All Of The Films Inspired By Ghost Hunters Ed & Lorraine Warren

Published by FrightFind On June 1, 2024

Ed and Lorraine Warren gained popularity with most people when Hollywood started creating movies based on their real-life cases. These worldwide known ghost investigators had a talent for assisting families who moved into haunted homes. Their journey began in the late 1960s, and over the decades, they worked extensively with haunted houses and families who unfortunately lived in them. Let’s delve into the movies that were inspired by the Warrens’ experiences.

Movies Based On Ed and Lorraine Warren’s Investigations

Amityville Horror

The Amityville Horror is one of the most terrifying films ever made. The film is based on the same book and was released in 1979. The book was based on the haunting experiences of the Lutz family when they moved into the home.

In 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. killed six of his family members in the home on 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. He was eventually convicted of second-degree murder in November 1975. He was sentenced to serve 25 years to life in prison. He died while he was in prison in 2021. Unaware of this story, George and Kathy Lutz moved into the Amityville house in December 1975. The realtor did end up telling them that there were some horrible murders in the home, but that didn’t seem to bother them at all. They felt that it was their dream come true. This house seemed to be a new start for them, and they were ready to raise their family there.

After living there for a very short time, the Lutz family began to experience some unexplainable paranormal events. When they moved into the house, one of George’s friends mentioned that they should get the home blessed by a priest. Neither George nor Kathy were religious, so they didn’t know what that meant.

The Catholic church sent Father Mancuso to their home to bless it. When he went into their home, he felt terrified. He heard a masculine voice telling him to leave the house. He told no one about his visit to the home and allegedly ended up getting very sick with a high fever and blisters after he left the home. The symptoms were much like those of people who claim they have stigmata.

The Real Amityville House

The Lutz family began to experience horrifying paranormal events in their home. Some of the rooms would be swarmed with flies for one second, and then they would vanish. They would also feel a “very strong force” that was trying to push them out of the house. There were stories of green ooze coming out of the walls and the water sometimes turning black in the baths and toilets. Not only this, but the children claimed to see a pig face with red eyes and a demon figure in a white hood. The Lutz family was driven to their breaking point on January 14, 1976. They left everything they owed behind and would never step into the house again.

Ed and Lorraine Warren were called to help the Lutz family with these paranormal events. Lorraine could feel the terrifying spirits in the home, so they did everything they could to help. After being there, the Lutz family wanted nothing else to do with the home.

Rumors have circulated that the Lutz family faked everything to become rich off of this story. Although proof of some of the paranormal events has been found, the Lutz family continues to say that it all happened to them in the Amityville house.

The Haunted

The Haunted was released in 1991, and it was one of the first films to actually use the Warrens as characters. This film didn’t get too much attention when it was released and has practically been forgotten about. It was based on the Smurl family haunting, a case that Ed and Lorraine Warren worked on and spent quite a bit of time on.

Janet Smurl moved into a home in Pittston, Pennsylvania, and felt it was the perfect home for them. It didn’t take long for the family to start encountering paranormal activity. The family would see strange figures walking around their home, and they would hear horrifying sounds at night. Strange stains would also start to show up on the walls of the home.

The Smurl family wasn’t sure how to deal with everything happening in the home. Janet found out about Ed and Lorraine and called them to get some help with these encounters. She felt like someone was trying to push her family out of the home, but she knew they couldn’t leave; they had put everything into this house. The Warrens discovered that there was a lot more going on in the home than anyone ever thought.

The Haunting in Connecticut

Released in 2009, The Haunting in Connecticut, based on the Snedeker House, focused on a family going through a terrible time in their lives. Sara Campbell and her son, Matt, were going through a challenging time in life. Matt, her son, was going through cancer treatments, and she and her husband, Peter, needed to find a home closer to the hospital.

The Real Snedeker House

Sara and Peter were also going through a hard time in their marriage. He was an alcoholic, and she was waiting tables and picking up any odd jobs that she could in order to help her son. As the couple discussed finding a rental home, Sara drove by one and knew it was fate. The homeowner was frustrated that no one wanted to live in it. He offered the family a free month if they would move in quickly. This didn’t strike the family as strange, and they felt that this was supposed to be their home.

The family decides that this is a deal they can’t refuse. They move in, and immediately, paranormal events begin to occur. Matt finds some strange pictures in his room, which is in the basement, and then Peter finds out that the home was a funeral home at some point. Matt begins to see visions in the home, and soon, there are figures in his room, and the more they show up, the closer they get to him.

A Haunting in Connecticut got a lot of backlash. Critics claim that Ed and Lorraine Warren sensationalized this entire story, and none of these events ever happened to the family. The Warrens always stood by their story that all of these events did happen inside this house.

The Conjuring Films

The Conjuring

The Real Conjuring House

The Conjuring franchise solidified Ed and Lorraine Warren’s validity in these paranormal cases. The movies began with the paranormal tales from the Perron family and their haunted house. Many critics claim that the first Conjuring film was fictionalized to add to its horror. This movie was one of the first-ever movies to show the Warrens as heroes to those who called them for help. The franchise has made Ed and Lorraine seem more positive than all the rumors about them in the 1970s and 80s.

The Conjuring 2

The Conjuring 2 featured a family’s home in England. In the 1970s, the family was terrified by a poltergeist. In this film, the Hodgson family experiences a lot of paranormal activity in their home. Interestingly enough, Lorraine actually had a vision during the seance of a demonic nun figure. This ended up being the demon that was haunting the Hodgson family. This was the first film where the demon Valak was introduced into the Conjuring film franchise.

The Real Conjuring 2 House

In the Hodgson home, some of the children began to show signs that they had been possessed. One of the children, Janet, was seen levitating and growling like a demon. The Warrens found out about their story and wanted to know what was happening in this home. They wanted to be able to prove if this possession was a hoax. Lorraine wasn’t sure that she wanted to get involved after seeing visions of Ed being killed there.

