This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch.
Hi, everybody. Welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for
those too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily. I'm very, very scared.
I'm Henley. I'm also scared. I am Sammy. I'm usually brave, but today I'm also pretty scared.
Her resolve is deteriorating. Oh, no. Well, did anything scary happen to us in the real world?
I have one following the same theme from a couple weeks ago i had yet another scary
cat dream oh no if anyone wants to um write in and tell us what these mean i would love to hear
i would truly love that dream interpreters please let us know please let us know. So this time it was my childhood cat, Oreo.
And
his feet fell off.
I hate that.
That is scary.
And I had to carry him around
because I couldn't put him on the ground.
And I was trying to get
to work, but I couldn't because
I needed to get Oreo to the vet
first. And that was just the vet first and that was
just the conundrum I was in I can't really remember
the rest of it but
yeah it was really
upsetting that's scary
that is scary
scary
well
I keep shoehorning them in but really
okay the scariest thing that happened to me this week
it also happened to Sammy.
And on Friday, we were out at a local bar.
I won't say where because we're keeping it private.
And we saw none other than Matthew Reese.
In the real world.
And I almost cried. I started like hyperventilating yeah this is a big deal
for us i'd say this was huge deal for us the americans are it's your all-time favorite
and carrie russell jennings from the americans
wow we have a video of both of us crying when he won an Emmy and we were really tempted to show it to
we just we decided not to so much we love him so much and he's also just someone I would never
expect to see like he doesn't I kept saying what's he doing here why does he doesn't live here
in LA I know this and also I was like where's Carrie? What's happening? Why is he here?
And I think he's shooting something
and that's normal and couples can be separate
and that's also healthy.
Would have been great to see
both of them though. If I might have
passed out. I really might
have passed out if I'd seen them together. True.
It was scary in
a good way.
Mm-hmm.
A scary thing that happened to me this week was
I, you know, do you guys get your phone notifying you
of your like average screen time each day on Sundays? Yes.
My fucking average screen time last week was 5 hours and 47 minutes a day
and it like shook me to my core. Wait, I want to look at mine now.
I'm curious to find this. Okay okay so i downloaded this new game and this is exactly why it's been happening and it's
called block doku don't download it it's uh i'm downloading it right now block doku it's a mixture
between tetris and sudoku oh boy and truly i i guess i play it five hours and 47 minutes a day
are you really good at it though i bet you're pretty good at it yeah but i deleted it after And truly, I guess I play it five hours and 47 minutes a day.
Are you really good at it, though?
I bet you're great at it. I'm pretty good at it, yeah.
But I deleted it after that because I was like, what am I doing with my life?
It was a nightmare.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
The other very scary thing that happened to me this week was watching this week's movie,
which was terrifying.
This week's movie was The Conjuring.
Oh, boy.
Came out in 2013.
Scary.
Very scary.
Directed by James Wan.
Written by Chad and Carrie Hayes.
Starring Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Ron Livingston, Lily Taylor, Joey King, Mackenzie Foy.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
And it's fucking scary.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I am really scared.
We have technically a return guest for what you may have heard.
We just we disclosed due to technical difficulties and or haunting our last episode with this guest never surfaced.
So we're all really nervously watching the recording as it happens.
She's a comedian.
She is an actor.
She has two podcasts, a funny feeling, and we love trash. A Funny Feeling and We Love Trash.
She is the very best
and we're so thrilled
she was willing to come back
and do this again.
Thank you for coming again.
Betsy Sedora.
Thank you.
No, seriously, I'm so pumped
because I said this before
and I'll say it again.
It's my favorite thing.
Yeah, you do.
You are a known lover
of Halloween, scary movies. Yes. You are a known lover of Halloween.
Scary movies.
In fact, when our friend Jess came on a few weeks ago, she just named after you so many
times.
So casually.
She was like, oh, that's right.
And I was, you know, because of Betsy.
And I realized as we were going, like, we're just going to assume everyone knows what we're
talking about.
I'm the only Betsy in the world.
I think that's right.
I think that's right. I'm so pumped and I'm
even more pumped to see
if this one
gets ruined
because then that means I'm fucking
haunted. We're going to have a real conundrum
on our hands if that happens again.
I will like really
I'll go through something if it happens.
Two makes it a pattern.
And what's common there is you.
Yep.
And let's just hope.
Let's just hope.
Fingers crossed.
Let's just hope.
Betsy, what's the scariest movie you've ever seen?
Well, actually, I mean, recently, I think it has to be The Conjuring.
Within the last, I mean, that was six years ago.
But like, that was one that just, wow. Oh, no. I loved it has to be The Conjuring within the last. I mean, that was six years ago, but like that was one that just wow.
Oh, no.
I loved it, though.
I loved it so much.
But I was like, I hadn't felt that way in a while seeing a movie.
I did recently just watch.
I think it's streaming on Prime.
This one called Hell House LLC.
And it's
a blast and I jumped
a lot.
It's kind of like a found footage
about this group
of friends putting together a
big haunted house
for Halloween, but then all
this shit goes down.
It's a good jump scare
one.
This one's a lot of jump scares, right?
Yeah, but then also like just really good, creepy, earned.
It's such a good balance.
This is like a real movie.
I think that's why it was.
I don't know if it was a hit.
I think it was. I think it was.
I think it was.
I mean, it sprouted off a whole.
Yeah.
I didn't realize that like Annabelle and all of those are part of it, too.
And I think it was where it's just like, oh, these are good actors.
This is straight up a good movie that happens to be scary.
Yeah.
It's so good.
But this and then The Changeling is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.
The last episode.
The last episode.
And as I was watching Conjuring
again, there's a lot of
similarities.
I think this is what
gets me going.
Yep.
I think Sammy's actually scared.
This one kind of really got to her I think. It's fucking scary.
Yeah well so I'll
tell the story of the first time I saw The Conjuring
because I didn't see it in theaters.
If I'd seen this in theaters I would have just dropped dead I think.
It was one of those
where it was just like. Did you see it in theaters Betsy?
Three times. Oh my god. I loved it so much
but that first time just
on the edge of my seat like just
holding on to Mano and Drew just being like like, what the fuck is going to happen?
It's awesome.
I was working at a trailer place where we were working on this movie and I was an assistant editor and one of the producers at the end of the night.
First of all, they like that was long standing knowledge that the building that we worked in was haunted.
And I was on the night shift
and so as everyone left,
one of the producers was like, can you go
through this new movie we just got in The Conjuring
and pull selects from it?
And so I was alone
in the machine room
is what we called it, where it's just
computer screens
everywhere. And so every time I
moved, my reflection would move and so I was
just like jumping around like
freaking myself out and I had to watch The Conjuring
by myself. I can't believe you got through that.
It was a true nightmare.
I thought it was also like an HR claim
waiting to happen. That's what I was going to say. Should I quit?
Yeah, definitely.
Do you do it with like headphones on too?
Yes, yes. That's so scary.
Yeah. That's so scary. Yeah.
That's a horrifying way to have to watch it.
Oh, it was a nightmare.
And so I was, this is the first time I've rewatched it since then.
And I was really scared.
And Henley graciously actually offered to be the brave person this week.
And I figured since I had already seen it, I might as well just bite the bullet so that I could scare you.
I also just, I can't even believe, like, I don't't think you I don't know what you were thinking, Henley.
It's exactly what you
said earlier. Mind over matter.
Mind over matter.
So we'll see what happens. Henley texted today
because I was doing some research
about this movie and was already like,
I just like searched, I typed
the conjuring into my Google search and the
images that came up, I was like, oh god.
And I was getting oh god and I was getting so scared
and I texted
I texted about it in our chain and Emily said
I just decided I'm not going to be
scared by this movie
I love that
I made a decision
Emily you have to watch it
then and we have to find out
if it does scare you okay I need
someone to watch it with me though because
my fiance will not watch any
scary movies.
It's not going to be me.
It's not going to be Emily for sure.
Oh God, no.
In a strange role
reversal, Henley doesn't seem to be
that scared of this movie, but
I am and I will need
a cocktail to make it through it. So let's
jump right into cocktail hour. This week's cocktail is a Devil's Margarita. To make this cocktail,
you'll need one and a half ounces of Blanco tequila, one ounce of fresh lime juice, three
quarters an ounce of simple syrup, and a half an ounce of red wine. Combine the first three
ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until chilled
and then strain into a martini glass and float the red wine over the top so it has a spooky
red float and garnish with a lime. And if you're like me, you're going to need a couple of them
because I am scared. Cheers.
They just, I don't know if you saw this in the news, but the house that inspired the like where.
