From Ed Warren’s Museum office: Tony discusses The Conjuring Universe

other guys Tony spirit here again I noticed on the other videos that I've done it seems like I smack my lips or something after I say something which is really annoying to me when I washed it back so I'm gonna try not to smack my lips make a lot of noise in my mouth it's hard it's hard when you're alone in a place like this and it's quiet and you could just fill your mouth getting dry I have Diet Pepsi here so maybe that'll help but I apologize if I sound if i annoy anybody with the smacking of the of the throat or the mouth lips I'll try not to do it so much I also noticed that when I play it back sometimes I sound like Robert De Niro which I guess isn't that bad of a thing to sound like a famous actor which brings me to the conjuring movies and the nun and the Annabelle movies you know it was a great great thing that happened to Lorraine that's at a latter part of her career when the producers contacted Lorraine and said hey you know we have a treatment for a movie on one of your cases that you did a long long time ago back in the 70s and Lorraine asked what it was and they said his step it's that bewitched farmhouse hey Lorraine said oh you mean the parent case and they said yeah the farmhouse in Harrisville Rhode Island the actual story behind that ladies and gentleman is fascinating and Ed Warren played a tape of an interview with Carolyn Perron - a producer a guy who was involved in the movies back in the eighties 70s I think in the 80s but the case was her from 1973 with Aunt Lorraine when they went there but yeah cassette tape he said I want to play this back for you and he played the interview of Carolyn Perron and Ed talking about what happened in that house and in Rhode Island after ed stopped the cassette deck which is like this I used to use one of these after you stop the tape he said well if we can't make a movie out of that I don't know what we can and this man must have took it and kept it in him and thought about it because it was until 2009 that Lorraine got that phone call and they wanted to do it they wanted to do the treatment of the be wish'd farmhouse it used to call to be witched farmhouse a woman was a model Carolyn Perron originally I believe from New York her husband was a I believe a truck driver and five children in the house and they they did go through a lot of stuff I don't know all the details but I know some of the details was caroler herself she endured a lot of stuff one thing that happened this is all stuff that you'll you won't hear about in the movies and if you want to know more about the case just get the book house of dire house of darkness house of light by Andrea Perrin she's all over the internet with her books and with her appearances so it won't be hard to find Andrea Andrea Perrin pron but some of the things that Carolyn experienced were one day she was sitting it wasn't in a movie so this is something you've never heard before maybe she was sitting in a chair and she had an orange that she was going to peel with a knife and the first thing she did is she cut into the orange how much you cut into the orange blood seeped out of the orange red blood not juice not orange juice it was blood and a Krypton to her foot and she's like geez what the heck is all this another time she's like - she lifts a fireplace to enjoy the warmth of the fire these two psychic light rods came down we call them psychic light rods come down from the ceiling like this and put out the fire and all the all the ashes and stuff went into the room she was out in the garden with her tomatoes and with her plants and something pushed her and known for us pushed her over onto a stake and impaled around the stake and it hurt her but it didn't didn't kill her of course but it hurt her she was in the closet one time sifting through clothes and the coat hangers somehow miraculously or in miraculously whatever came off she started beating around her back strange sounds noises marks I would appear on her body and the children too would have these kind of encounters and also she would closed the door with a chain lock and the door would be found open even though I was an old farmhouse she knew that she had secured it very securely at one time she's sleeping in bed and she awakens and there's an old hag at the foot of her bed a ghostly figure with she said oh she could describe it as like the head was off off where should be hanging on the shoulder area of this old hag and she said she can remember a phrase that she repeated and it was i'll drive you out with fiery brooms drive you mad with death and gloom over and over to Carolyn which of course freaked her out freak anybody I wouldn't it so that was just some of the things that happened but if you want to know more read that book house of darkness house of light by Carolyn Perron that's good book so that was how the conjuring movies started they call up Lorraine two of the writers would call up and talked to Lorraine for a long time Chad Chad and Carrie haze good guys they call up and say Lorraine key tell us about what happened she'd tell him and she'd say hey what do you feel in the house and then they'd ask what what's an exorcism like what's a ghost what's this what's an apparition they'd ask all these questions and Lorraine would answer and then we went out to see the filming so not to see the filming of the conjuring right first time ever to see a movie now when I got on the set with Lorraine I felt kind of out of place because I'm not to surgery as a movie I'm really a nobody now I'm in Hollywood with all these big-time people with New Line Cinema Warner Brothers all these big shots you know I'm gonna be rubbing elbows with Patrick Wilson Vera Farmiga Ron Livingston and others Lili Taylor all fabulous actors right and Who am I I'm just a guy from Connecticut who nobody knows so I felt kind of out of place James Wan the director he had done saw and he did it's insidious so I walked into this video village they call it it's a room to the side rather all the publicist some of the assistants directors reporters would watch family of people would