If you’re looking for traditional yet cleverly crafted jumpscares, the first movie in The Conjuring series will prove more than effective.<\/p>\n
We’re not being very original here, since this movie is as famous as it gets in today’s horror genre (alongside other sagas like Saw<\/a> or Halloween<\/a>), but that doesn’t mean it’s not a perfect option for a scary evening among friends.<\/p>\n The Conjuring follows Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga), a couple of demonologists dedicated to solving supernatural mysteries. In 1970, the Warrens decide to investigate a case involving an isolated farmhouse with a dark past.<\/p>\n Director James Wan is a master of modern Hollywood horror, and he proves it with some terrifying sequences in this movie, particularly one which involves playing hide-and-seek.<\/p>\n Another good thing about The Conjuring is that you can turn it into a marathon, as the series is almost like a horror version of the MCU<\/a>, including spin-offs like Annabelle’s trilogy and two prequels about demon nun Valak<\/a>.<\/p>\n Watch now: Prime Video<\/a> | Sky Cinema<\/a> | Netflix<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you’re looking for traditional yet cleverly crafted jumpscares, the first movie in The Conjuring series will prove…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":818894,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[148341,379,268705,6637,96,2788,190731,1156,2839,268704,223205,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-818893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-collection-digital-spy-features","tag-content-type-news","tag-contentid-368228be-e5ac-477b-a5ef-789b0792b428","tag-displaytype-listicle","tag-entertainment","tag-hasproduct-true","tag-issyndicated-false","tag-locale-gb","tag-movies","tag-shorttitle-12-scariest-horror-movies-to-watch-at-halloween","tag-sponsored-false","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/818894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=818893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=818893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
