In 1971, the Perron family moved into a rambling farmhouse in rural Rhode Island. They immediately sensed a supernatural presence and, after months of torment, contacted Ed and Lorraine Warren. Their story remains one of the scariest accounts of a real life haunting while inspiring the opening chapter of one of horror’s most successful franchises. Jenn and Joe tackle the true story of the Perron haunting and James Wan’s cinematic adaptation.
Discussions include: witches, mother, and a demon doll.
