The Conjuring heroine dies at 92

Paranormal researcher Lorraine Warren, one of the prototypes of the Warrens in James Wan's classic horror film "The Conjuring" series, has passed away at the age of 92. In addition to "The Conjuring" and "Annabelle", horror films such as "The Amityville Horror" and "The Haunting of the Morgue" are also adapted from the experiences of the Warrens.

Her grandson Chris McKinnell announced the news on Thursday evening local time, saying that his grandmother "passed away peacefully in her sleep." Later, the director and producer of the "Conjuring" series, James Wan, posted a message of condolence: "She and Ed (Lorraine Warren's husband, who died in 2006) are now in heaven preparing for the next adventure."

Lorraine Warren is a psychic who claims to have "supersensory vision". Her husband, Ed Warren, served in the US Navy during World War II and became a policeman after the war. He later became known as a "demonologist" and paranormal investigator. The couple founded the Society for Paranormal Research in 1952, officially starting their careers as paranormal investigators. The Conjuring series directed by James Wan was created based on the two characters.

After hearing about Lorraine Warren's death, director James Wan posted a photo of her on the set of "The Conjuring" in 2012 and wrote: "I am lucky to have met her and gotten to know her and her family. I am really honored to be able to film her incredible story for audiences around the world. She has been dealing with the afterlife all her life, and she gave me the feeling that she has never been afraid of death."

The Conjuring series of films currently includes three films in the Conjuring series and three films in the Annabelle spin-off series. James Wan served as the director of The Conjuring 1 and 2 and produced other works. In these works, the role of Lorraine Warren is played by Vera Farmiga. The Conjuring 3 is currently in production, and Annabelle 3: Comes Home will be released in the United States on June 28 this year.
