Enter to see The nunThere is no real mystery as to how it connects to the rest of the expanding universe movies of The Conjuring. After all, the demon Valak appears as the monster The Conjuring 2 and even shows up at a postcredit scene at the and of Annabelle: Creation. The real mystery, of course, is How. How does a terrifying monster of the 1900s come to haunt Lorraine Warren? Fortunately, we make get an answer from here the end of The nun; not only does it connect to the universe, but it also gives us a full moment of supercooler that comes right back into The Conjuring's first film. Last chance to go back and ruin some things!

OK, so, I'm not going to spend a lot of time talking about the end of The nun. Here are the essentials: Father Burke (Demián Bichir) and Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) thought they defeated the evil Valak with the help of a local farmboy who called Frenchie, born Maurice. But in the last moments before we left Romania for good, we realize that it is not Irene that must worry us, because Valak has really owned Maurice!

Cut to a scene that actually appears in ConspiracyAbout 40 minutes, we attend a university conference that Ed and Lorraine Warren are giving. Carolyn Perron, whose house is in a sort of presence, is present. Ed and Lorraine play pictures of an old case in which a man named Maurice was possessed by a demon. In the images of the scene, we see the actor who plays Maurice (Jonas Bloquet) and he clearly succumbed to the evil in him. At the very last moment, he utters an inhuman howl and looks directly at Lorraine. Lorraine screams.

There you go! Although Valak does not really appear before the second movie in the Conjuring series, we go back to the beginning to connect another wire. What is interesting, it is that "Maurice", which appeared in the beginning in Conspiracy, is different, which means that they must have reviewed this scene for the The nun. Still, it's cool to see how creators have found a way to reject it. It's really great, right?
