Another 'Conjuring' Spinoff, 'The Crooked Man,' Is Coming to Scare You
Turn on all the lights because there's another "Conjuring" spinoff heading to theaters to scare us all.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, New Line is developing a spinoff based on the Crooked Man, first introduced in "Conjuring 2." The franchise stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as paranormal researchers Ed and Lorraine Warren, who help people whose homes are being haunted by evil spirits.
The tall, thin character is based on a nursery rhyme (There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile," etc.) and was seen in "Conjuring 2" emerging from a wind-up music box.
(A horror movie titled "Crooked Man" came out earlier this year but is not related to the franchise.)
"The Conjuring" has been a successful horror franchise, launching several spinoffs. It started with the prequel "Annabelle," and a follow-up, "Annabelle: Creation" is opening in August. "The Nun," a spinoff about the demonic nun in "Conjuring 2," is set for Friday, July 13, 2018.