The Warrens did come to see the Hodgson’s home and got help from other paranormal experts. The Warrens felt as if the family was lying to become famous, but later found out that Janet was, indeed, possessed by the demon in the home. Ed and Lorraine ended up saving Janet and her family, and they ended up moving away from the home.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is yet another film in The Conjuring franchise in which Ed and Lorraine Warren appear. This movie is about a man who asks a demon to possess him instead of his girlfriend’s child. Ed Warren watches as the man is possessed, and that is when he suffers from a heart attack. Arne Johnson begins to act very strangely after being possessed.

Arne ended up killing his landlord after he stabbed him 22 times. He told the police that the demon inside of him was what made him do it. The Warrens felt they needed to testify for Arne since they saw the possession and were part of it. However, Arne ends up going to prison no matter how much Ed and Lorraine stand up for him.

**The Annabelle Films**

Annabelle

The Annabelle movies gave horror lovers a big scare with the face of this creepy doll. A medical student named John Form bought the creepy doll for his expecting wife, Mia. In the movie, it was a porcelain doll, but in real life, Ed and Lorraine Warren kept a Raggedy Ann doll named Annabelle in a glass case.

It turned out that the doll was possessed by the spirit of a girl named Annabelle. Paranormal events began to happen in John and Mia’s home, and as soon as she gave birth to their daughter, Leah, things seemed to get even worse. They contacted a priest to help them; they just wanted peace from this spirit. After the doll disappeared, it reappeared when a woman bought it for her daughter, Debbie. Debbie was a nursing student and took the doll to her home. Her story is seen in the first half of The Conjuring film.

Annabelle Comes Home

Annabelle Comes Home is yet another installment of a film inspired by Ed and Lorraine Warren. In this film, the Warrens have a babysitter come over to watch their daughter Judy for one night. The babysitter, Mary Ellen, invites a friend over. Daniela, her friend, goes into the Warrens’ haunted and cursed objects room. As she pokes around, she sees the Annabelle doll and decides to let her out. This ends up causing some horrible paranormal events.

Although most of the events in this movie were made up, fans of the franchise enjoyed it. This movie was dedicated to Lorraine Warren, who died on April 18, 2019.

Other movies seem to be inspired by the Warrens but do not give them much credit in the films themselves. The Nun, The Nun 2, and various seasons of American Horror Story were all inspired by the Warrens in some type of way. All of the movies in The Conjuring franchise pay homage in one way or another to the Warrens and everything that they did for families that faced paranormal events in their homes.

American Horror Story: Double Feature

Published by FrightFind On April 25, 2021

American Horror Story….known in social media circles simply as AHS to all the fans, is gearing up on production for what will be their tenth and most anticipated season on the cable channel FX. To celebrate, they’re going all out with their casting by enlisting in the acting presences of none other than Paris Jackson and former child star sensation Macauley Culkin.

Paris Jackson Joins AHS

You read that right horror fans. Series creator and longtime showrunner Ryan Murphy has indeed brought a most newsworthy buzz to the upcoming season. For those unfamiliar and not, Paris Jackson is the only daughter of the most multitalented and enigmatic music entertainer ever….Michael Jackson. Jackson himself was no stranger to horror mediums as he portrayed both a werewolf and zombie in one of the most talked-about music videos ever made, Thriller.

Perhaps the horror acting bug caught up to Paris because she herself also had acting roles of the terrifyingly transgressive kind in feature film Habit, as well as a role on MTV’s horror show, Scream: The Series. As with anything AHS or Ryan Murphy related (such as Netflix’s upcoming serial killer doc “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”) details on just exactly who….or what….she might be playing has been kept under the tightest of plot wraps.

No, AHS Isn’t Going All Home Alone

Macauley Culkin himself perhaps needs no introduction. A child star of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Culkin launched to international superstardom with the Home Alone series. Soon after he finished out his on-screen career with a role as the disturbingly sick and twisted adolescent in The Good Son. Since then, Culkin has taken to hosting duties on his highly popular Bunny Ears podcast where pop culture trivia of all types is encouraged. Given his acting chops and experience, he should be no stranger to whatever wicked storylines get thrown his way in AHS.

AHS Theme and Release Date

A post shared by Ryan Murphy (@mrrpmurphy)

As far as what the hotly anticipated tenth season will be about or unveil its theme, naturally, there is little that can be revealed in the interest of not wrecking everything with spoilers. Ryan Murphy did take to Instagram recently to announce that the name of the newest season will in fact be titled, Double Feature. Mercilessly teasing AHS fans, even more, Murphy did go on to say that the season will feature two completely different themes. The first half of the season will be centered “on the sea.” The second half of the season is said to take place, “on the sand.”

AHS: Double Feature will debut in late 2021 and we’ve got our horror calendars marked!

Jeffrey Dahmer Comes To Netflix: What We Know

Published by FrightFind On March 28, 2021

Netflix is just about the best in the business when it comes to not only streaming award-winning films and television series but also cultivating its most popular genres across their platform to bring you the very best in desired content. It’s no surprise that true crime horror is one of the hottest properties on Netflix, so what does the streaming monolith have in store for subscribers? How about a true-crime series on the lifetime slayings of notorious American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

Here are five things you need to know about Netflix’s Monster:

Jeffrey Dahmer Series Gets a Name

Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story will be the official title of this new Netflix series and early reports having it debuting and ready to stream everywhere in late 2021/early 2022.

Veteran Television Actor Evan Peters To Star

When it comes to playing the titular role of Dahmer himself, it’s best to employ a horror actor already in the acting mindset of regularly doing evil onscreen so the translation to characters is more highly nuanced and less plodding. Enter longtime American Horror Story actor and WandaVision superhero, Evan Peters, who not only has been the first actor cast in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, but he is also set to play the cannibalistic killer himself.