Yeah.
Because The Conjuring is based on a true story.
Very scary.
And somebody just bought the house.
In like June or July.
That's a stupid decision.
They're like ghost.
Oh, like paranormal. Ghost free investigators. in like June or July. That's a stupid decision. They're like ghost freaks.
They're like pumped and they plan on kind of restoring it and
then opening it up to the public.
That's kind of fun, I guess. That's better than like a
family of seven.
Exactly. A family of seven
just being like, we're really struggling for money.
We'll buy this house nobody wants.
You should see the picture of the fucking
house. It is
disgusting. It's from the
1700s and it looks like
it. I couldn't see how
any person would be like, yeah,
I want to live in that.
It looks like such a haunted house.
I think it's in Rhode Island.
That's a spooky state.
It is scary.
New England is horrifying. That's a spooky state. New England is scary. New England is horrifying.
Yeah, New England is definitely horrifying.
It's so spooky.
It's full of ghosts.
The witch.
You know the ghosts are all there.
I mean, after experiencing the witch.
Yes.
Yep.
But yeah, the owner's like, as soon as we bought it and were there, stuff started happening.
Oh, God.
Jesus.
Oh, God.
No.
Yeah.
So that was one of the
trivia is that I looked
up is that I did not
know that this was based
on a true story.
I was like searching
for proof that it was
not trying to prove
it was a prank.
So it's just a prank.
That's when I decided
not to be scared.
At that stage, when
Sammy was desperate
enough to be searching
the Internet, trying to
find out if it was a
prank.
I was like, I need proof that Ed and Lorraine
Warren are like con artists.
There's a lot of like...
There's definitely questions to be asked.
Stuff on them. So that's what I was doing
to calm myself down afterwards because I was
pretty freaked.
Yeah, yeah. And I feel like
some of this
stuff was faked. May have been legit, but then some of it may have been faked.
Yeah, I can accept that as long as I'm getting a little bit of safety.
How do you pronounce?
I can't have this be a true story.
How do you pronounce the last name of the family?
Perrin?
Perrin?
Perrin?
Perrin?
I don't know.
So here's the trivia.
Eight generations
of families
lived and died
in the house
before that family
moved in.
Eight generations.
So the deaths
that happened there
included two
documented suicides,
a poisoning death.
This one's bad.
The rape and murder
of an 11-year-old girl.
That's so gross. Two drownings and four men who froze to death. This one's bad. The rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl. Jesus Christ.
Two drownings.
And four men who froze to death.
Froze to death.
Wow.
Really?
Not good stuff happening.
No.
This is a haunted house.
Yeah.
A lot of really, really.
And it looks haunted.
It looks fucking haunted. Even in the 1700s, I don't think anybody was pumped to look at that house.
There's no point in which that house was good.
No!
It was always nasty as hell.
I guarantee it.
It must have been.
Also, when the movie was shown in the Philippines, some cinemas had to hire Catholic priests
to bless the viewers before showing it.
This was due to some viewers having
reported a negative presence
after watching the film.
The priests also provided spiritual
and psychological help to the viewers.
Can you imagine going to see
a movie and then immediately upon
leaving talking to a priest?
I need to see my priest.
What priest does the theater have? I was going to say to demand that a theater provide a priest in to a priest. I need to see my priest. What priest does the theater have?
I was going to say to demand that a theater provide
a priest in house priest.
I am like popcorn, like show it in the theater
priest priest.
You got it.
That's wild.
Okay, so I haven't
obviously have not seen this movie,
but it apparently
doesn't have well it's
okay no sex or nudity little profanity god yes tame and mostly bloodless violence but it has an
r rating because of how fucking scary it is that makes sense from scary and that's insane the thing
that popped up on netflix the rating reasons, was because of sequences of
disturbing violence and terror.
Terror!
It's a terribly rated R for terror.
For just the amount of terror.
It's so good. Oh, boy. Should we watch the trailer?
Let's watch the trailer. I'm very scared to watch the trailer.
Let's watch it. Yes! Buckle up.
It's November 1st,
1971. I'm sitting here with
Carolyn Perrin, who, with her family, has been experiencing supernatural occurrences.
You picking up anything in here, hon?
Something awful happened here, Ed.
What is it?
We have to get out of here.
That's not gonna help.
This thing has latched itself to your family.
Father, we've never seen nothing like this.
I'm coming with you.
No way, I can't lose you.
Wait!
There's a lady in a dirty nightgown
that I see in my dreams.
She's standing in front of my mom's bed.
oh i couldn't even watch that trailer i i couldn't even look at it well that's how i usually am with kind of these kind of horror movies in general i just cover my eyes a lot and this time i was
like well i've got to talk about it So I was really forcing myself to watch it.
Did you watch it during the daytime?
Yeah, I watched it at night and I almost turned the lights off.
But then I was like, let's not go overboard.
That's huge.
That's huge.
I like I ended up watching this alone, but it was the first time because I've tried before
in like hotel rooms.
Like it would be on HBO.
I was like, yeah, I'm going to watch it.
And then I get too scared. But I did this time and I was like I'm gonna go pitch black but I didn't I got too scared
yeah I was too scared and also after watching it um my cat was doing the thing where they just
stare at like a space on the wall and that was not ideal for me no no Sammy with two cats I think
it's ill-advised for you to be watching all these, with two cats, I think it's
ill-advised for you to be watching all these horror movies.
Yeah, well, most of them,
I've said it before, but it's the ghost and
demon stuff that really freaks me out.
Because I can rationalize away,
like, say, an event horizon.
I'm not in that situation.
You're not in space.
In space facing a black hole to hell.
Oh, God, yeah.
But, yeah, these ones get me
really scare me yeah they scare me so much well should we launch right in should we just get right
into it i mean are you scared ready honestly i'm as ready as i'll ever be okay so let's
do it i'm so pumped let's do it the best um i used to love back to school shopping so much that i
would tell my mom that i wanted to work at staples when i grew up because i just loved getting all
the things that i needed that i would use every day in class i still to this day have nightmares about showing up in class without notebooks or number two pencils. Really
scary stuff. But luckily I wake up and I realize I don't actually need notebooks or number two
pencils anymore. But this fall there is something that I will be using every day and would be
terrified to be caught without. And that's Raycon's best
selling everyday earbuds. I've been trying to go on walks every day and so I need earbuds
that I can rely on to listen to all my favorite podcasts. And I know you guys listen to podcasts
as well, so you know what I'm talking about. I got my Raycons in carbon black because that's my vibe,
but they come in other cool colors as well, like forest green and brush violet. But my favorite
thing about them is the battery life. They stay charged for 32 hours and they have a new quick charge function so 10 minutes of charging gets you 90
minutes of battery life really freaking convenient for i don't know say a long morning walk you
forgot to charge them and you just need a little bit of juice to listen to one episode of a podcast. It's only going to take you 10 minutes. It's incredible.

Annabelle. And it's kind of, I guess, like a flashback to another case that the Warrens did. Okay, so Ed and Lorraine Warren are Patrick Wilson and
Vera Farmiga. They're
paranormal researchers.
He's a
demonologist.
She's a clairvoyant.
And they're kind of a team that go in
and help people with hauntings. And so this is
one of their previous cases.
And they're also married?
Are they together?
They're a married couple, yes. And they're also married. Right. Are they like together? They're a married couple.
Yes.
And Lorraine Warren was a was an advisor on the film.
She was still alive at the at the she actually just died this year.
Yeah.
But she was she was an advisor on this film and said it all happened.
What did she what did she die of?
Just curious.
I think she was just old age.
I don't know.
Oh, really?
It was a demon. I think she was just old age. I don't know. Oh, really? I think she was being older. Is that why?
It was a demon, I think.
Oh, really?
Well, okay.
Sure.
Likely story.
Yeah, a demon sucked her age out of her.
That makes way more sense.
Yeah, so they're like talking to two or three people, two who are nurses.
And this is based, Annabelle is a real doll.
But it was a Raggedy Ann doll.
But it's a Raggedy Ann doll.
And they were like, let's make it a way scarier looking doll.
Yeah, a way nastier doll.
In the Annabelle movies, too many people are like, oh, this doll is awesome looking.
It's like, no, that's fucking nasty.
Too many people are like, what a beautiful doll.
But the nurse student, the nurses are like, it started off with just like a hand movie,
you know, like the doll's hand being not where it was propped.
And then it started going on to like being in a different room and all of this shit.
And then they start getting like notes from it. Yeah, that right
like, miss me?
And they tell
Ed and Lorraine, they're like,
oh, a psychic or
somebody told us that
there's a spirit of a little
girl named Annabelle.
