The Conjuring (2013) isn’t just a great horror movie — it’s one of the most perfectly constructed supernatural thrillers of the modern era.

In this Nightshift episode, we break down the scares, the world-building, the filmmaking, and the insane attention to detail that made James Wan’s film a cultural earthquake.

We dive into:

• The Perron family haunting

• Ed & Lorraine Warren’s real-life case files

• James Wan’s mastery of tension and camera work

• Why the scares hit harder than cheap jump scares

• The music, sound design, and pacing that make this movie terrifying

• How The Conjuring launched an entire cinematic universe

• Why this film still holds up over a decade later

• The cast (Farmiga and Wilson going crazy in this)

• And the scenes that STILL get us — no matter how many times we watch

Whether you're a horror fan, a film nerd, or someone who watched this once and vowed “never again,” this movie deserves the spotlight.

Nightshift is clocking in. Hold your rosaries.