Rounding out the cast at this moment in specified roles also includes Academy Award nominee Richard Jenkins who will portray Dahmer’s father, Lionel. Veteran character actress Penelope Ann Miller is also set to co-star as Dahmer’s mother, Joyce. Emmy Award winner Niecy Nash rounds out the cast at the moment in an unspecified role.

American Horror Story Creator On-Board

With such a sizable series that will chronicle the murderous exploits of “the Milwaukee Monster”, veteran horror story experience was a must. Netflix is turning over the creative reigns of the production to none other than the American Horror Story creator himself, Ryan Murphy. Given the lengthy production history between Evans and Murphy, it will be fascinating to see their take on what prompted the real-life cannibal to slaughter and eat seventeen men over a thirteen-year period.

Not Your Average Serial Killer Series

There are many streaming series and shows with serial killers that follow a ground-up, origin story. For Monster, Murphy is taking a vastly different approach as the show will take the unorthodox approach of re-telling Dahmer’s murderous exploits from a point of view from his victims. If anything the series aims to be firmly entrenched in psychological horror, rather than just straight horror itself.

Dahmer And White Privilege

One of the more interesting theories being used in the show will be examining the instances where Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested or at least held by police at different times during his killing sprees, only to be ultimately released. The aura of white privilege will be confronted and examined in detail as it will chronicle just how, “a clean-cut, good-looking white guy” accused of murder, cannibalism, and necrophilia was somehow never charged in ten court cases.

Netflix Checks In To The Cecil Hotel

Published by FrightFind On March 10, 2021

Missing persons, serial killers, demonic activity, and even mind-bending realities. No those aren’t fixtures in a new horror film, instead, they’re commonplace in one of the most haunted Hollywood spots in all of Los Angeles…..The Cecil Hotel. A place so popular amongst horror and true crime fans, that even stylish fright shows such as American Horror Story and the streaming giant Netflix have dabbled in its legend. Wanna get caught up in some true horror history?

Crime Scene: Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel

Most media pundits and critics today agree that you haven’t made the big time….unless you’re on Netflix. The streaming zenith is home to just about every television series, movie, and documentary known to man and it came as no surprise that in February 2021 it debuted it’s latest talked-about hit. Famous documentary series director Joe Berlinger brought to life a new series entitled, Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel. Berlinger is no stranger to the true-crime macabre as his earlier Netflix show’s on, Jeffery Epstein and Ted Bundy, were massive hits with fans and critics alike.

In Crime Scene, Berlinger directed four, one hour long shows documenting the sordid and bloody history of the Cecil Hotel, serving as a backdrop to the series’s focused crime. Doctors, authors, detectives, former employees, and everyone in between, Berlinger leaves no stone unturned. Centering primarily around the disappearance of Elisa Lam, each episode is interlinked and immediately worthy of a must-do binge watch on the whole series to discover just exactly what caused perhaps one of the most puzzling personal disappearances in Los Angeles crime history.

Cecil Hotel’s Serial Killer Resident

Richard Ramirez: The Night Stalker

The Cecil Hotel was known to have some of the lowest daily or weekly rates of any hotel in the area, along with a no-questions-asked sort of registration policy. Terrorizing L.A. residents on a rape and murder spree during the summer of 1985 was a young derelict named Richard Ramirez. Dubbed the “Night Stalker” by the media, his penchant for blood and Satanism knew no limits as he murdered his way into the night while lounging and sleeping off his horrendous crimes during the day at the Cecil. Ramirez often stayed on the 14th floor and while he never brought any victims in or killed on-site, people remember his behavior as low key and unassuming. A total contrast to his bloodthirsty murder sprees he’d engage in before sleeping it off to do all over again.

Jack Unterweger: The Vienna Woods Killer

The Vienna Woods Killer, Jack Unterweger as was a resident of the Cecil Hotel. Also known by Austrian media as the “Poet of Death” for his exceptional writing skills while in prison or on trial, Unterweger was working for an Austrian true-crime publication that sent him to L.A. in 1991. The murderer of at least ten sex workers and possibly more, the belief among true-crime theorists is Unterweger vehemently explored the seedy L.A. underworld of prostitution and used the Cecil Hotel as a home base to retire too and sharpen his deadly ambitions.

The Elisa Lam Mystery

“You’re always haunted by the idea you’re wasting your life.”

A quote from Elisa Lam’s favorite author Chuck Palahniuk, the 21-year-old Canadian University student tragically would find herself wasting her own life right there in the Cecil Hotel. Lam was on a trip to California from the British Columbia area in late January 2003 and chose to stay at the Cecil Hotel, likely due to the affordability. Little did she know she’d be dead five days later. Going out to explore L.A. is something she dreamed of and wrote about in her social media Tumblr blog (which is still online and can be found here: https://nouvelle-nouveau.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/text and read in its haunting entirety). Renting initially a shared room, Lam’s roommate requests she be moved due to her erratic behavior.

Lam was eventually relocated on the 14th floor (the Night Stalker’s former floor) and spent time exploring bookstores in the L.A. area while making sure to call her family every night. January 31, 2013, Elisa disappears, her family then reaches out to the police. A thorough missing person investigation is launched with little to go on as everything led to a dead-end for investigators. By February 15, 2013, investigators discovered a surveillance video in the hotel’s elevator which showed a panicked Lam hiding inside the elevator. Peeking out to check if the hallway is clear, she appears to be running from someone….or something. Lam exits the elevator and is never seen again.

On February 19, 2013, guests at the Cecil complained to maintenance manager Santiago Lopez about the taste and color of the hotel’s water. Lopez bridged the roof and breached one of the hotel’s four water supply tanks to discover Lam’s naked, and bloated corpse floating face up in the water supply. The police drained and cut through the tank to pull her body out. How could a smaller woman escape to a reclusive and hard-to-reach portion of the hotel’s roof without a ladder? How did she alternately lift the 100 lbs hatch lid and then close it from the inside? Police were dumbstruck by the scene and chalked her death up to a simple drowning. Eerily enough Lam’s phone was never found, but that didn’t stop her Tumblr posts from posting even after her death!

