The Real-Life Story Behind ‘The Conjuring 3’ Might Be The Strangest Yet – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Horror movies are perfect for many occasions. Whether its Halloween time and you want to get into the spooky spirit, or its just a weeknight, and you want something to go with your pizza. One of the biggest horror movie franchises,The Conjuringuniverse, is now coming out with another film that you can enjoy under the safety of a blanket.The Conjuring 3s title and synopsis were just released at the Brazilian convention, CCXP, and the real-life story will make your head spin more than Regan MacNeils.

Over the weekend, Warner Bros. made several announcements and released clips of upcoming filmsScoobandIn The Heights. A highlight was footage fromThe Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, the third installment of the mega-popular film. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson have been in the roles of Lorraine and Ed Warren since 2013. Since then, theyve been in the original three films, along with spin-offsThe NunandAnnabelle Comes Home.

As Deadline reports, this film is aboutthe real-life case of Arne Cheyenne Johnson. Michael Chaves, director forThe Curse of La Llorona,will direct.Its the first time one of the coreConjuringmovies will be led by someone other than James Wan, wholl be a producer on this film.

The story has an accurate title. It involves the first murder case in America, where the defendant pled not guilty to a crime using the defense of demonic possession. Deadline reports that Johnson claimed a demon that was in the body of 11-year-old David Glatzel came into Johnsons body and urged him to kill his landlord, Alan Bono. The Warrens had already looked at Glatzels possession case, which is why theyre a part of Johnsons story.

People magazine reported that Johnson urged andtaunted the demon inside of David Glatzelto take him instead. Which, if youre a believer, thats what happened. Johnson was engaged to Davids older sister at the time, which is why he was witness to his exorcism and subsequently possessed.

Warner Bros. also released footage of this third movie to CCXP audiences, and it involved a morgue (of course). Lorraine is trying to read a dead body, but cant, and then the lab exhibits typical haunted aspects (flickering lights, scary atmosphere, etc.).

In an interview Wilson did with The Hollywood Reporter in November, he said that longtime fans of the franchise should expect something new from this sequel. Its a much different feel, Wilson said. Its still the same bones; itsstill very much Ed and Lorraine. Again, we are pushing our characters to places they havent gone, but the film will be a really nice addition because its definitely a different beast. Pun intended.

He said that he enjoyed making cameos in the spin-offs, but that the flagship movies are exciting. Theres a different weight to those movies just in scope alone, budget, time to shoot it, and all that stuff, he said. Its got great producers, and honestly, a super happy and supportive studio. So its a lot of positivity even though youre dealing with a lot of negative demons. I cant wait.

If youre into courtroom dramas or horror (especially both),The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do itis right up your spooky alley.