Right. Like hanging around
and wanted to use our doll.
And so we're nurses. We like to help people they say and they're like come yeah go ahead spirit live in this doll right oh no and ed and
lorraine are both like you did what you can't do that that's not a that's not a ghost it's a demon
or another being that's not human right it has never
been human and so the nurses invited a
demon into the doll giving it more
power yeah
people what would have happened though if they had said
no can you really do we have the power
to be like no demon and it'll go like oh
they didn't say yes I mean I guess so
there are things that humans can do
to invite demons into their lives
I like to hear that.
People who have had weird shit happening just be like, okay, go in and just be like, this
is my space.
No.
Get out.
Right.
And it works.
But also, I don't know.
Probably because there are so many easier targets.
Yeah.
Right.
Hit up an actual kid.
Yeah.
You idiot.
So these stupid fucking nurses invited a demon into the doll. Yes.
And all this creepy shit
starts happening. And eventually
they're like so freaked out that they like take it
downstairs to the dumpster.
And they throw Annabelle
in the trash. That never works.
Never works. You're absolutely
right. It never works.
They're sleeping
in their fucking huge thick
nightgowns and there's
banging on the door
and they open the doors. He looks
around, nothing, nothing, and then looks down
and the crumpled up miss me
note from earlier written
in crayons because she's a doll
is crumpled
is like folded out
at their doorstep.
And then
they hear another bang
from a door down the hallway.
And one of the
other nurse opens up the door.
And in the room, there's
drawings all over the walls
in red crayon, so it kind of looks
like blood. It's very spooky and creepy.
Very spooky. And it says miss me
again I think. Yeah.
And Annabelle's just
in the room. Just chilling.
Scary. And so they've
gone to Ed and Lorraine to be like we don't know
what to do. Yeah.
And Ed and Lorraine are like okay we'll take
the doll for you. Oh.
Which apparently and here I've
for a funny
feeling, I did a little blob on
Annabelle the
doll. And apparently like on
the way home
while I think Ed was
driving the doll, the doll was in the
back seat, like their
car started to like
malfunction. Oh no way.
I guess the doll! Oh my god stuff. It's the dog!
Oh my god. Maybe it's the demon
we put in our car.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I think it just
cuts to them
in the university classroom, right?
Yeah, I think so.
Wait, did we already say that this is 1971?
Well, that was a few years earlier. I think that was
like sometime mid mid 60s.
And then it cuts to.
Oh, yeah.
And then it's like pulling out of a projection projection.
And they're they're teaching that case in a class to like university students.
And so they're like, and that was, you know, the Annabelle case.
And how we solved the Annabelle case and how we solved the Annabelle case and
that's where we get to meet them and
hear more information about
them and they're
you know like I said
a person's like so what do you call yourselves
and Patrick Wilson's like
oh paranormal
investigators one other thing and then
Vera Fermiga comes in she goes
kooks and it gets a big
laugh.
Do they say what they end up doing
with the doll after? Yes it comes
in later.
We'll see her again.
So then there's like a fun
like freeze frame of them and it's like
like creepy
loud music and then it goes
to explain like Ed and Lorraine
Warren have done a bunch of
cases and there was one that
they were too scared to talk about
until now.
And then it's like the conjuring
and it looks cool and old
like it looks like a 70s horror movie.
Is that true?
That they truly like didn't talk about this case until this movie was made?
I don't know.
I'm not sure about that.
Okay.
So then we cut to this family of seven.
Too many.
Too many.
That's a lot.
Too many.
Lots of babies.
Mother and father and five daughters moving into a new spooky house.
Too spooky.
The mom and dad are Roger and Carolyn.
And the daughters are Christine, Cindy, Andrea, April, and Nancy.
And they move in and the dog won't come in the house.
Oh, not a good sign.
The dog is a bad sign.
And immediately you're like, fuck.
The animals always know.
Yes, animals always know. Yes, animals always
know. They just, they are
connected. Animals always know and kids
always talk to the ghost.
The kid's always
the first one to see it. Yeah, I've never
had a kid for many reasons, but
that's a big one.
They have a fucking imaginary friend.
Uh-uh, that's a ghost.
I don't need to be around that.
That's fucking gross.
Get out of here.
So then we get introduced
to their horrible
clapping hide and seek game.
So they're in this big
kind of, you know, new house
and the girls are all excited and they play
hide and seek and the rules of the game
are you get to ask the people hiding to clap new house and the girls are all excited and they play hide and seek and the rules of the game are
you get to ask the people hiding to clap um at three different points in the game so you get
like warmer and closer to one is the idea so they're playing that in the new house and it's
i i hate this game i hate this game so much i hate it much. So it's like hide and seek plus Marco Polo. Yes.
Exactly. Pretty much. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, and so
the littlest one
has discovered this music
box and is sitting there
and is just like, huh? And looking at
it and then when the music
stops, she like looks behind
her shoulder.
This is a little something.
So they're playing this
clap game and one of the
girls finds another
one in this closet and like
shoves her being like, I got you!
And lo and behold,
there's a big thundering
crash. They
discover a damn door
or a doorway. Or a doorway.
To a basement. To a fucking basement.
That's very Conjuring.
Discovering. I mean the
fucking Changeling.
Changeling? Conjuring?
They're so similar.
C-H? End with a G?
The C-H-ing?
The C-H-ing?
Oh, I guess Conjuring didn't.
The C-H-ing? The C-H-ing? Oh, I guess Conjuring didn't. Oh, Conjuring doesn't have a C-H.
The C-H-ing?
The C-H-ing?
What's going on?
Look, I don't think we're making a leap here.
Nuh-uh.
To discover a nasty basement, and the dad, like, goes down, and the mom follows, and
he's just using matches, and he's like, whoa, there's a lot of stuff and it's like horrifying looking
piano and then all sorts of things
like covered in sheets and so many
spider webs and cobwebs and it's
disgusting and a ball
a red ball no way
a red ball way dude
that's another reference to the
that was another thing that was close to
changing a piano where
the mom maybe this is later when they're like going through it,
but where she plays three notes.
Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
Remember that.
I'm getting that.
Remember that.
It's so scary.
But I don't think anything like scary happens yet.
They go to sleep that night.
Yes.
And then they wake up in the morning and the mom has like
bruises like crazy
but they have they have sex that night
they're like and so she
wakes up and she's like we don't see it
we don't see it no
but they talk about it and then the next morning
she's like oh I guess like we got a little rough
last night but like the bruises are kind of like
they're crazy
like getting hit with like a bat bruises are kind of crazy. They're huge bruises, like getting hit
with a bat bruises.
She doesn't seem more
suspicious of them? No, she writes
it off pretty quick. Yeah, she thinks Roger
did it to her. Interesting.
He slapped her leg with his
dick.
Huge bruises from that.
You must have slapped me with your big, heavy
dick. Not again.
Roger, what's his name?
Definitely possible.
Pretty big dick.
Probably got you.
And she notices that all the clocks
stopped at 3.07.
Which I talked about
this on Changeling.
I remember.
I'm going to repeat it because the listeners haven't heard
it um after my
third time seeing it uh
the conjuring
i went out had
fun and then went to bed and
fucking woke up at
307 a.m
to immediately
just email all my friends
i just saw the con rain with.
Just be like, this is too fucking spooky.
I like turned the lights on and watched Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
Yeah.
Because I was too fucking scared.
It's the only choice at that point.
That's it.
It's happening to me.
And then the youngest daughter, April, is like, where's Sadie?
And they're like, oh, we couldn't get her to come in.
She's still outside. Oh, Sadie's the dog, sorry.
Sadie's the dog. And
she's like, oh, she's
tied up outside. And
they go outside and Sadie
has been killed. Sadie is dead.
Strangled herself. Oh, us, the animal
always comes first. Oh, yeah, because as they were
getting ready for bed and to do it,
Sadie kept just barking at the house.
And the mom's like,
wow, Sadie's really been losing it.
He's like, don't worry, she's tied up. She'll be fine.
And then she died.
I don't like that rule.
I think they say she strangled
herself to death.
Yeah, obviously.
A ghost did it.
That is so sad.
It's bad, but honestly, a part of me
was a little relieved because you know that dog
is going to die and it happened really quick.
It did happen quick.
And I was like, okay.
That's the horror movie
trope though that I want to see.
Because that's always usually the rule
setter almost.
Well, it has to happen not to a human
first. Let's do a dog.
I was like, no.
So then we get to, it cuts to
the Warren household,
Ed and Lorraine's house, and we kind of see
their, they have
a room full of
objects that have been
possessed by demons, I guess.