Spiritual Portal?

In recent years, the Cecil Hotel has absolutely been one of the most popular true-crime horror destinations in the area. Elisa Lam’s death has attracted throngs of attention, and one of the more interesting theories is her frantic button-pushing in the elevator on the day of her disappearance was not as it appeared. Theorists believe she was engaging in an East Asian paranormal act dubbed the Elevator Game. It’s a maddening button push game in which someone goes in an elevator and must go in between, up and down floors in a certain pattern, while never exiting the actual elevator. If done properly, the last floor reached will open up not to our reality, but instead to an ethereal otherworld dimension. People report seeing a woman with a red cross on her chest who somehow helps answer your questions, while others claim that they’re relentlessly pursued by a female demon who aspires for nothing more than collecting your soul before you can reverse the process in the same elevator. The consensus among these theorists is that Elisa played the Elevator Game, and permanently lost.

American Horror Story Gets Involved

Uber popular horror anthology recently took a stab at shooting some scenes for their show at the Cecil. Showrunner Ryan Murphy is a self-confessed fan of the Cecil Hotel, so much so that he incorporated season five’s theme of a hotel in the “Hotel Cortez” where guests check-in and go missing…..straight from Cecil’s history, a mix between the true life Cecil and H.H. Holmes Murder Castle in Chicago. Not to be outdone in the area of just missing guests, Murphy crafted perhaps the most terrifying episode in all of AHS history with the infamous “Devil’s Night” episode in which a recreated portrayal of the Night Stalker himself, Richard Ramirez, is featured on the show.

The long and sordid history of the Cecil Hotel is one that is of a living legend in the true-crime paranormal world……and the vacancies are currently open.

Top Haunts In Hollywood

Published by FrightFind On May 18, 2019

Lights! Camera! Haunting! Hollywood, California is where all the greatest major motion pictures and television series emanate from. Glitzy celebrities, paparazzi, fame, and endless fans have all gathered here over the many decades to celebrate the latest in entertainment. Over time celebrities pass, fame is fleeting, and fans find other stars. So what is left to be?

Here are the Top Five Haunted Places in Hollywood:

The Entity House

In 1974, a divorced mother of four children named Doris Bither moved her family into a small, West Los Angeles home. Having one younger girl and three older boys, space was small, but the Bither’s made the best use of what they had. Unfortunately, the happiness did not last long as Doris was subject to incredible physical and sexual assaults by a trio of spiritual entities. Relief was temporarily found in the chance meeting with Dr. Barry Taff, a budding parapsychologist. What happened next were some of the best-documented instances of unexplained spectral and paranormal lights that have ever been recorded on film. Doris and her family eventually fled the home, but this unsuspecting ranch style home in the heart of Hollywood also helped inspired the 1981 cult horror class, The Entity.

The Roosevelt Hotel

Opening in 1927 and named after Theodore Roosevelt, the Roosevelt Hotel served as a Hollywood staple for decades, in fact, the first ever Academy Award ceremony was held at the hotel. Situated across from Grauman’s Chinese Theater, hundreds of celebrities have stayed at the hotel, with a generous portion of their spirits still taking up residence. Marilyn Monroe stayed at the hotel years before her untimely death. Visitors have reported seeing Monroe’s ghost passing by them in the mirror. Veteran actor Montgomery Clift stayed at the Roosevelt for months while filming the classic, From Where To Eternity, and guests have reported his bugle music permeating his room at all hours. The Hollywood charm and glitz has never faded from the Roosevelt and its business today has never been busier and more prosperous.

The Comedy Store

Right on the sunset strip, this comedy club has had some of show business’s greatest comedians of all time grace their stage. Richard Pryor, Jerry Seinfeld, George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, Jim Carey, and Eddie Murphy have all at one point or another torn down the house with laughter. However, for all the good humor going on, the Comedy Store is rather paranormally active. Before being established in 1972 as a comedy club, the building was formerly an Italian restaurant that served as a mob front in which mafia activities went on in the back. The basement area was referred to as “the torture room” where mafioso dealt with traitors to their outfit.

When the comedy club emerged, the lingering spirits took issue with some comedians. Sam Kinnison was a boisterously loud man with a rapid-fire comedy style. He would get so loud that the lights in the club would flicker if things got too out of control. One evening during a set, he had heard there were ghosts in the building and if they didn’t like it, he demanded they show themselves. After challenging the spirits, every single light in the building went out plunging his show into darkness. Today the lights still flicker and even the faintest of boos can be heard when there is no audience in the room.

Cecil Hotel

Situated downtown is the infamously historic Cecil Hotel. Built in 1927, this multi-story hotel boasts over 700 rooms that can be rented out with low daily and weekly rates. Adjacent to the hotel is a patch of downtown referred to as “Skid Row”, a reputed area for heavy drug use and rampant homelessness. With so many rooms and diversity of visitors, it wasn’t before long that the ghost stories of the Cecil emerged. Cold spots, banging sounds, and whispers of all types have permeated the many floors. In 2013, college student Elisa Lam was chased and terrorized by an unseen force that was captured on film before she died mysteriously on the roof. In 2014 a young boy took a photograph that made headlines as it showed an apparition hanging right off a balcony ledge. To up the scare factor here, both notorious serial killers Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger were frequent guests here.

The Hollywood Sign

More then likely the first image that comes to mind when one thinks of the sights of Hollywood, the Hollywood sign is perhaps the truest form of practical embodiment that the city has. Standing forty-five feet tall and over three hundred and fifty feet long, this near hundred-year-old landmark is a tourist staple. The brief hike and remote location of the sign have had some mysteriousness associated with it. In 1932, actress Peg Entwhistle climbed upon the letter “H” and committed suicide by jumping off. Over the next several decades, visitors and hikers alike have come across Peg’s ghost.

