The Conjuring 3 (2020) - Plot, Cast, Trailer, And Release Date - EVERYTHING You Need To Know

We live in uncertain times.

Will Trump be impeached?

Will Boris Johnson win his electoral majority?

Will Brexit actually happen?

As we draw closer to 2020, it is safe to say that we do indeed live in uncertain times. Yet, amongst the confusion and complexity that politics has spat out at the world, there is one thing for sure:

The Conjuring 3 is going to hit theatres on September 11th 2020.

And alas, the uncertainty commences once again.

What’s it going to be about?

Who’s been cast?

When’s the trailer going to be released?

Well that’s why I’m here, Boo. I’ve compiled EVERYTHING you need to know about the 8th instalment in one of the biggest cinematic universes to date.

Today’s post is going to cover what’s been officially confirmed, the rumours swirling regarding this film, the possible plots, and the release date for the teaser trailer and official trailer release.

Settle in folks…

And let’s get spooky.

What Do We Already Know About The Conjuring 3?

As will all films, small scraps of plotlines, cast lists, and release dates have been left tangled up on the internet for us obsessives to unravel.

We know The Conjuring 3 is coming out on September 11th 2020.

We know that filming began in June and took place in Georgia.

And we know that - as with all of the Conjuring’s cinematic universe - this film is once again based on one of the real life paranormal investigations conducted by Ed and Lorraine Warren.

However, we do not know the exact investigation in question. Occasional whispers on the internet and the odd quote from those working on the film have given us hints to two possible plotlines: a werewolf, and a murder which cited possession as a defence.

The cast list also gives us greater insight into a possible plot!

(And by insight I mean there is very little to make guesswork of.)

Once again Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmigo return to the screen as your favourite paranormal dream team, and are joined by a variety of new faces:

A younger Ed and Lorraine feature in this flick, suggesting a flashback to a previous case or perhaps a more personal reflection takes centre stage of this film.

Acting alongside them is a plethora of characters engaged in law enforcement: prison guards, inmates, judges… All of which point to a murder case which will be discussed later on in this post.

One the other hand, 2 witches are also cited in the cast list. This instead points to the former rumoured plot that will too be explored in this post.

And finally, we know that James Wan will not be directing this flick.

The mastermind behind The Conjuring’s saga will instead help produce it, and the writer of Orphan and The Conjuring 2 will co-write the latest instalment.

What Is The Plot Of The Conjuring 3?

In case you can’t read (if so how in the hell have you been reading this post), there are 2 rumours behind the plot of The Conjuring 3.

But Boo, you know I got you.

I’m going to take you through every single rumour, and then explain the real paranormal backstories to the cases.

Vera Farmigo was the first to ignite the rumours running since The Conjuring 2 hit theatres: she mentioned the third film will revolve around a werewolf.

She then followed up this statement by saying that this concept may have been cancelled; nevertheless, the story behind this is worthy of a 2 hour movie bullet holed with jumpscares.

This is the story of the Southend Werewolf.

Just like the original Conjuring film, the story starts with an object found in the Warren’s house. Indeed, it is a book they wrote themselves - Werewolf: A Tale of Demonic Possession.

It starts in 1952.

A 9 year old boy, William Ramsay, suddenly felt an icy shiver take over his body, a smell like rotting meat float around him, and an aggression overcome his mind. He was shivering, he was growling, he was intune to his senses.

He had - or so he claimed - become a werewolf.

He then finished up his transformation by ripping a fencepost out of his garden.

Super-human strong was often reported whenever this would overcome him, confirming that all these signs bear a similarity to cases of demonic possession.

Other events of turning into a werewolf bear similar resemblance, including him attempting to attack and kidnap a prostitute and biting doctors attempting to restrain him. After every event, Ramsay would fail to remember the attacks.

He even checked himself into a mental hospital in an attempt to get to the bottom of his affliction in the 1980s.

They found no explanation for these events.