The conduits. They, like they have a
room where they just put them all?
Like a bunch of locks.
Annabelle's in there and all sorts
of other creepy shit.
And he's like getting interviewed by a dude.
He's like, here's all of our stuff. Do not touch
any of this. Yeah.
Because the demon could attach to you instead.
And we
find that they have a daughter.
And then I think we go back to the Perrin household.
Yeah.
And it's this is a part that I hate the most, I think, is it's in the two of the girls.
Oh, yeah.
Bedrooms.
This is one of the scariest scenes ever.
It's Christine and Nancy,
two of the middle sisters, and
they have like twin beds next to each other
and Christine's
leg gets pulled.
And you see it. And they're
sleeping? They're sleeping.
And she kind of like turns
and is like, Nancy, like, stop it.
And she
says, stop farting. Oh oh yeah because everybody's been kind of
complaining like there's a smell there's a nasty smell in the house which is never a good sign not
a good sign not a good sign and it's also cold in the house yes not a good sign cold and yeah so
she's like nancy stop pulling my leg and stop farting. And you see that Nancy is put on Nancy.
Yeah, poor Nancy.
Nancy really gets it, this movie.
And you see that Nancy is just asleep in her bed.
And then like a bigger pullout.
Or is that not yet?
I don't think that one is yet.
Does she realize what's happened to her or no?
No, she's just like a little like confused. Yeah. Maybe she thinks she had one to her? Or no? No, she's just like a little confused.
Yeah.
Maybe she thinks she had one of those dreams where you're like
you're off a curb.
And he's like, ah!
Maybe that.
And then we see downstairs, Roger
is
the old TV static
on the TV, which
I hate a lot.
Also, that was also a paranormal activity.
Yeah.
And he hears a banging and is trying to find it.
This whole scene is very tense because, you know, looking for where the banging is coming from.
Just hearing the banging and him is like, where?
And it's a huge house with a million doors it feels like it has
like 30
different ways to get in and out of this
fucking place yeah so he's just
like checking every door
with like the slow like
tense like build up
and you're just like where is it going
what is going on and then at the
he like gets to the foot of the stairs
and the oldest daughter
is like standing there and it's like quite
a jump scare because it like comes to her.
It's a good scare. And she's like in
a nasty nightgown.
It's creepy. Yeah.
And Jessica is standing there and he's like, what
is going on? You should be in bed.
And she's like, Cindy,
one of the other
daughters, many daughters, is sleepwalking again.
And she is banging her head against the closet in the oldest daughter's room.
Yeah, this big, like, nasty wardrobe.
Oh, that you thought were like...
That's distressing.
Which came with the house, guys.
Oh, no.
Bad news.
No, no, no, no, no.
Awful.
This wardrobe does not.
Yeah, she's like banging her head against it, sleepwalking.
And so Roger comes in.
That's very spooky.
Puts his hand between her head and the closet and kind of guides her back to her bed.
Yeah.
So the next morning, the mom has some new bruises.
More bruises.
She's like, more sex?
Did we even know that?
I think this time she's like, what the fuck? She's like a little
more confused. Yeah, and her husband
is like, hey, go to the doctor. She's like, okay.
So the oldest
daughters all go to school
and only one of the daughters is young enough to stay
home. Roger goes to work. So it's
just the mom and the youngest daughter in the
house, April.
And she
hears her talking to someone
in a room. She's having a
tea party. And she's
like, who are you talking to? And there's a cool
shot of just seeing
the girl in the door
and then the mom pushes the door and nobody's
there because the girl's talking, and then the mom pushes the door and nobody's there because like the girl's talking like
having a conversation
with someone.
She's like, who are you talking to? My friend Rory.
My new friend Rory.
And she
like has her little music box
and she's like, if you
turn the little music
thing in the music box,
you can see him behind you.
And this is a part where, yeah, normally I would have closed my eyes and I forced myself to watch it.
Yeah, you did.
And she does it and she sees a very creepy little like 18th century boy.
That's Vera.
I don't think she sees one yet.
Because there's the scare of her closing it
and it's her kid. Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
Sorry, I spoiled it for later.
It's fine.
Either way, it's a spooky scene.
It's fucking scary.
And then the kid's like, can we play clap?
Is that what it's called? Hide and clap.
Hide and clap.
And the answer is no after seeing
an 18th century ghost. Oh wait, no, she hasn't actually
seen the ghost yet. Sorry. Okay.
So the answer is yes!
Of course! My favorite game!
And so she's like, okay mom, you're it.
Tying a
blindfold around her and
then making her spin around ten times
and she's like, remember, you get three
you get to ask three times for a clap or whatever.
And so the game begins and the mom's done spinning.
She's like, well, and she's like, okay, first clap.
And we hear it far away somewhere out down the hall somewhere.
And so she's like making her way down the hall,
just feeling everywhere.
And there's like a
huge area
where she could fall over a railing
and die. It does seem like yeah
a bad place to be
blindfolded walking around. Go downstairs
and be like okay. Only on the first floor.
Only on the first floor. Yeah. Cause she could
easily flip over a railing and
fall to her death.
Anyway she does it and so she keeps going and she's like oh and bumps easily flip over a railing and fall to her death. Anyway, she doesn't.
And so she keeps going
and she's like, and bumps her
leg and is like,
okay, second clap.
And then we hear, second
clap, and she starts to make her way
into the room with this
wardrobe.
And she's like, I think I...
And she's like, quiet think I... And she's like
quiet and then the doors to the wardrobe
open.
And she's like,
I think I know where you are.
She's like smiling.
Ooh, I hear you.
And you clap.
And then two hands reach out.
And she's like, I'm gonna
get you.
She sneaks up, I'm gonna get you she sneaks out i'm gonna get you and you hear like a oh and she says like i can hear you breathing yes and then um as she's like getting
ready to put her arms in the clothes into the wardrobe she hears like laughing coming from the
hallway and like pulls the pulls the blindfold up and
it's just like what the fuck and turns and april jumps into the door and is like hi mom
you took your blindfold off you didn't even like you weren't even close you weren't even close i
was in a completely different bedroom and then mom turns around and she's like digging through
being like what did i just hear but also playing it cool
so she doesn't freak April out.
So the hands that came out what did they look like?
They're gray. They're gray
and spooky. Gray and spooky.
Big old sleeves like kind of like
what you think a pilgrim shirt would look like.
Okay.
Yeah. It's a fantastic
scene. So damn
scary.
Oh, God.
And then we're back in Christina and Nancy's room for the following night.
And this is the, I think, scariest part of the movie. This scene I think about too often when I'm about to go to bed.
Okay, well, tell us about it so we can also think
about it before we go to bed, too.
After this scene
where I had to turn it off multiple times
in hotel rooms and stuff, I'm like, too scary.
This is the cutoff point.
So, we're
back in that room. Christina
is sleeping with her legs out
and, like,
pulls her and she and like pulls her
and she's like what stop it
Nancy stop it whatever whatever
and then and there's
a slow kind of like
paranormal activity like a slow
not slow but
a low sound
like a low like
something's going on
something's up and then a bigger whoosh pulls her almost completely off to where she wakes up and she's
just like, what?
What the fuck's going on?
And she sees like no one is.
She sees Nancy is asleep.
So she's like freaking out.
And she's just like, what the fuck?
And so she goes to look under her bed.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
And she makes her way down look under her bed. Don't do that. Don't do that. And she makes her way down, looking under the bed.
And very creepy shots.
Very creepy shots.
Slow peeking under the bed.
Nothing.
Okay, but we see under the bed towards, and the door was open, right?
The door's open.
Door's open to the hallway.
We see like a part of nancy's bed but but
nothing and so she's like looking upside down and then the door starts to like move a little bit
yeah just like creaks closed a bit so the like darkness behind the door like you can't see what's
behind it but it's like and she's looking at it like she's just terrified such a
good actor she is i this is joey king and um this is the first thing that i saw her in and i remember
being like oh this little girl is a good i remember that too i just in this area be like she's fucking
good yeah she is she is she's really good and she starts fucking freaking out. She's just panicked.
And she's like, Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, wake up, wake up.
And like starting to cry.
She's crying and she's like,
my palms started sweating
at this point. They're sweating again now.
It's so scary.
And she's like, Nancy, wake up.