Many have told of seeing a woman in period dress walking slowly around the trail to the sign. Others have come across a woman in period dress (not considered unusual in Hollywood as anyone could have an audition later), asking how to get to the top of the sign and disappearing before answering. The most ghostly activity is the heavy and extreme scent of gardenias at the feet of the Hollywood sign. This was a reported favorite scent that Entwhistle frequently wore and made even eerier by the fact that there are no gardenias anywhere to be found on the entire property.

Jessica Lange returns to AHS 8: Apocalypse

On Friday, FX announced at the Television Critics Association Press tour that Jessica Lange would be returning to season eight’s American Horror Story: Apocalypse. On top of that earth-shattering news, Lange will also be revisiting her original role as season one’s Constance Langdon from the Murder House storyline.

Jessica Lange on American Horror Story

Lange was a mainstay and leading presence on American Horror Story seasons one through four as Constance Langdon (Murder House), Sister Jude (Asylum), Fiona Goode (Coven), and Elsa Mars (Freakshow), which garnered her four Emmy nominations and two wins.

AHS season four had initially marked Lange’s retirement from the series, but thankfully Lange has changed her mind. Lange has worked with American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy on a somewhat public 2017 feud which had her return up in the air for some time. With the feud behind them, Lange is now officially returning to American Horror Story and fans are ecstatic.

AHS Season 8 Release Date and Other Cast News

Further news on the upcoming season, due to debut on September 12th, include the casting of Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story star Cody Fern as Michael Langdon, the murderous baby conceived by Evan Peters’ Tate Langdon and Connie Britton’s Vivien Harmon during the events of Murder House—and was revealed in the season’s epilogue as the Anti-Christ himself.

Additional announcements include that Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Kathy Bates will be the season’s leads, with Paulson directing the season and Peters due to direct a yet-to-be-selected episode in the ambitious Murder House and Coven crossover.

FX has recently renewed American Horror Story for seasons nine and ten leaving us with at least two more seasons ahead.

Check out the first AHS: Apocalypse trailer here.

AHS 8 Theme: Apocalypse

“The story begins with the end of the world and then our world begins,” commented executive producer Alexis Martin Woodall on American Horror Story: Apocalypse’s storyline.

American Horror Story Season 8 will have it all

Published by FrightFind On June 25, 2018

On Season 8 of American Horror Story, the Coven just might be coming to stay at the Murder House. To revisit the series, the horrifying first season followed the misfortunes of an unlucky family after their move into a haunted Los Angeles mansion, while season three witnessed the rise of the Supreme from the flock of witches attending a special school for up-and-coming spellcasters.

After confirming the crossover June 14th via Twitter, series creator and producer Ryan Murphy has been giving fans very, very few hints and peeks at what’s to come, but here is what we know, horror fans…

It’s A ‘Murder House’ – ‘Coven’ Crossover

Variety reports that Murphy “previously said that series mainstays Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Kathy Bates will lead the eighth season of the series.” For fans and newbies alike, Paulson played the role of Billie Dean Howard in Murder House and returned as Howard in Season 5’s Hotel. Paulson also appeared in Coven as Miss Robichaux’s Academy headmistress Cordelia Fox. Peters, meanwhile, haunted viewers as Tate in Murder House and portrayed a traumatized, modern-day Frankenstein as Kyle Spencer in Coven. Bates was not a member of the Murder House cast, but her role as Madame Delphine LaLaurie brought its own set of historic chills to Coven, and Bates also most recently appeared in season six’s Roanoke.

Murphy also revealed in April that Peters will play a “comedic hairstylist” during a ‘For Your Consideration’ event at the Emmys in Los Angeles and that Joan Collins will be Peters’ character’s grandmother, as reported by Deadline. No definitive word on Jessica Lange yet, but that could be a good thing.

With the political themes of recent seasons, the themes may see some potentially higher stakes in the upcoming season: “It’s heightened,” Murphy said of the upcoming season. “It’s not necessarily as real and grounded as the past season. We’re sort of getting back to Asylum and Coven. That’s the tone of it.” The season is also reportedly being set 18 months in the future, making some to speculate that this is to age a certain young character.

Is American Horror Story going nuclear?

Theorist fans of the series also note that with Murphy’s announcement of the season being set 18 months in the future in April of this year, that would make season 8 sit somewhere in October 2019–and “Oct. 6, 2019, marks the 58th anniversary of a speech by JFK telling Americans to build nuclear bomb shelters, which would track with the alleged ‘radioactive’ theme,” reported Cosmopolitan.

Shooting is to begin in June, and rumors surrounding the season’s title are swirling, with American Horror Story: Radioactive as a front-runner. However, Murphy has yet to confirm the season’s title, with Murphy telling Entertainment Weekly that “I heard about that rumor… Well, that’s based on a fact that we’ve cleared a lot of titles for that show. It’s an interesting idea. I can neither confirm nor deny.”

Season 8 of American Horror Story is currently rumored at a September 2018 release.

It’s been a couple months since American Horror Story fans received some bittersweet news about their beloved FX drama; the announcement of a pending Disney-Fox takeover and an interesting announcement from series creator Ryan Murphy regarding the setting of AHS Season 8.

Disney Takeover

Fan reactions have been varied on both of these revelations. To recap, in December Disney announced that they would be adding 21st Century Fox to their ever-growing list of acquisitions – this includes the FX networks that three of Murphy’s hit series call home, including American Horror Story.

Earlier this month, Murphy made his stance known about the merger at the Television Critics Association press tour calling his response to the news “emotional”. And while he joked about asking Bob Iger, current CEO of The Walt Disney Company, if he would have to add Mickey Mouse to his American Horror Story cast, (don’t worry, Iger has supposedly assured him he wouldn’t) fans have not been as keen on the news.