And it was following these similar cases of him ‘turning’ - including one that involved the police and splashed his story across the papers - that the Warrens decided to pay him a visit whilst in London.

They deduced that this was a Demon Animal Spirit. Having been suspicious of his claims prior to their investigation, they then claimed an exorcism was required.

So, Ramsay was flown out to the USA, and an exorcism performed by Bishop McKenna occurred.

At first, the exorcism did fuck all. But it was only when the bishop touched his forward and asked the demon to reveal itself that Ramsay once again began to turn.

That was the final time that Ramsay ever became a werewolf.

And so the book was written and this chapter of his life was closed.

Oh, and at the end of Annabelle Comes Home, a werewolf like demon appears. And given The Conjuring’s love for a closely tied cinematic universe, perhaps this doggo will be returning to a theatre near you...

The next story is The Trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson

This was the first case in US history from which demonic possession was used a defence in a murder trial.

James Wan actually confirmed that this was the centre of the movie’s plot - but a twist is never too far up The Conjuring’s writers’ sleeves…

The story starts with the Johnson family clearing out a house they had just rented.

David - then 12 years old - claimed an old man appeared, and would physically push him and attempt to scare him in a beast-like form whilst he was not muttering Latin.

The old man also vowed to harm the family and steal David’s soul is they stayed.

So, just like my second year uni flat?

Alongside noises in the attic, David’s frequent night terrors, scratches and bruises on David’s body were strange behaviours which was deduced as paranormal activity.

So, a catholic priest was called and the house blessed.

Unfortunately, this provoked the activity to then worsen.

And so they gave the Warrens a ring and waited for their verdict.

Lorraine immediately noted a black mist by David - and if that doesn’t tell you its demonic, I don’t know what will. Invisible hands beating David were also cited by family members, as well as growls, hisses, and him reciting the bible and excerpts from Paradise Lost.

Convulsions in the night, spasms as he slept… It bears a striking similarity to The Exorcist!

Following 3 exorcisms, David went through phases of levitation, not breathing, and even demonstrated a newfound ability to predict the future. Indeed, he predicted the murder that would be at the centre of this story.

Due to the danger David was reportedly in, Arne - his father - asked the demon to possess him, instead.

The demon agreed.

Having taken control of his car and causing him to collide with a tree, they then met once again in the rental property. Once making eye contact with the demon - something that was warned against by the Warrens - he was fully possessed.

Fit with behaviour similar to that of a possessed David, he would fall into trances, growling and hallucinating. Once they were over, he would forget they occurred.

It is here that we must note the reflection of this story in The Southend Werewolf.

(Yes, I wrote ‘airport’ first instead of werewolf.)

This would build up towards the murder of their landlord, Alan Bono. The murder that was supposedly caused by the demonic possession is a simple and short story - not to ignore the sheer brutality of it, that is.

A 9 year old relative of Arne’s had essentially been held captive by Alan Bono whilst he was heavily drunk. Johnson in an attempt to save her stabbed Bono repeatedly with a pocket knife.

Not only did he growl throughout the attack, the 5 stab wounds were so graphic that one even stretched from his stomach to the base of his heart.

Only 24 hours later, Lorraine Warren informed the police that Johnson had been possessed throughout the event, and made the initial claims that it was the demon that caused the murder.

Arne’s legal team focused on the possible paranormal influences, attempting to involve lawyers who had fought in similar cases in the UK, and even planned to fly in exorcism specialists to encourage a not-guilty result.

They then threatened subpoenas to the priests who carried out the exorcisms is they didn’t serve to defend him.

Yet despite the attempts to clear his name, the jury didn’t accept his claims.

He was sentenced to a maximum of 20 years, and only served 5.

This will not be the first time that this case has been replayed on a cinematic level.

What Other Cases Of The Warrens Could It Be Based On?

If there’s one thing that Mean Girls taught me, it’s that rumours should always be taken with a grain of salt.