And Nancy wakes up and like
puts on her glasses and
she's like, Joey King goes like
do you see do you see
it behind the door like can
you see can you see it
we're looking we're seeing
it too and it's just pure black
pitch black there's something
behind that door
oh my god and then Nancy
walks over and she's like you're being crazy
and like and she like walks over and like stands like you're being crazy and like and she like
walks over and like stands like right by she's like there's nothing over here she's like
and then right behind you like it's standing above you it's right behind you and then the door
slams closed and then you go into the parents room and you just hear the girls like screaming
losing their minds and the the parents like run you just hear the girls like screaming, losing their mind.
And the parents like run in and they can't open the door.
And they eventually get in.
Oh, man, I have so many chills.
It's so scary.
They eventually get in.
And this is like Joey King's like such a good like scream.
Like she's just scream crying.
Yeah.
And it's just like somebody's in here.
And of course, dad's like, nobody's
in here or whatever.
Like, everybody's just like, what the
fuck? Okay. Oh, and
Joey King says, they're like, what
happened? And she says,
it told me it wants my family
dead. It wants
my family dead.
Oh, so good.
But they haven't actually been harmed,
like physically harmed. No. Right.
Just emotionally traumatized.
Yeah. For a long period of time.
Are we to understand that Nancy, the other sister,
didn't see whatever Joe... I think she
felt it, right?
Yeah, I think with the door slam, she was like,
oh, fuck. But she couldn't see it.
But she didn't hear, yeah.
Yeah, and couldn't hear, Yeah. I want my family dead.
I want my family dead.
She's really good.
So nasty.
I was literally on the edge of my seat while you guys were telling us that.
Oh, God.
It was so spooky.
It's such a good, scary scene.
And so then I think it's the next night, but maybe this same night the mom has like more bruises and that's
when the husband is like, please go get that checked out.
Or no, the husband is maybe gone.
He goes out somewhere.
Yes, he's a truck driver.
So he's gone for the night.
And the mom,
Carolyn, hears
clapping.
Yeah, she hears like
giggling and like running and then clapping and she's like
girls, don't.
Everybody's asleep. Like she's asleep.
It's like the middle of the night and she's like, girls
it's way too late. Like why are you playing hide and
clap? And then she goes into each of their
rooms. They're all asleep.
Oh God, no. And all of a sudden
this huge crash.
And as she turns around
she sees all of the pictures that huge crash. And as she turns around, she sees all
of the pictures that are going down
the stairs of like her family have been
knocked down and she hears like
running and like
laughter. And so
somebody just ran down.
And so
she's just like, what the, what is this?
Who's here? And makes her
way down. She makes her way downstairs and she's still hearing the clapping and she's kind of tracing
it to the very spooky basement.
Yes.
She goes in and gets like.
Is this where.
Totally freaked out.
Doesn't she also hear like the door opens to the basement and she hears the three notes
she played on the piano.
Oh, yes. Oh.. And she's just like
what is going on?
Something is fucking with you. Yes.
Don't go down there.
She goes down.
So she's down there
and I think maybe she's looking
around and it looks awful. Things are covered
so it constantly looks like
classic sheet ghosts are
around something's there and then yeah the ball bounces rolls out and she's like fuck this and
she goes back up the stairs up the stairs and she's like whoever's down here like i'm shutting
you in here and then as she turns to walk out the door slams closed into her face and knocks her back down the stairs
and the like light of
the basement like the light
bulb like shatters so it's like pitch
black so you just like hear
her like kind of screaming
and freaking out and she's crawling up the
stairs and she runs back up the stairs
and she can't get out she can't get out
but the matches from her husband when
they were looking down there are still on the thing.
So she strikes a match.
And she's just like and she's hearing or maybe.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
OK.
She hears a child's voice say, want to play?
Want to play?
Oh, come on.
Want to play hide and clap or something?
Hide and clap.
And then hands come out from behind her
from the dark. And clap
right next to her head.
And the match goes out.
And she loses her shit.
And she's freaking out.
And then at
the same time in the
room with the nasty wardrobe
the
oldest daughter. Andrea's the oldest daughter.
It's her room.
No.
Wakes up to that, the knocking, like, dunk, dunk, dunk, and her sister's sleepwalking
again, banging her head into that wardrobe.
Oh, no.
And she's like, uh-oh.
So she moves her into, she says, okay, you can sleep in my room tonight, moves her into
the bed, gets her tucked in. And then he is the same. And then it starts banging again. Dunk, okay, you can sleep in my room tonight. Moves her into the bed. Gets her tucked in.
And then it starts banging again.
And she's looking over and she's like, what?
And her sister's asleep.
And so she goes and makes her way to the wardrobe.
Why?
No, why?
I don't know.
Because you're curious.
Curiosity killed the cat.
Thank you.
You got to check it out.
If your wardrobe was banging, you'd check it out.
Fuck no.
I was going out with my clothes.
And so
she opens the
doors and I think at some point
the girl who was asleep
and sleepwalking just sits
straight up with her
eyes. Sorry, sorry,
sorry. Sorry to scare you. It was
my foot
hitting a thing.
It's straight up like fucking
Dracula coming out of his
fucking coffin. She rises up looking
Is she pointing?
She does eventually.
So the girl is like looking in the closet.
Andrea is looking in the closet.
And she doesn't know that her sister is up behind her.
And I think this sister is looking
She like gasps or something. She makes something
where Andrea turns back and looks
to her sister in the bed and her sister is
looking above the closet.
And is just like, hi, hi, hi.
Like making some sort of noise.
And then
other sister looks up
and it's like the shot is of a
fucking old lady.
Disgusting demon woman.
Disgusting demon woman.
In like a nasty night ground.
Crouched. And then
jumps down on her.
And so they start fucking
screaming. So mom is in the
basement fucking screaming. These kids are screaming.
Dad pulls up
in his big rig. Home after
a night of work. With his fucking lunchbox.
Here's screaming from
far away in
the house and he's just like, oh god, what's going
on? Gets the mom out.
They run upstairs. All
the kids are fucking freaking out and
the oldest daughter is still on the
ground. Like wrestling something that they
can't see oh no
and so they're all just like yeah this place is
fucking wild
and it's awesome
yeah so wait there's a shot of her
wrestling something you can't see yes
that's cool I like that
there's a few shots like that that are really cool
some of the yeah
filmmaking is great
so they've had
a very bad night and I feel like at this point
everyone has had some
amount of a run in and so
except the dad really right
he just freaked but I think
he trusts like that
something is up
that is pretty nice like cause so many movies
someone is like
you guys are all on your period.
Right.
This house full of women.
These ladies, yikes.
Usually it is just like,
nope, you guys are nuts.
We can't, like everything seems
pretty normal
how people would act in a situation
like this. No one's diminishing it.
No one's dismissing it. No one's fucking up.
This is crazy.
We are staying here because we bought this place and don't have money or anywhere to go.
But it's not like you guys are all crazy.
He's after this night, especially.
He's like, OK, he buys it.
He's like, OK, my family is scared.
Something is happening and I'm taking it seriously.
Yeah.
is scared something is happening and i'm taking it seriously yeah so then we cut back to the um the warrens in another classroom teaching the three stages of demons i guess where they're like
it's in three stages it's infestation oppression and possession and as they're like describing that, the cameras move in to then get on the mom.
What's her name?
Caroline.
Caroline.
And it's like the demon will always possess like the weakest one in the family.
And it's just like her sitting there looking crazy.
It has to be an insult on top of everything else.
The one whose hair just looks the messiest all the time.
I'm a mom of fucking 20 kids.
I don't believe in birth control.
And so, yeah, it zooms her and she's like, watch.
And they show another like exorcist happening with like a dude whose eyes are crying red.
So I guess blood bleeding, crying red. So I guess bleeding. Crying red.
Bleeding.
An upside down cross
is like appearing on his
side under his skin.
So Carolyn
comes up to them after
class and is like begging
them like please. Yes.
We need your help. Something is going on.
Oh Vera's wearing a very big collar
yes this is when she's wearing the big collar she is fabulous she's great unbelievable and just this
whole movie just like i don't know yeah she's perfect she's perfect everything she's in perfect
yeah she's um so yeah so they're like okay we'll come and check it out they agree
and they go to the house and they walk in and um lorraine vera fermiga is like kind of hit it like
immediately kind of hit with it and she's like ed something there's definitely there's something
here like they're not they're not wrong like This is the real thing. The family is sleeping in their living room
because it's gotten too scary for them.
Yeah, so they feel safer
and it's sleeping all together.
Yeah, and they had to tie doors closed
because all throughout the night
they would just hear three knocks at a time.
And it's like, whoa,
that's like usually a demon taunting
the Holy Trinity.
The Holy Trinity is threes.
I like this reaction. I like that
they're all sleeping together. I like that they're taking it
seriously. Doesn't it feel like more realistic?