Amid the cries of monopolization of the entertainment industry, fans of more adult oriented franchises, like American Horror Story, are worried about these projects getting shelved- potentially indefinitely – once the merger goes through. And with the future of horror staples like Ridley Scott’s Alien franchise still up in the air, fans of American Horror Story may have a real reason to be wary.

AHS is Going Forward

Murphy has reiterated, however, that he isn’t planning on making any major decisions soon and that American Horror Story season 8 is still definitely in the works … and it’s taking place in the future.

That’s right. American Horror Story season 8 is officially going sci-fi.

How far in the future is still a mystery and despite this being Murphy’s first attempt at science fiction, he claims that after his season 8 pitch to FX chief John Landgraf, Landgraf “fell out of his chair with joy”, adding that while it’s different from what he’s tried before, he thinks people will enjoy it.

This is a revelation that still seems to be settling in with fans. On Twitter reactions include polls speculating on the possibility of American Horror style robots, horrific dental appliances, and demands for series favorites, Evan Peters, Connie Britton, and Lily Rabe making reappearances. Other responses lament the decision to move forward in time, with one user claiming the series may lose them completely, all the while others beg for an apocalyptic, sci-fi setting and declare the decision simply, “AWESOME!”.

Fan Theories and What we Know so Far

Despite the lack of any real, concrete information about season 8, including the lack of a title, fan speculation has thrived.

Prior to Cult, Murphy had teased that an upcoming season would be a crossover, leading some fans to theorize that season 8 might be a futuristic continuation of Murder House or Coven.

Others believe that it will be a continuation of Cult and will take place in Butte, Montana, a reference to the train ticket that Beverly Hope (Adina Porter) received in season 7.

Besides the definite futuristic and science fiction themes, there is speculation that season 8 will deal with one of the nine circles of Hell. This comes from a July 2017 post from Murphy himself, correlating previous seasons with each of the various levels, and leaving only Lust and Violence as the remaining two themes. But let’s be honest, with American Horror Story those are themes that are already to be expected.

Sarah Paulson to take a Bite out of Season 8

Also expected, Sarah Paulson will definitely be making a return…but as what exactly, is yet to be determined. Paulson is no stranger to playing unique characters in previous seasons, including a set of conjoined twins in Freak Show, but according to Murphy this season will include dental applications that have “nothing to do with anything you’ve ever seen before,” along with a promise that her appearance will be “chilling.”

The rest of the season 8 reveal thus far has been fairly vague. We know that Sarah Paulson will be returning, and the series will air sometime in 2018. The series has definitely been confirmed through 9 seasons, and with Murphy still at the helm, we’re curious what speculations you have for the upcoming season. What do you think?

Let us know what (and who!) you want to see return in 2018 in the comments below!

Will Lady Gaga and Jessica Lange return to AHS?

Published by FrightFind On August 2, 2017

The frenzy continues to grow as the newly named AHS season 7 approaches. As this anthology-driven horror series has progressed over the past six seasons, more and more fans have discovered and fallen in love with it. One of the things that have fueled this popularity is the performances of fan favorite characters, in particular, Jessica Lange, who starred in the show for the first four seasons, and Lady Gaga, who joined in season five and also had some appearances in season six. With season seven looming above us, and seasons eight and nine confirmed, fans have been speculating as to whether or not either of these iconic ladies will return, especially since recent events have more or less proved the theory that all of the various storylines are, at least in some crazy way, connected. With that in mind, let’s look at these rumors in more detail.

Will Lady Gaga Return to American Horror Story?

Fans have been wondering about the future status of Lady Gaga since the airing of the last few minutes of season six. A June 24 tweet by AHSLeaks launched fans into a frenzy when it stated the iconic pop singer might return in some capacity once again, which was based in part of information taken from Vogue.

Fans immediately reacted.

Yessss

— Lindsay Kelly (@lindskkelly) June 25, 2017

The rumor mill went into overdrive, with speculation about which sort of character she might play in the upcoming season, and — just as important for many of her fans — what look she might adopt for the role.

However, recent information has been released which seems to squash this rumor for all but the most ardent fans. Even a retraction by AHSLeaks posted a couple of days later, on June 26, which states clearly “Lady Gaga will not be returning for #AHS7” hasn’t stopped fans from wondering. In a show filled with twists and surprises at every turn, no one would be completely shocked if Gaga didn’t manage to somehow make it into the show at some point. One thing’s for certain: if she did make an appearance in either a small role or even a more important one, it would most certainly be a role that would keep people talking for months.

Will Jessica Lange Return to American Horror Story?

With the seemingly definite absence of Lady Gaga this season, many of the show’s strongest fans have been secretly wondering if season seven wouldn’t bring a return of the show’s original, and arguably even more popular, the leading lady, Jessica Lange. During the first four seasons, Jessica’s strong presence helped to propel this series to something special, and her performances are still being talked about. And why not? With a pedigree and legacy as long-lasting as Ms. Lange, it would be more surprising if she had brought anything less to the show. With that in mind, AHS creator Ryan Murphy has mentioned more than once that, with season seven being an apparent crossover of sorts between the Murder House and Coven story lines, bringing back Ms. Lange is an idea that he definitely open to.

Unfortunately for fans, though, Jessica herself has squashed this rumor.

In an April interview, Jessica stated that she has “no plans” to return to AHS, despite what Murphy may or may not have in mind. Since leaving the show she’s been rather busy herself, playing the role of Joan Crawford to Susan Sarandon’s Bette Davis, as well as roles in Wild Oats and Horace and Pete, and it’s quite possible that the Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress just doesn’t have the time. This hasn’t stopped fans from wanting to see her back, however, with one recent fan demanding her return to Ryan Murphy himself.

Now that filming is underway, though, and recently released photos of cast and crew hard at work show no sign of Ms. Lange, it’s probably time to put this rumor to bed.

But what about season eight or nine? Never is a long time to wait.

