Welcome to another fact vs. film episode where we look at the true story of a haunting and compare it with the “based on a true story” film version. For this one, we’ll tackle another film from the Ed and Lorraine Warren inspired Conjuring universe: the 2021 The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. We'll evaluate the terrifying scenes from the movie compared to eyewitness accounts and the Warrens' own claims. What really happened in that Brookfield, Connecticut household? How much of the story was spiritual warfare, and how much was legal strategy, mental illness, or media frenzy? As always, the real story is more chilling than you'd expect.