That's what you would do?
You wouldn't just brush it off.
Even if nothing is happening,
if your fucking family's waking up screaming
in the middle of the night, like, yeah, we'll all sleep together.
Let's figure this out. Lights on.
We are not taking any
chances. Whatever we want. Exactly.
And they like say that
the clock has been stopping at 307
every night. All the clocks stop
at 307. And all the knocking
all the stuff that's going
stops when the sun comes up. And so
Ed and Lorraine are like, whoa.
So Lorraine
goes off with April and is
like, tell me about your friend Rory.
Yeah. And this is where we get the scene
that I spoiled earlier. Yeah.
Where she looks in the
music box, creepy
tension building up as she's
winding the little knob.
It's a long, nasty song. as she's winding the little knob. There's a long nasty song.
And she's zooming
like she's moving it all around.
Like where is this little weirdo?
And you see the creepy
little boy and
she turns around and he's
not there but she can see him in the
And he's wearing like nasty like
old clothes that look
like the hands.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So how old is he do you think?
He's a little boy.
He looks like nine.
Very creepy.
Very creepy.
Lorraine goes outside and she's walking by this big spooky tree and looking at thereby
on like a lakefront.
and looking at thereby on like a lake front
her husband Ed comes out to
check on her and as
she turns around to look at
him she you see
her face and then she sees
something and is looking really scared
cut to
dead hanging feet behind
behind Ed and he has no clue
he can't see it and you hear
just like a rope creaking on a branch.
Just like.
So a woman hung herself off this tree.
Yeah.
And it's a really good scare.
And then they go into the house, right?
And they're like talking to them being like, okay.
Like Lorraine is like, I've seen something.
There's something latched to you guys yes you
can't like moving out
will not work
because it's latched to you
it's connected to you yes
it's like paranormal activity and they're like
well she's like there are a lot
of spirits here but there's only
one that I'm really worried about
because it's so
hateful and And I really
hated that. Just one
really evil one. Just one
hateful spirit. And they're
like, are your kids baptized?
And they're like, no.
They're like, you might want to get baptized.
What?
Why?
Because Christianity is real.
There is a part
where Ed says because like oh and they set up there is a part there is a part where
there's a part where
Ed says God is real the devil is real
and like
we have to pick a side essentially
so this is a religious film
a bit he like sets up crosses
around and
oh maybe this hasn't happened yet but he does
say that it like irritates demons
when they see any religious.
Yeah.
What would them getting baptized do?
See, that's where I feel like wouldn't that piss them off more?
Oh, I guess maybe because God is ultimately more powerful than the devil.
So if you've got God on your side, you're chill.
Okay.
Okay. I'm pretty sure that's, you're chill. Okay. Okay.
I'm pretty sure that's Christianity in a nutshell.
I think so. If you've got God on your side,
you're chill. You're chill. Don't worry about it.
So they sit down and
with the recording and so they're like
starting a new case and they're interviewing
the parents and they're like
we're with, you know, Carolyn
and Roger Perrone and
tell us what's been happening and they kind of go through some of the stuff.
And that's where they're like saying, like, here's the deal.
Like, it's a demon.
Yeah.
Clock's always stopped.
All this stuff.
Then they get home.
Ooh.
And they play back the recording.
No.
And Carolyn's voice didn't record.
Carolyn's voice.
Everyone's voice is there except for the mom's.
Isn't that fucked up?
I hated that a lot.
That's one of the scariest that I've never seen
in a movie.
It was smart.
It was scary.
And then we got some
Lorraine has been doing some
research into the history of the house
and the previous owners
and she says basically like.
The original tenant.
Was a descendant of.
Like an accused witch.
Of the Salem witch trials.
Yeah.
And I think this is true.
Yeah.
Because this is based on a true story.
Named Shebeth.
It's something like that.
I didn't write it down.
Because I couldn't.
It's a fun name.
Yeah. It's like Bethesda or something like that. Bethesda. Shebeth. It's something like that. I didn't write it down because I couldn't... It's a fun name. Yeah, it's like Bethesda
or something like that.
Something like Beth.
Something fun. I think we should go with Shebeth.
Shebeth?
Shebela?
And basically, they say
how she swore
her allegiance to the devil and hung
herself in the tree and cursed
like everyone that has lived there since. Yeah, in the land and hung herself in the tree. Yeah. And cursed like everyone that lived there since.
Yeah, in the land, right?
In the land.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then since then, a lot of the tenants have killed themselves, killed their children.
There is like a maid that had killed herself.
A little boy that got killed.
And then the mom also killed herself. I can't remember
if people drowned.
And these are the real things that happened.
That's what I was like.
I need to find proof that they're all
just lying. That they all just
want attention. Oh, and then
the tape starts playing on its own.
No. And guess what time
it is? 3.07.
Yeah, it is. And they're like, uh-oh.
Ooh, we got some work to do.
And the tape just plays back like
screams. Like it's not
an interview. It's nasty.
This is to Ed and Lorraine. This is to Ed and Lorraine
just in their kitchen doing work.
Staying up late.
Staying up too late. Oh, and it's
just screaming? It's like
demon screams. It's like inhuman's just screaming. It's like demon screams.
It's like inhuman.
Like it's awful.
It's nasty.
It's so bad.
So, yeah, they're like, we got to help these people.
They're in big trouble.
Yeah.
So then they have their two like people that work with them.
They have like a cameraman and a tech man.
And the camera dude is a cop.
Yes. And I think they're like to make sure that there's protection yeah and he's skeptical he's like whatever he thinks he's like this is
all stupid i'll just make some money whatever yeah and so they're muscle they're like basically
we're gonna move in with you guys and set up cameras everywhere and we're gonna oh because
basically well i don't know't know. They need proof.
They need proof in order to do an exorcism.
They need permission from the church to do an exorcism because Ed is not an ordained priest.
Yes.
So he cannot perform the exorcism.
So they're applying, I think, for permission.
But in order to get it they need proof yeah so they
set up cameras everywhere and bells on the door bells on the doors like um cameras set up to like
motion detect if somebody's walking by it really feels like once you have proof it's too late
so true that doesn't seem like an accurate workflow or efficient workflow to me.
And then Lorraine
is for some reason doing
laundry at the house.
Oh yeah.
Wait does anything happen that first night?
I don't think so. I think maybe it's a fake
fake out. I think so. The door opens.
The cellar door opens.
Oh and they go down
and nothing happens.
It's kind of like found footage and you can only
hear what's through his mic, which was cool.
But then, yeah, nothing really
happens. And the clocks don't stop
at 3.07. Yes, because they're all there
up at 3.07.
I see what you're up to. Yeah, we get it.
So it keeps going and so
the cop is like, told you. Yeah, I think this is all bullshit. And they. Yeah, we get it. So it keeps going. And so the cop is like, The cop is like, told you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think this is all bullshit.
And they're like, okay, whatever.
And then...
Next day.
Next day, they're having pancakes.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Having a good time.
Having a nice morning.
They have their first good night's sleep in a while.
The kids are so happy that they're there.
Yeah, everybody's just like,
thank goodness you're here.
We're happy.
Things are back to normal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And yeah, Lorraine is doing laundry.
Hanging up.
Blew my mind.
Hanging up laundry outside on those little things.
Clothesline.
Clothesline.
Thank you.
And like Ed comes out and they like canoodle a little bit and she's like
awesome like yeah we gotta help him ed okay we will and then ed leaves and then also um in an
earlier scene this is a weird place to shoehorn it in but she had had a part with a scene with her daughter where her daughter had
given her a necklace
and has
each of them have a necklace so her daughter has
a necklace a little locket with a
photo of Ed and Lorraine
and she's like and I got one for you with a
photo of me yes and so Lorraine's
wearing this locket with a photo of her
daughter and her daughter Judy
so sorry just popped into my mind.
That'll come back. But okay, right now they're doing
they're doing, she's hanging
the laundry on the clothesline. She's hanging all of their fucking
sheets because there's eight of them and there's
so many sets of sheets.
Too many people!
Yeah, so she's like doing laundry
and then all of a sudden it gets
really windy, like the clouds
are rolling in. Well. I think Ed goes back
inside too. She's like by herself
out there. And all the kids and the dad
went to get ice cream
so it's kind of just the three of the
like her, Ed, and then
the mom in the house and the mom was like
feeling kind of shitty
and was like I'm going to lay down because I haven't gotten
any good sleep. Get rest. We'll take care of
everything. And so she's doing a lot. And rest we'll take care of everything and so she's
doing a lot and so the winds blow in
picking up and she's like
yanking the sheets off
putting them in the basket
and then one
white sheet fucking blows off
and gets caught
on like
a human form
that we never saw it's one of the coolest human form that we never saw.