The Truth Behind H.H. Holmes and The Devil in the White City

Published by FrightFind On June 9, 2017

Even if you’re not a serial killer buff or horror movie fanatic, chances are you’ve heard of H.H. Holmes, the man dubbed America’s first serial killer. No relation to John. But did you know of his hotel turned “Murder Castle” or that H.H. Holmes isn’t even his real name? As Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio begin production on an H.H. Holmes film, we delve into several weird facts about the killer that inspired it.

“The Devil in the White City”

Based on the novel, The Devil in the White City, Martin Scorsese’s current work in progress appears to be a thriller drama following the life of con-man, doctor and serial killer H.H. Holmes. As of December, Scorsese told Sun Media that the script was in the works and it appears Leonardo DiCaprio is the likely man for the part of Holmes.

DiCaprio actually owns the film rights to the book of the same name, which he acquired in 2010, and as this will be the sixth film that he has worked on with Scorsese, it’s likely that he had intentions to play Holmes all along. From Howard Hughes to H.H. Holmes, Leonardo seems perfect for the role.

This isn’t the first H.H. Holmes rendition. Evan Peters played the role of James Patrick March in American Horror Story: Hotel. March’s sadistic character was very much inspired H.H. Holmes and they even had their own AHS version of the murderous hotel (Hotel Cortez) combined with some recent true life hotel horrors (Cecil Hotel) mixed in.

But who was Holmes exactly?

Who was H.H. Holmes?

The man called H.H. Holmes was actually born Herman Webster Mudgett on May 16, 1861 in Gilmanton, New Hampshire. He had several aliases during his life, including Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, Henry Gordon and Alexander Bond. Although it was H.H. Holmes of which he appeared most fond, taking his surname from none other than detective extraordinaire, Sherlock Holmes.

Little did he know that his own story would eventually get a slot in the detective series years after his passing. On January 8, 2017 the hit television series Sherlock featured fictional serial killer Culverton Smith who was inspired by Holmes’s grim works.

And just how grim did Holmes get? Well…

H.H. Holmes and his “Murder Castle”

H.H. Holmes Murder Castle in Chicago

Just in time for the 1893 World Fair, Holmes had a simple drug store converted into a series of apartments that he called the World’s Fair Hotel. The massive structure was three stories tall and took up the space of an entire city block. But this was no ordinary hotel.

Holmes’s hotel, (dubbed a “castle” for it’s size and later “Murder Castle” because that’s the most fitting name for it) featured 51 doorways that opened to blank brick walls, stairways that led to dead ends, 2 furnaces used for cremating bodies, 100 windowless rooms, lubricated shoots that dumped bodies into incinerators and pits of acid in the basement specifically for the disposal of human remains.

Seriously, this massive structure was built solely because Holmes wanted a murder playground. In many of the windowless, airtight rooms, Holmes had gas lines installed to suffocate guests as they slept and tunnels that were there only to dispose of bodies sight unseen. He even had a large bank vault installed just so he could lock away unsuspecting women and allow them to starve or die of oxygen deprivation.

If that weren’t enough, Holmes also had other very specific rooms built inside the hotel, including one called “The Hanging Room”, where unsuspecting hotel guests were chloroformed and strung up by their necks.

And all of this occurred directly above the drug store that Holmes kept open and running on the first floor. It’s no wonder that the Chicago “Murder Castle” made it onto TIME’s Top Ten List of Evil Lairs. And just how many people did Holmes kill inside his macabre mansion?

Where is H.H. Holmes Murder Castle?

The H.H. Holmes Murder Castle can be found at 611 West 63rd Street in Chicago, Illinois. You can check out the location, but the Murder Castle has been replaced by the Englewood Post Office. There are many stories of ghostly activity on the Murder Castle’s grounds and postal workers have some spooky stories inside the buildings. You can read more about the Murder Castle’s location, its devious architecture, and its stories here.

How many people did Holmes really kill?

During Holmes’s reign of terror, many newspapers fell victim to so called “yellow journalism.” Yellow journalism refers to a ploy used by journalist in the 1800’s to sell more newspapers with sensational, eye catching headlines but very few facts. Basically, 19^th century click bait. It just so happens that this corresponded perfectly with Holmes murder sprees.

Estimates range from 9 to 27 and even up to 200 suspected victims, although even during Holmes’s trial, questions emerged surrounding the murky details.

It is known that Holmes began his spree with simple insurance fraud. Working in a university medical lab gave Holmes access to medical cadavers, with which he began disfiguring and reporting to insurance companies. Claiming to be the beneficiary on the policy, Holmes would regularly claim life insurance funds after reporting tragic accidents that supposedly befell the corpses. This is likely what lead to many of his suspected victims (victims Holmes himself claimed credit for) re-appearing elsewhere alive and well and contributed to the confusion surrounding the actual numbers.

After having to relocate to keep suspicion down, Holmes switched up his tactics. No longer have access to medical cadavers, he began working fraudulent insurance schemes with living people. Most of these victims were women who worked for him at his drug store. Holmes insisted that his employees take out life insurance policies as a condition of working for him, and all of these policies had to list Holmes as the beneficiary. After the ink was dry, Holmes could take his time picking off unsuspecting women and claiming the funds. It was with these funds that Holmes was able to afford his lavish torture hotel.

While Holmes admittedly claimed a total of 27 lives, only nine victims were found in the hotel and Holmes was only officially convicted of one murder, that of his business partner and associate, Benjamin Pitezel.

How was Holmes finally arrested?

Marion Hedgepeth, the man who turned in H.H. Holmes

Despite his murderous rampage, it was the theft of a single horse in Texas that was ultimately Holmes’s downfall.

Always looking for a new way to make money, Holmes had partnered with business associate Benjamin Pitezel to do yet another insurance scam. He convinced Pitezel to fake his own death for the $10,000 insurance payout (over $200,000 in today’s money) telling him that he would arrange for a corpse who looked like him and the two would split the money. Whether he was unable to find a lookalike corpse or whether he never had those intentions in the first place, Holmes instead simply killed Pitezel himself and claimed the funds.

