The Real-Life ‘Conjuring’ House Has Been Purchased in Rhode Island and Will Open to Visitors This Year

Published

James Wan’s The Conjuring was of course based on a real-life case investigated by the real-life Ed and Lorraine Warren, documenting the nightmare endured by the Perron family at their Rhode Island farmhouse in 1971. The house is said to be haunted by the spirit of a woman named Bathsheba Sherman, and the new owners claim it is indeed still haunted.

As reported by Press Herald, Cory and Jennifer Heinzen are the latest owners of the farmhouse that was built in 1736, and they plan on turning the property into a tourist attraction. The previous owner had sued Warner Bros. after the release of The Conjuring brought horror fans onto the property, but the new owners are more than happy to embrace its iconic status.

The site notes, “They hope to fix it up, preserve and tell its history, and open it up to visitors and investigators later this year.”

We had doors opening, footsteps and knocks,” Heinzen told the outlet. “I’ve had a hard time staying there by myself. I don’t have the feeling of anything evil, (but) it’s very busy. You can tell there’s a lot of things going on in the house. I’ve always been fascinated with the Warrens. It’s just like a piece of paranormal history, this house.”

We immediately fell in love with it,” he added. “Eight-and-a-half acres, a river in the back and a pond, it’s so serene down there. Never mind the story behind the house, it’s a beautiful home.”

Would you spend the night at the haunted farmhouse? You may soon have the chance!

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