(Oh, and that I’m a mouse, duh!)

That’s why I’ve decided to consider the other possible cases that could position themselves as the plot-line.

And no, I won’t be including the other cases that have featured in previous instalments of this series, such as Annabelle the haunted doll, nor the Perron family farmhouse, or even the Enfield Haunting.

1. The Amityville Haunting

Not only did it feature in the beginning of the second Conjuring, it’s had enough documentation in the media. From documentaries, to horror films, to Ryan Reynolds…

God, just let it die.

By anyway: the story goes that in 1974 a man shot every single member of his family, murdering them in cold blood.

Once a new family had been moved in, they began to witness paranormal activity, suggesting the former residents - including the murderer - had been led to this violent end. So, could supernatural forces be behind the murders?

2. The Snedecker House

In 1986 a family moved into a house that was previously a crematorium. From personality changes in their son, to sexual attacks and apparitions, the Warrens concluded that this house was haunted.

In fact, they even deemed the house possessed!

However, it was discovered that the son - who was at the centre of the activity - was diagnosed with schizophrenia. And so, bound by conflicting stories and a hostile familial atmosphere, the story was sensationalised to a high degree. Claims of debunking stick close to this case.

3. The Smurl Haunting

A lesser known example of paranormal - or rather, demonic activity - the Smurls was also a family who were tormented by otherworldly forces.

Sexual assault, shaking mattresses, people being pushed down the stairs, loud noises, bad smells and family pets being through against the wall…

Lord, it’s a messy one.

That is until the Warrens rock up! Wait, it gets worse?

Writing on mirrors telling them to get out, dark masses appearing, knocking and rapping caught on audiotape - this demon was busy.

When’s The Trailer Going To Be Released?

I hate maths.

I hate using a calculator, I hate using excel, and I hate having to add up my grocery bill in my head and consequently praying if I can afford it.

I need to budget goat’s cheese in my bank balance, okay, do you know the struggle?

But I’m gon’ be getting some good karma tonight.

I’ve done the maths, Boo. I know when the teaser trailer is coming out. And I know when the official trailer is coming out.

I not only deduced the average industry-wide gap between trailer and theatrical release, I worked out the average gap for the Conjuring’s universe.

Pull out your calendars, lads! It’s time to schedule your life around these key dates:

The teaser trailer is out in early march.

And the official trailer will hit YouTube May 8th 2020.

Nancy Drew: The Lady of Larkspur Lane AKA None of this is a Good Plan Guys

So I fell really behind in the show (and every show) with the start of the semester, but I have finally caught up, and am right back on my bullshit.

Commentary time! With many ellipses tonight

What was that smashing on the ground? Hopefully not something important/that will come back to haunt us (possibly literally) later…

In every universe Nancy’s fashion sense is questionable. Wear the Horse Shirt and Mom Jeans Bess!

Bess and Ace’s relationship is so wholesome and I love it

Is she really okay with it though?

I hate that this episode is a spooky mental hospital episode because it’s going to be tropey and that has a high likelihood of possible ableism…

Mmm. Don’t like you Amaya. Bess is more than a pretty face and deserves to be treated with respect. Fight me.

Oh no. If Carson dies…

I mean it would be easy to cover up. Prominent lawyer. Small town/local prison. Plenty of disgruntled clients and opponents. Of course, Mrs. Hudson didn’t sound interested in keeping her involvement secret, but if she did want to…

All our hope is on you Ace. Hey. Stop rambling and panicking darling, you’ve got this. Probably.

Why are you not driving your beloved truck?

She is about to be locked into that file room I swear…

Suspicious, sudden, aggressive mold

Oh, ok, I guess I was wrong, but that’s ghost footsteps if I’ve ever heard them

I mean she looks nothing like your “runner” from earlier but sure

Oh are they going to try and put her in a room as a patient…is that what they mean by runner? God kill me now.

How is that cover working?

