The Conjuring (2013): Halloween

October 22, 2018

A modern classic, The Conjuring was released in 2013 and has since created an onslaught of mediocre spin offs and sequels. The original itself however, is very good. The film is inspired by true events, the paranormal investigations of Ed and Lorraine Warren. It follows a family that moves into a new home and begins to experience a violent haunting. They bring in the Warrens to help them, and begin to find that getting rid of the evil in their home will not be easy. The film has a dreary autumnal atmosphere which provides a creepy setting. The acting in the film is well done, especially considering the presence of child actors. The whole film is spooky and absolutely perfect for Halloween. I definitely recommend checking out this film to get yourself scared for Halloween. It doesn't have all that much actual Halloween imagery, but the atmosphere and scares alone will make it perfect for a haunted October night.