watch so I walk in and I felt really out of place they're saying come on in the video village town it was the rain you're all friendly they're all nice to me Rob Colwyn people like that Peter Safran Walter Hamada who's a big shot it's a new line now I think he runs DC Marvel so I walk in and I see a director's chair you know they got the cloth on the back of canvas and it says lorraine warren and that other people came Zwan at all these people's names on it and they said your chairs over there Tom and I look over and it had my name on it printed just like Lorraine's and on the other side was a logo of the conjuring with the tree hanging and I freaked out I said to myself wow they they thought enough of me to give me a chair and he didn't give me a chair all the people they were great there was a stunt coordinator there named Joel Kramer big guy probably about 6 for about 240 he's my most friendly guys I met there and he was so nice to Lorraine and myself he was like a gentle giant you know he's the kind of guy you'd never want to mess with and well I learned later that he was the stunt double for Arnold Schwarzenegger and all movies he's built about as good as Schwarzenegger which is saying a lot so I look like a next to him but he was a nicest kind of world Joel and I really I really miss talking to Joel because he was so so good to us man to arraign and James Ferrara who is a publicist out there super super friendly to us and then I got to eat in the commissary at Warner Brothers where you know they used to do in the Johnny Carson used to make jokes about the commissary so I went to the commissary with Lorraine and James Ferrara I think this was for the conjuring - I can't remember now and sat I'll tell you what the food is really good there the food is good and all the people there were just so nice Gina Gina Solis was very nice to us she was a public person assigned to us from from Warner Brothers and she was almost like we were family so you say what you want about Hollywood and Hollywood in itself and the legend of Hollywood and how the people are phonies and everything but they weren't funny to us and that kind of made me feel really nice and Lorraine feel really good about working with these folks because little did we know that it would be such a hit I remember saying to them what do you think an opening weekend would be pretty good for this movie I remember them saying to me well we'd be happy if we made 18 million on the first weekend the first day alright first weekend we'd be happy and they made 43 million I think 41 or 43 million so they really did a great job they made their money back and more a lot goes into making movies a lot I didn't know was that bad I'm here crazy we walked into Wilmington Delaware studios those of Screen Gems studios where they filmed conjuring one when we walked in it was just like a big giant warehouse like you know like five times the size of Costco and the guy says to us who brought us ovaries as well yeah the house is over there I said what do you mean house he was oh we built a house inside here a Victorian house there and apparent farmhouse and as are you kidding me and they walked this over and it was an actual Victorian house that they built from scratch a fully working house they had electricity wiring they had water in the sink I walked through this I couldn't believe it all the furniture and everything so you know me I'm a jerk I picked up like a cup no don't touch that that's that's continuity it's gotta be the same way in the next scene so you kind of learn things and I watched them work I watched very work and I watched para Patrick Wilson work and love Rob Livingston in one thing Ron Livingston it was at nighttime kind of and we were like in this back area he's just pacing back and forth back and forth Ron he's studying his lines I know that's what he's doing I found out later but he was like but nice that he was the guy who played Roger Perron mr. father he was like the most sincere and humble guy you wanted me you know I reckon see the thing is they're regular people they're not like yeah you see him on the screen you think they're different they're just regular people you couldn't wait to get back to his family he told us at the end of filming he says I gotta get home I got a six week old I think he said child I gotta get back to my house but he's a nicest guy in the world he was so humble you know he's a guided man they're brothers office space and many many other movies and I said to him I said you know when I saw office space I said I couldn't stop laughing I almost had a heart attack couldn't breathe he just looked at me you know it's very kind of you to say that to me very humble Vera Farmiga I was scared of her at first you know that famous sort of person she was she she's done such movies with George Clooney up in the air she did just so many movies with so many famous people the departed you know it had Leonardo DiCaprio in it Matt Damon Jack Nicholson she worked with so many famous people and in the morning we walked in Lorraine and I into the foyer area of that house and there's always people bustling hustling around camera guys and setting up wiring and all this stuff I see Vera walk in mérida mirror she walks in she sees me holding my little Canon camera that I had she sees me and I'm scared like I don't want to say too much to her you know and she say yeah she grabs it she grabs a camera from me let me get a picture did she call someone over and says take a picture of us and then she got close to me and you know put her face up against mine like she really liked me and we took a couple photos and you know the feeling you get from not knowing any celebrities to them treating you like you're one of them was fabulous Patrik most down-to-earth guy you'd ever want to meet Patrick Wilson he's an athlete he's a singer he was a dancer an actor of course he could do everything I still watch him in his TV show you could check it up maybe I Netflix I think it's hot now called the gifted man and he was really really good at it gifted in fact he played a gifted doctor and it was fabulous fabulous and so everyone