Full Of It #308 - The Conjuring
Added 2024-10-05 23:00:10 +0000 UTCKicking off the first of our spooky pods, we're taking a dive into The Conjuring universe. Beginning with the original film released in 2013, the franchise has since spawned two sequels with a third on the way. There are also spin-offs that focus on the malevolent spirits that feature in the main pictures, namely Annabelle and Valak. The characters at the centre of the films are real-life supernatural investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren - but was any of it genuine or was it all, as one skeptic wrote, "blarney".
If you have a spooky ghost story that you haven't yet submitted to Absolute Agony, feel free to submit it to novympia@gmail.com with the subject as 'Absolute Agony Spooky Story' - I'll be discussing some of them for the final Halloween Full Of It pod!

2024-10-11 23:42:07 +0000 UTCI've been a patron now for about a year and you've been in my ear oles for almost every day of that year. I subbed years ago on YouTube but my biggest regret is not coming to see you guys when you were in Dundee. I wouldn't blame you if you never came back but do you think you will do a tour again in the future? Also I cannot tell you how fucking excited I am for the WWE episode and can't wait to see the extended Novympia universe throwing each other over the top rope. I've been trying to guess who is going to appear. *Jim Ross voice* 'OH MY GOD Barrie the Boiler has entered the ring and chokeslammed Dita!' Can you tell I've been listening to the old pods 😂

2024-10-11 11:03:15 +0000 UTCTotal ly obsessed by anything spooky and paranormal. At one time was considering doing a paranormal/hauntings podcast with a friend but there are so many great ones already. Following lots of looking into them I am pretty much convinced they were great performers but not very good investigators. You have reminded though that I wrote an episode of for a fictional court case comedy improv show for a friend where Annabelle has taken Ed and Lorraine Warren to court to sue them for false imprisonment. We must get that filmed and edited in time for the Halloween edition!

2024-10-10 12:22:20 +0000 UTCHeya doll! Long time listener but I’ve not commented on a pod in a while! This was just what I needed to settle into spooky season! I remember going to a film premiere in London for the conjuring 2 with a guy who years later is now an occasional Fox News guest in the states (yikes I know!) also completely unrelated but a week ago me and my friend climbed up mount Olympus on holiday and I got to enjoy the stumped look on his face when I turned and said “does anybody care that we’re at the highest point in Greece!” Keep being amazing!!!

2024-10-09 19:22:43 +0000 UTCI loved the first two Conjuring movies but agree with you when it comes to the third. Something about it feels really different to the first two. The biggest gripe I have with it is they made Lorraine into a superhero with her clairvoyance. Yes, she's always been able to see things, but in Devil Made Me Do It film she's doing laps around this property "in her head" and interacting with multiple things in the real world while she's in that state. It feels like they needed to escalate from the last movie and chose to do so by making her the Catholic version of a witch.

2024-10-09 15:11:59 +0000 UTCLove the conjuring movies! This has inspired me to do a rewatch.. of the first two. Also my favourite part of the pod was when you called him Patrick Stewart when talking about the nun painting … would have a very different vibe if he was cast as Ed!

2024-10-08 05:09:55 +0000 UTCLike you, I save my favourite horror films for the month of October. Amityville horror, Silent hill, the Blair witch project & sinister being some of the top of my list. I wouldn’t say I have a very favourite as I find it depends on my mood. So happy that my suggestion on absolute agony will also feature on FOI, and yes I have submitted my own story 😁

2024-10-07 18:27:50 +0000 UTCSo I read that the Nun aspect was added in additional shooting for the sequel. It was originally only the old man but Wan felt the movie needed more so they added that in. The studio didn’t mind because they saw it as a great spinoff idea.

2024-10-07 15:21:28 +0000 UTCI take umbridge with movies calling themselves "the scariest movie ever", like longlegs, it wasn't scary at all, maybe I'm just desensitised. I remember seeing the conjuring 2 in cinemas and picking up the name "valak" hidden in the Warren's house and bookshelf, and being so smug when it turns out that was the demons name, none of my friends believed me. Apparently they were going to make a crooked man movie too, but I think it got scraped

2024-10-07 08:06:33 +0000 UTCHiya Lymp you fabulous doll, this has absolutely no relevance to anything discussed, but I was re-watching your self isolation vacation video and absolutely pissing myself. All the way through the thought in the back of my mind was Jesus Christ how on earth did you manage to edit this? and then I got thinking, how on earth do you edit? and was wondering if you would ever do a little series, maybe Patreon exclusive, just showing little bits of editing and how you do it so fabulously. You are incredible and I thoroughly look forward to new episodes of the pod each week, especially the true crime ones, your dulcet tones always make for a great listen

2024-10-07 03:07:49 +0000 UTCRandom question: how much did your course cover Horror as a genre while at uni? I've never heard of anyone actually being taught the theory of horror media but I went to uni an embarrassingly long time ago and the genre wasn't given much respect.

2024-10-06 16:44:13 +0000 UTCAlso I gasped out loud when you said you knew Psychic Sally’s manager. My mum was obsessed with her and then went to see her live and said it was one of the most boring experiences of her life 😂 nothing happened apparently. Just lots of false starts and awkward silences.

2024-10-06 15:52:26 +0000 UTCHave you two seen The Substance? Saw it last night and the best way I can think to describe it is Showgirls meets The Thing. Disgustingly ludicrous, I had a blast.

2024-10-06 13:57:20 +0000 UTCThat 2nd Silent Hill was deplorable! You're correct and I will die on that hill <3

2024-10-06 12:14:30 +0000 UTCWhat an excellent birthday present ya gal is back and it's on horror. This film was the first horror to make me scream out loud. I've always loved horror but this and insidious and such is when we started to get actually scary I thought. Wishing Nova a speedy recovery and a purple heart to you for your nursing services x

2024-10-06 11:34:06 +0000 UTCGrowing up I absolutely hated horror movies, but I randomly really wanted to see it when it came out so I went with my mother... I was absolutely terrified and had to sleep in her bed lol it holds such a place in my heart as it helped started my obsessed with horror movies x my fave horror movie to return too at Halloween is silent hill, it's now probably my favourite film which is hilarious as it's sequel is the worst movie I've ever seen( and Ive watched like horrible low budget zombie movie in existence) it's the only film I've turned off halfway through as it was so gawd awful. Still think Kit Harrington is a shite actor, I'll never forgive him for that movie

2024-10-06 01:13:47 +0000 UTCThe Conjuring is one of those franchises that while not always consistent never fails to scare and scar me. I find the Warrens to be fascinating and credible, which makes the stories even more terrifying. Please share your Moira Rose pics on IG! Hard to top Mrs. Peacock, but you got this! Hugs to Nova - hope she kicks her sick soon. 🖤🩷

2024-10-05 23:48:15 +0000 UTCI have a very spooky story about this film and the day that I saw it 11 years ago or whenever it came out 👀 would love to share. Can’t wait to listen in the morning hope you are all ok my darlings. Have lovely weekends x

2024-10-05 23:36:38 +0000 UTCI love this podcast so much. 😭 I can’t believe it took me so long to sub to y’all’s Patreon. I’ve been super into the episodes about mysterious deaths. I hope that for the month of October we’ll be blessed with more episode like that. Would love to hear your opinion about the missing 411 phenomena!!
