THE CONJURING (2013)—Based on real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, The Conjuring follows the couple as they help a family tormented by a dark presence in their farmhouse. As supernatural events escalate, the Warrens uncover a chilling history tied to witchcraft and possession. With atmospheric direction, eerie set pieces, and strong performances, this modern horror staple revitalized the haunted house genre with old-school scares and a grounded emotional core.