He might have gotten away with it, had it not been for one scorned and very much alive partner in crime that he had bailed on. Marion Hedgepeth, a train robber and outlaw, had once been approached by Holmes to recommend a lawyer that would help out with his insurance schemes should they go awry. For his recommendation, Holmes promised him a $500 payout from his latest scheme. This payout never happened and prompted Hedgepeth to turn him over to the authorities.

While authorities originally had their doubts considering the source of information, they were able to find a warrant for Holmes’s arrest. A warrant for the theft of a horse in Texas.

Police used this horse theft to hold Holmes while they did some detective work into the more nefarious claims surrounding Pitezel’s death.

Soon after, Holmes was sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of Benjamin Pitezel.

H.H. Holmes death a conspiracy theory

It’s obvious that Holmes was a master manipulator and conman during his life, so is it possible that he managed to manipulate the very police putting him to death? Could he have pulled one last con on the courts and made his escape to the warm beaches of South America, as one former employee of Holmes’ hotel suggested?

According to some, it’s plausible.

Shortly following his death, many suspected that the hanging had all been a sham. Reports swirled about with rumors, one from Robert Lattimer, a former hotel employee who insisted he had seen letters between Holmes and his lawyer confirming his prison escape plan. Although these letters were never presented as evidence, it still garnered enough attention to merit questions.

With his wealth had Holmes managed to pay off the guards assigned to his hanging? Did he talk them into switching out his body for another inmate that was due to be executed? Could it be that this is the real reason behind Holmes bizarre burial request, in which he asked that his coffin be covered in thousands of pounds of concrete?

While this all may sound ludicrous, it’s actually gaining more media attention today than one would think. In fact, as of May 3^rd, 2017 Holmes’s living relatives are currently in the process of exhuming his body just to verify that it was indeed Holmes who was put to death. DNA from his relatives have already been submitted and the act of excavating his grave has gained approval from city authorities.

In fact, if the conspiracy turns out to be true, Scorsese may have to make a new ending for The Devil in the White City.

American Horror Story 7

Published by FrightFind On February 2, 2017

AHS Hints at Season 7

Fans of FX’s American Horror Story are undeniably loyal to the anthology horror series, yet some didn’t care for AHS 6’s plot-twisting, “Roanoke” and hope that a similar theme won’t be repeated. One fan Tweeted: “I can’t believe the ending of this AHS season is a fake tv show about a fake tv show, based off of the first season of a fake tv show.”

The finale drew mixed reactions, and while it is still too early to draw any solid conclusions, AHS creators may have began hinting at a possible theme for the follow up season…

A Tweet posted by the show’s Twitter account immediately following the finale of season six revealed that the theme for season 7 might somehow involve water. Show creator Ryan Murphy says that only three people other than himself know what the theme will be including the series regular, Sarah Paulson. We’ll find out in due time if this was misperceived or more misdirection.

AHS Season 7 Cast

Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson have starred in all six seasons of American Horror Story thus far, and Murphy confirms that they each will return for season 7. No word on Lady Gaga, whose season 6 return had a few fans upset at how limited her role was.

Will There Be A Season 7 Theme Reveal?

Traditionally the show’s producers have created anticipation and media buzz about upcoming seasons by creatively unveiling plotlines, new and returning cast members, and themes in early spring. But last season, Murphy and company broke with that tradition.

The theme of AHS season six was only mildly hinted at in July of 2016, but plotlines were not unveiled until the season premiered on September 14th. Until that point, there had been very little chatter about the season’s theme; show’s producers revealing only that it could be expected to be even more dark and offbeat than seasons past.

I don’t know that we’d do [a surprise reveal] again. Maybe we would release [season 7 theme hints] earlier. I just started writing it. I haven’t decided how to do it yet. – Ryan Murphy

Will Murphy and AHS keep us on the edge of our seats before the season starts? Murphy said, “I don’t know that we’d do [a surprise reveal] again. Maybe we would release [season 7 theme hints] earlier. I just started writing it. I haven’t decided how to do it yet.”

Present Day Season 7?

The theme of American Horror Story changes each season, telling a different narrative using the same cast playing different characters. The innovation has been hailed as “genius,” “insane,” and ultimately terrifying by fans and critics alike.

While season 2 titled “Asylum” took viewers back to 1964, and season four was set in 1952, all other seasons were set in the present day. When questioned about the upcoming season of AHS, Murphy revealed that it will be set in modern day.

An American Horror Crossover?

Fans have long predicted that all previous storylines actually exist within the same fictional universe, and season six all but confirmed that theory. Murphy recently went on record that there are plans to create a season that does exactly that.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Murphy told a crowd in Los Angeles: “It’s not going to be next season, but we are going to do a season that’s a crossover between Murder House and Coven together, which is very bizarre.”

Murphy promises to reveal more about the upcoming season’s theme this spring. And in true American Horror Story style, it is sure to be an interesting reveal.

AHS 7 Air Date

Murphy began writing the script for season 7 in January and while filming has historically taken place during the summer, it is unknown when cameras will roll for the upcoming season. No air date has been confirmed, but is likely to debut in September or October.

AHS is slated to continue for at least another 3 seasons.

More questions than answers remain: In what shocking way will the show’s creators reveal the plot for season seven? Will they somehow weave Jessica Lange’s characters back into the show’s bizarre universe? Doubtful!?! Will Lady Gaga return with more screen time than the paltry few minutes she had in all of season 6?

Who really knows AHS 7’s Theme?

The knowledge of the theme is in short supply right now.

There are only three people in the world who know what [American Horror Story Season 7 is about] And that’s FX CEO John Landgraf, [studio executive] Dana Walden, and Sarah Paulson.

Is water a part of the theme? There’s a lot of doubt that the watery teaser from Twitter was related. What do you think?