Of course there’s a haunting and she’s talking the one person who super believes in it

Damn son, the sass

How convenient that Ryan and Bess are having lunch only a table or so apart (love her face as Ace goes by)

Straight to the point. Alrighty. Maybe learn just a little subtlety when discussing hits on people…?

That was interesting emphasis. Your father wouldn’t, but you don’t deny that someone might have.

Ace, I’d say don’t ruin this for Bess, but that woman’s initial attitude and apparent ignoring her the entire lunch made me kind of want it ruined – but what do you think Bess can achieve here that you can’t?

Why does this orderly remind me of George Salazaar and why is that deeply unsettling?

Welp, it’s not sealed off anymore. Once again, nice job breaking it Drew.

So much sass. First Ace, now Bess. My favs are really bringing it

Tall jar of mayonnaise? Really?

No, Bess, don’t just spill everything to this stranger. That’s a terrible plan.

I find it highly suspicious that now that it looks like she’s connected to the Hudson and or/shady dealings, you’re suddenly interested

I repeat, don’t hurt Papa Drew…oh thank god! A transfer to State is the best worst thing that could happen

That doesn’t look like an official transfer vehicle…is this a fakeout and now the hit’s going to happen? Easier to fake a death in a traffic accident (round 2)

Ace! Are you perpetrating a prison break you wonderful, disaster of a human?! I love you!

It sounds bad when you put it that way Carson…

More sass, this time about your laundry list of Crimes!

Noble dumbass

That is the vaguest plan I’ve ever heard of

That is the first place they’ll look for him…oy…

George is unimpressed. I am just glad that question didn’t go where I feared it might

Archery and Axes are not the same thing, trust me

Why do you have a massive axe in your house anyway, Carson?

That shot was entirely for the audience to see how well-built Ace is, wasn’t it? Not that I’m complaining…

Oh this is interesting…I’m a little surprised how easy that was.

Why does Mrs. Dodd know what Kate’s necklace looked like to the point of that being how she “recognized” her? That seems like an odd detail

“Other lady”? So not someone she knows. Lucy’s secret? A real key or a metaphorical one?

The Thin Man is another spirit. I’d stake my life on it. But is his book real?

Ace…not…not the right approach. In fact the absolute wrong way of handling probably the worst possible way for this situation to go

I still don’t like you, but you have a point at the immediate moment

I love you Bess, take her down and win her over all at once

You done fucked up Drew. Flickering lights, creepy fast-spreading mold, ball with what looks like blood on it rolling about the hall unprompted. I sense a jumpscare a-comin’

Surprisingly fewer “the ghosts of dead patients gone violent in limbo” than I was expecting, pleasantly so.

Of course Nick-not-Ned knows Bible quotes. Because he has been established as the resident Book NerdTM and therefore knows important quotes from all books ever written

Creepy demon has a Bible? That seems off. Not an evil spirit then? Someone alive?

Of course they did, because the Hudsons and their people are smart

I like this new badass business bitch Bess. Also kinda hot. (better if she goes back to her usual hair though, the poodle is not a good style choice)

Mr. Roper? I think that falls under Names to Run Away from Very Quickly

The Whisper Box? Seriously?

Is that blood on the ball or just a flower? It bugs me that I can’t tell

Nancy! Bad plan.

A life for a life. That’s not a bad negotiation. But if anyone can find a digital footprint, I believe it’s Ace.

Maybe I misjudged you almost as much as you misjudged Bess…

Don’t ignore Lisbeth…L

Well shit. I’m almost concerned for Ryan’s life. I mean he’s still a scummy douche-canoe and has not redeemed himself, but I almost care.

No. No romantic bullshit. Platonic teamwork is fine.

What is so bad about pulling the alarm?

Okay, it’s a flower. Somehow that makes it worse?

A keycard? To what/where? And will it work after so long?

The door disappears. That’s…not good. And that’s a Lot of Bugs

I am deeply unsettled by all of this

Nancy, you need to stop having near death experiences…

Excuse me, what?! That’s the end of the episode?!