It's one of the coolest scares ever.
And it stays there for like
a couple seconds.
And then shoots off
and then blows away.
It shoots up against
the window of
the mom's room.
And then it shoots away
from there and there's fucking
nasty demon
in pajama lady
standing in the window
and then just slowly like
she baths and then just
slowly turns to her left and like walks
on and Lorraine
is just like oh god no
and she like
Caroline like
trying to get to her
and then we cut to the what's going on with caroline and she's in bed and oh oh that's
when we get the like fingerprint bruises appearing on her arm um like she's being
squeezed on her arm and then she shoots up like screaming. Like her mouth open
and then we get this very spooky
shot of the demon
coming into frame
like floating above her
and she's
disgusting and horrible looking.
And then she like pukes blood
into her something.
It looks like she's like projectile
vomiting blood into
Caroline's mouth. Into her mouth.
Oh no.
And so then like Lorraine is running
up banging like Caroline hey
what's going on what's going on and like
banging on the door can't get in and she
or does get in and Caroline's
in the bathroom and she hears her just like
like puking or retching
whatever and she's like hey hey what puking or retching whatever and
she's like hey hey what's going on
and then finally goes to a
different door and Caroline
opens it up
looks fucking nuts
I'm fine like
I joke about that all the time
she's like I'm fine
there's no demon in me
wait what nobody asked you I'm fine I There's no demon in me. Wait, what? Nobody asked you.
I am fine.
I'm just being like, she looks like she got nailed by a demon.
Yeah.
She looks crazy and like comes out of the bathroom.
She's like, I'm just, I wasn't, I just am not feeling very well.
And I kind of want to be like Lorraine.
You saw the TV.
Yeah.
We should, we should have been aware.
So Lorraine doesn't notice? She believes her?
She looks a little suspicious,
but is also like,
okay, I guess nobody got hurt.
And then I think it goes
to that night, and
the cop
hears something.
Oh, yeah. This is the part where I was
closing my eyes a little bit.
Okay, okay. You're honest. oh yeah this is a part where i was closing my eyes a little a little bit okay okay honest
like if you start with just like a classic is that a door opening banging or some some sort of
noise and he's moving down the hall and oh it's the thing where he's looking out the window at
nighttime and so you can't see anything that's out there. It's just black and I'm always like something smashing through that window.
Yes!
I was very scared and
he goes outside. There's like
a creepy porch swing.
Oh nasty.
Nasty. It's all very slow
and tense and creepy and
he
nothing's out there and he comes back
in and there's a maid and she's like showing her
wrist yes i've been cut and so then he walks in and is like hello like who's there so yeah so she
jumps out and is her wrists are slit and she's like chasing at him screaming look what she
made me do look what she
made me do and then
he is freaking out yeah
and then all of the family hears that
and runs in he's like I saw like a
woman she was in a maid's outfit
like oh and then
so they have their like
camera
tripwires and so they're all in the like kitchen area
And a camera goes off
And it's so loud as hell
It's like the bulb
Flash and you see the kid
The sleepwalking daughter
Walking by
Nasty nightgowns
Guys we're wearing shorts and t-shirts
These flowing nightgowns We cannot have in our house anymore.
They're too creepy.
We need to start a clothing line called Nasty Nightgowns.
Nasty nighties.
Ew.
But so Ed and Lorraine immediately like start following and they're like, look on the camera,
look on the camera, like see or the audio or whatever.
And the parents are like, what are you talking about?
Like, that's Cindy.
She just she sleeps.
She sleepwalks.
And they were like, she's not what triggered it.
It was before her.
She's with someone.
And they're like, something's with her.
And they're like watching her as she gets to the top.
Go into the fucking
room with the wardrobe
and as
soon as she gets in boom the door
slams and that's when everybody
runs up they can't get into the door
the dude is listening
and he hears like
can I show you like a little
spooky ghost voice going like
I want to show you something or something like that
yeah yeah yeah yeah
want to see something something like that
follow me
something awful
and then I think they eventually break the door
open and
she's nowhere to be found
oh she's nowhere that's right
she's nowhere to be found
it's ice cold like Like, now you can
see their breath in this room.
And the dad's like, where is she?
Where is she, Ed? Where is she?
And he's like, I don't know. And they're like,
get me the UV light because that will
show where the footsteps went.
And they go into the closet.
And they go into the fucking wardrobe.
No. And so he, like,
opens it up and with the UV light
sees a bunch of handprints
on like a panel
in the wardrobe and so he's like turn the
lights on and they open it up and
there's a fucking hole in the wall
there's like a false back and a little
like hide hide away
behind the wardrobe
and sleepwalker
Cindy is like curled up asleep in a nasty
nightgown it's horrifying yeah but she's alive she's alive she's totally fine didn't even really
know what happened she's sleeping um they get her out and then april is like oh that's
where rory goes to hide when he gets scared
Emily's
looking really upset isn't that
fucking gross so then
Lorraine's like give me your
music box she goes into the
little crawl space yeah she has the music
box and finds
the place like um
there's like a clear spot amongst
a bunch of dust and other toys
that clearly the music box
fits into so it's like ew
Lori gave that to the little girl
early on nasty
yuck yuck yuck
she finds a rope
she finds like a yeah she's pulling up
it's a fucking noose
and she's like uh okay okay
and then she
falls through the wood
and goes through the
walls into the basement, right?
Down, falling all the way down
into the basement. And they're
like, Ed doesn't know
where she went. And so he's like
running around like banging on the walls.
She's screaming. And he's like,
Lorraine, Lorraine. Yes. And she's like down in the walls she's screaming and he's like all right lorraine yes and um
she's like down in the dark in the basement like terrified with the music box i feel she must hear
crying or something right yeah maybe she hears some crying pops open the music box being like
okay i'll be able to see what's going on yeah nastyasty, nasty. She's looking around. She's looking around and
holy shit, she sees this
woman. Big
woman holding a
dead kid. Rory.
Rory. Oh no. Our boy
Rory. With a bloody knife.
Yes. And she says
look what she made me
do. And this
is all in through the mirror
behind her.
And then the music like stops
and she closes
the music box and that lady's right there
going, look what she made
me do. And it's so
fucking scary.
So then Lorraine freaks out
and then hears like
that creaking of the
rope in the tree.
Like somebody's hanging and like
puts her flashlight up and sees the
nasty witch feet.
And kind of swaying
kind of swaying at first.
And then they stop moving completely.
Like the swaying stops
and fucking turn
towards her.
And then like the swain stops and fucking turn towards her and then fucking go flying at her and i think she then figures out oh fuck i'm in the basement i can run up and get the fuck out of here yeah and
so she runs up and like everyone's freak commotion commotion in the living room yes um everyone's
freaking out and all the fucking crosses start
falling all the crosses fall off the shelves and um i think christine is like nancy and her hair
starts like a piece of her hair starts lifting off of her head and then she is just pulled thrown through the air
smashes into like the
the wall and bookshelf
and is then being dragged
across the house. And like everybody's trying
to get her and she keeps just getting pulled
away from people
and then finally
finally Vera gets some
big old scissors and is just like
yeah cuts her hair and they look over and the some big old scissors and is just like Yeah, cuts her hair.
Cuts her hair and they look over
and the dude was filming it and they're like,
did you get that? He's like, I got it.
I think we've got some
proof. Time for an exorcism, baby.
Time for an exorcism. And then I think
it's a cut to them all
leaving the house, like everybody
getting out of there. Oh, first
Lorraine is like out at the waterfront again
and she sees her daughter in the water.
And it's terrifying.
And it's really spooky.
It's really spooky.
And she like, it tries to like grab her and then it disappears.
Oh yeah, and when she was in the basement real quick,
something was trying to hold her back by grabbing her necklace
that her daughter gave her
and it ripped off.
So now the demon knows what her
daughter is. There it is.
There it is.
Yep. Yep.
So it's got the necklace and she says
to Ed it's a warning.
Something is going to happen.
And then yeah they're all like let's get out of the house. Stay in a warning. Something is going to happen. We gotta go. And then, yeah, they're all like,
let's get out of the house, stay in a
motel for now.
Because we have to perform an exorcism.
Yes. This is too nuts.
So they all kind of go their own ways. Family hotel
and their helpers are
with them. And then Ed and Lorraine
go to talk to a priest.
To talk to a priest. And they're showing
the evidence and they're like, this is the craziest case we've ever seen.
