The first Conjuring movie and the second Annabelle movie are my absolute favorites. Of course not all movies were as good, but I think it's really cool to see a horror cinematic universe