So next week we’re going to end up with part 2 in the Sanitarium right? So I can only mark this as “so far so good in terms of ‘not as ableist as you could have been’”?

#Nancy Drew #CW Nancy Drew #Nancy Drew tv show #Nancy Drew 2019 #there was a lot happening this episode #mostly bad decisions #and me on pins and needles waiting for the mental hospital ableist stereotypes #back on my bullshit #semi-liveblogging #onward to whatever the trippy fuck this week will be #edit: he reminds me of George Salaazar because it is him #still deeply unsettling for some reason though

I was tagged by @recoveryat22

1. What are you most grateful for?

Sounds cliche’ but I’m most grateful for my Catholic faith, I really would have fallen apart without it and I’m so much healthier and happier now since I converted.

2. Hardest year of your life thus far?

Probably about 4 years ago. My parents got divorced, my brothers and I drifted apart, my close-knit family imploded, I had to move to a new home faced with the reality of having to solely take care of my chronically ill mother, and I was terrified. I had no idea that I had obsessive compulsive disorder so my anxiety was through the roof and my intrusive thoughts were non stop, I had no idea that the “quirks” I had were actually symptoms of my ocd. It was a very hard time, but I got through it thanks to the Lord drawing me to himself and sending new people in my life that to this day love and support me.

3. Are you spiritual and/or religious?

Yes. Yes I am.

4. Your favorite place to visit?

The aquarium. Any aquarium. Take me there and leave me for the day and I will be a happy camper. Or my local parish because it’s so peaceful and the community is so warm and like family.

5. One unique thing about you…

I know entry level amounts of Korean, Mandarin, and Japanese.

6. Who is someone you admire in your life and why?

My mother. She has had so much suffering in her life yet her heart is so big and she is like the perfect mom. She’s understanding, kind, and so unbelievably generous. When I was younger she took in other kids who’s families had kicked them out and she let them stay with us and treated them like her own children. She also helped my best friend who’s mother was abusing her. She called CPS and made sure that her and her little brother were given under the care of their grandparents.

Everyone loves my mom and I always fill with pride when others tell me that they wish she was their mom. She attracts people to her because she’s such a great matriarch and I’m so blessed to have her in my life. She has taught me so much and I know just how fortunate I am to have had such a loving and great mom.

7. Dog or cat person?

Dog person all the way, I like cats but dogs are just so good and pure. I don’t have to sleep with one eye open wondering if my cat is purposely trying to trip me when I go down the stairs or be wary when I walk down the hallway lest the cat decide to sit like a ninja atop the curtains to lay in wait to give me the worst jumpscare ever.

8. Any odd fears or phobias?

Driving. My OCD ratchets up to 100 when I’m in a car behind the wheel. But I refuse to be beaten and have been working through conquering this fear.

9. Favorite book?

This is so hard because I read so many books. The bible. But as for other works it probably would be either Pride and Prejudice or Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.

10. Favorite quote(s)?

“ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”- 2 Timothy 4:7

“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”-Willie Shakes (Shakespeare)

and “Happiness passes, but so does sadness.”- Falling for Innocence

Questions for you guys:

1. What is one thing you’d like to achieve in 2017?

2. Hot beverage of choice?

3. Favorite youtuber/tumblr/podcast, etc...

4. Do you like crime shows?

5. What is one thing you are looking forward to?

6. What are your thoughts on love?

7. Do you know any cool or funny history stories?

8. Favorite musical or song from a musical?

9. (since most of the people I’m tagging are semi-religious) Is there anyone in your parish that you enjoy seeing when you go to mass?

10. What’s your favorite scent, (e.g. fresh baked bread, new books, dry leaves etc...)

I tag: @thegoodyoumightdo @panickedpaladin @l-o-v-e-y-is-you @daughterofoursavior @courage---dear-heart @restlesscatholic @daughter-of-divine-mercy