And the priest is like, yeah, this is
pretty crazy and I'll
essentially put a rush order on it.
Yeah, to the Pope.
Rush order to the Pope.
I'll get the Pope. I'll hit him up.
Then we get a Judy.
Yes.
Ed and Lorraine are on their way home.
Driving home. But then but then yeah Judy's
asleep in bed
I think she gets the foot
I think she gets a foot situation
and before that her necklace
is hanging right next to her bed
and it starts fucking moving
and then boom foot pole
and she's like what the what is this
yeah and she gets up and is like walking around like
mom dad like grandma Nana's asleep and she's like what the what is this yeah and she gets up and is like walking around like mom dad
grandma Nana's asleep
yeah she's like kind of snooping around
like just kind of like dad
something has to be going on
and um
she makes her way down a very creepy
hallway she goes into the
conduit room
the door is open I think
she just opened it.
And the Annabelle doll
is missing. It's not in its
locked glass. Annabelle's gone and so she's like,
what's going on?
Starts to make her way up
back through the hallway, which is like stairs
and then a hallway. And
oh, this is really cool.
It just starts like
the big noise starts happening and
then just this
darkness comes down
and she starts freaking out
and she runs to a room at the end of the hall
and slams the door and she's in there
she's in like an office or whatever
an office yeah
fucking A there's a
rocking chair
rocking back and forth. She hears the old
creaking. And guess who's
brushing Annabelle's
hair? Shebeth!
Whatever the fucking witch's
name is.
She's rocking and brushing her hair.
Yes, yes, yes. And Annabelle's
head does the old
exorcist 360
turns to look at her
And Judy's freaking out
Screaming slamming the door
Lorraine gets like a vibe
And she's like Ed something's wrong we have
To go fast get home fast
It's like raining and scary to drive
In Nana wakes up
She's like Judy
She can't get the door open
So they're just
Judy's a funny name to have to
scream. Judy! Judy!
Judy! Judy!
Judy!
So Nana's trying, Ed and Lorraine
fucking pull up and she's like we got something
is wrong. I think they just run in and
run down to the door and Nana can't open
it and so they run in and they're like
I think he like kicks it in. He's trying to break it down. He's like get away from the door and Nana can't open it and so they run in and they're like I think he like kicks it in
he's trying to break it down he's like get away from the door
and like as this is happening the rocking
chair is like swiveling
on its own to like face
Judy and then as
he like busts the door down
the rocking chair like flies
at him or at the
door and like shatters and he
like covers Judy and protects her from it and it's
just like just crazy
and she was like
I saw Annabelle
and they're like what the fuck
and so Ed goes down to that
conduit room and Annabelle
is in the case
yep
but this shit just got personal so now
they're really like we gotta fucking
we gotta do this exorcism we gotta do this exorcism they get a call yes from roger being
like hey my wife left and took the two took the youngest kid and uh christine it's um uh april
and christine and she's got the two youngest and it has this very creepy shot of like her in the
front seat of the car and them in the back seat
and they like look scared and she's
kind of like blank faced and they're like
where are we going mommy and she's
like we're going back to the house.
Something that
Lorraine has figured out at this
time that she like yells
is she possesses the mother to kill
the child. She possesses because mother to kill the child she possesses
because she saw
in the basement
in the basement she saw the mother
she's going to kill
those kids yeah
and so they all rush to the
house but the cop
and that other dude are there
and the husband are all there
and they're in the fucking basement.
And she's got scissors.
And she's like holding them up to Christine's neck.
As like little April's watching.
Right.
And they're like holding her back.
It's just commotion and craziness.
And she's just like.
Like full on.
She Beth is in her.
Like she looks nuts.
Yeah.
And they're like trying to get her away
eyes bulging yeah she looks crazy
she's so good too
she's so good
and so they finally rip
her away from the girl and they're like
they take Christine who was like right
there with scissors in her neck and Drew
is like stay in the car
I gotta go find April
because he couldn't find the youngest one.
And I think Ed is like, I'm going to have to perform the exorcism because this is an emergency and we don't have time to wait for this.
The Vatican's approval.
Yeah.
He's like, even though I'm not ordained.
I'm not ordained.
I can do this.
And so they're like, OK, let's do this.
Exorcism.
And so they're like, OK, let's do this exorcism.
And they kind of like wrangle Carolyn into a chair and like strap her down.
And they throw a sheet over her to help.
Yeah, it's so nasty.
And so they strap her down in this chair.
And it's just crazy. Like the sound is like everything's loud.
She's screaming.
Everything's shaking.
Everything's shaking.
It's just craziness.
He starts reading stuff and throwing holy water on her.
And it's like, ow, stings her or whatever.
Starts speaking in Latin or whatever.
And she has a crazy voice, like crazy she-beth voice.
Like, uh.
Oh, and as this is happening, the other dude is looking for April, the little girl.
And he's like running all over as birds are flying in the house.
He's like, April, where are you?
He then hears crying.
In like the floorboards.
In the floorboards in the kitchen. So he starts bashing it in, bashing it in.
And then back to the exorcism.
Carolyn starts like vomiting blood into the sheet.
So the sheet is just starting to get red and nasty.
And then it gets quiet.
It gets silent.
Completely silent.
And they're all just kind of like, what do we...
That's also very scary.
Did we do it?
And she's just sitting there,
and there's a long shot on just her feet
and the legs of the chair,
and then it slowly starts rising.
She starts floating.
And she starts fucking floating.
I'm getting chills.
It's a really horrifying vision.
And so she's like floating.
And then she turns upside down.
Yes.
And they're like yelling like, let her go, let her go, let her go.
And then it falls.
It falls and she drops.
And so the chair like smashes.
So she's free yeah and like stuff starts like intentionally trying to kill people like so a big oh the bookshelf bookshelf
almost takes out ed a fucking shotgun like oh my god i forgot the shotgun cocks itself and then
like falls and shoots towards them yes yes. Yes. She's like laughing.
It's like, ah, yeah.
Drew has found the kid and is like, hey, she's in the floorboards or like in the crawlspace
underneath.
Oh, right.
He like announces it and she hears it and she hears that and fucking breaks away.
But she grabs the scissors.
She grabs the scissors and scurries into the wall and she
just goes and other people are like following
her and so then she gets
to like little April nobody's been able
to like get her out yet because it's like
just such a small crawl space and she's
able to make her way in
and she has like the
kind of us looking scissors
yeah yeah yeah and she's like
trying to stab him and everybody's like,
like Ed's saying stuff from the Bible
and also like to the husband being like,
remind her who she is.
Like she hasn't been taken or whatever.
And Lorraine's like grabbing her head.
And Lorraine is above in the kitchen,
like looking down at her
and putting her hand on her forehead
and being like, remember who
you are.
Essentially, she had they had looked at a photo earlier of them all, like the whole
family on the beach.
And she's like, remember that day on the beach?
Like, remember?
And you see like Carolyn, like having like flashbacks, struggling and freaking out and
like, no, but yes, I don't know.
And like, these are your fate.
Like you live for these kids
all this stuff. Yeah. And she's like
struggling really hard. I think they
like say something like there's only
so much we can do like she has
to fight this battle
internally. And there's like
really nice music.
And so there's like
a moment where you see her kind of
become herself again. Yeah. she's had a crazy demon
face this whole time. Screaming
and then puking
out that demon. Oh
right she pukes. Yeah. She pukes
out the demon. Like just black stuff
where she's just like
get it out of her
and then it kind of still looks weird
and they're still in the crawl space. They're still in the crawl space
yeah and like April witnessed all of that. I was gonna say and then it kind of still looks weird and they're still in the crawl space they're still in the crawl space yeah and like April
witnessed all of it I was gonna say and then she turns
to like tiny scared little
April and is like I'm so sorry
she's like I'm sorry I'm sorry
she's like dude April's gonna need a lot of
therapy if I was April and
Christine I would constantly be like
I'm not doing my homework remember that time
you tried to fucking kill me
what time is curfew
um mom i think i'll make the curve i think i can handle myself
but you're just so like i'm so sorry so then um it shows them like her in a blanket
the kids all hugging and stuff and And then we see Ed and Lorraine
like hugging
and being like
we did it. Yeah, I think they helped them.

Goodbye.
Wow.
We made it through October, a very spooky month. And this is Sammy, by the way. And we
didn't talk about it, but The Conjuring is my personal scariest movie. I guess you could tell
that I was pretty scared, but forcing myself to watch it again and then talk about it with
Betsy did kind of take the edge off it a bit. And I feel a little less scared of it now. So that's cool.
