Continuity mistake: When looking at the dog from the bedroom window, there are 2 windows in the room facing the dog. When we see the window from outside only 1 window is lit up, despite both being in the same room. (00:11:30)
The Conjuring (2013)
Directed by: James Wan
Starring: Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Lili Taylor, Ron Livingston
Factual error: The moving truck that transports the Perron family's belongings didn't exist in 1971. It is a 1973 model or newer.
Visible crew/equipment: When they are performing the exorcism at the end, there is often a white marker by the rear right (viewer left) chair leg.
Trivia: The "Annabelle" doll seen in the opening sequence of the film was actually a regular "Raggedy Ann" doll in the real-life story that inspired the scene. The doll was redesigned to its current, much more grotesque form for several reasons: First, to make it more cinematic. And second, to avoid legal troubles with the copyright holders on Raggedy Ann. The filmmakers and Lorraine Warren also stated that they were interested in re-designing the Annabelle doll because they were afraid if they used a real Raggedy Ann doll, it would frighten children who might own them.
Trivia: The film is loosely inspired by a real-life paranormal investigation by investigators Edd and Lorraine Warren, though new elements were added to the story in order to make it more cinematic.
Ed Warren: The devil exists. God exists. And for us, as people, our very destiny hinges on which we decide to follow.
Ed Warren: We've been called ghost hunters. Paranormal researchers. Wackos.
Lorraine Warren: But we prefer to be known simply as Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Lorraine Warren: You have a lot of spirits in here, but there is one I'm most worried about because it is so hateful.
Question: What did Lorraine Warren see during the footage where they participated in an exorcism of a farmer? She stared into his eyes and screamed, then they mentioned that she locked herself in her room for several days, and that it affected her badly. Has that ever been explained?
Answer: Ed's death.
Question: What's the background story about the demon women? How did it all start?
Answer: She was a witch that committed suicide. Before, she cursed everyone who set foot on her property.
Answer: She was a person of interest in the Salem Witch Trials. Before hanging herself, she put a curse on her land that basically is that if you are a parent, you will sacrifice your child and then kill yourself. She did this, sacrificing her seven day old baby then killing herself.
Question: It's made clear at the beginning of the film that a demonic force is something that has never walked the earth in human form. Yet The Witch did walk the Earth in human form, but still has all the powers of a demon and Lorraine even calls it a "demonic presence." So can humans become demons when they die or did I miss something?