there treated us like gold on the contrary - same thing you get the same kind of feeling when they were filming that same warm feeling Oh James wah would come in hug me hey Tony how are you James one at that time it was probably worth 50 million dollars rubbed elbows with all the big directors all the big hotshots in Hollywood he comes up to me and hugs me as hey how you doing hey good to see you how did you sleep ok that kind of thing that's how these guys are yeah so they may have a lot of money that's what's the only thing that separates him from the average person is they make a lot of money but so what I think they earn it because we got on a set one morning at 10 o'clock Lorraine and I and Patrick and we're already there studying their lines we left at about 7 o'clock p.m. and they were there until 10 11 o'clock that night I don't think I paid a lot and it's a lot for even for the hours that they work but they're dedicated to that work they want to make it perfect I remember patching one point said okay guys let's make movie magic he meant it let's make movie magic just before the scene where Patrick and Ron Livingston are holding Carolyn Perron which is Lili Taylor and trying to get her out of the house and then she gets thrown back at the doorway I'm Condrey one gets thrown back by an invisible force throwing back words and then she's dragged that's the scene they just filmed who just ready to film when he said let's do movie magic so that was super super exciting oh and then he put us up at a nice hotel now you know people may think I'm a celebrity I'm not not really Lorraine was it was not me not Judy my wife but they said okay we're gonna put you up at a hotel all right so I'm figuring like Halliday and I'm figuring okay put us up at Holiday Inn every all right Beverly Hilton the Beverly Hilton that's a first-class hotel it's a five-star Frank Sinatra stayed there Marilyn Monroe stayed there in fact Esther Williams famous swimming movie star from the 40s swam in that pool they hold the Golden Globe Awards in one of the ballrooms their first class all the way we looked out on the balcony and we could see the pool that Esther Williams swam in that kind of stuff you know guys is surreal to me it's like you know you read about these people you read about these things and then to see it and experience it and be there is such a thrill especially the Judy and me because we weren't used to it all of our meals were paid for by Warner Brothers the hotel was paid for by Warner Brothers everything took us out to dinner treat us like like we were celebrities you know if we were gold it wasn't us who's Lorraine yeah we went out to see Annabel comes home the filming of Annabel comes home we walk on the set there's Patrick Wilson there's vera farmiga there's a kind of grace the young girl who played Judy there's the young boy that played me Anthony and then there's Michael I think it's Michael Jimmy know you played was it Tom was it Tommy I can't remember his name now but I had the one he said he had had balls yes balls I was Annabelle come home he was there they're all so friendly all so nice and the two girls have played serif' Kathy's Surrey Fay I believe they were fabulous people and then we watched a filming then we had like a day off I think then there was the premiere we get out of the chauffeured limousine let me just take a quick thing of tire Kokila I'm tight Pepsi Oh before I continue on I just want to say something it's kind of weird you know any comments I got on people who corrected Lorraine when in the show she said Jimmy Page's the drummer do you know me people laughed at that and so wow he's a guitarist not a drummer you know guys I want you to know something Lorraine was born in 1927 we're lucky she even knew Jimmy Page's name you know do you guys know who Frankie laine is hey guys you guys know who really prima is I bet you don't you have to go look it up that's just two people out of millions that Lorraine new and new oven sang Swanston you know the song I'm always a Sunday Monday and always you know that song Sunday Monday always famous song that you don't know who sang it I bet you don't even know the guy whose name you sang it Bing Crosby you got pipes to look him up so everything's relative you know because Lorraine doesn't know that Jimmy Page was a guitarist big deal it's a surprising that she even knew who he was at all but she can even mention his name so that's what I mean about the hypercritical stuff that I can't stand but getting back to Annabel comes home then they had the premiere that night we get out of the limo and they're screaming Judy's name now judy is more shy than anybody she's very bashful when it comes to publicity she's the opposite of Lorraine Lorraine loved the camera she left publicity love speaking to people but judy was a little bit more is a little bit more reserved that me I don't I like I like people coming at me was celebrity hey how are you like I can't like that so I got out of the limo Trudy gets a limo and there's screaming for Judy can you sign this for us Judy and she didn't know what to do I said Jay just sign it for him with the with the magic marker just signed the picture and as a picture of Judy or a picture of Judy and me or a picture of Annabel you know so we did all that on a big long line of people screaming at us then we went in to see the premiere and it was fabulous to watch it for the first time to see it and there's one thing I caught in there that like I said I think in another video that nobody caught and to me that's it's synchronicity is it's just more than coincidence to me and anybody who knows me knows that I'm a big Elvis and a big s Elvis Presley by the way not Costello Elvis Presley you know he only sold about you know four billion records and the Beach Boys now the Beach Boys I grew up with because as an Italian kid from the East Coast the West Coast was like a dream place to me like I said before my father was kind of a tyrant strict and how do you break out of something like that how do you fantasize about other things well the first time I heard that record surfing Safari I went nuts and the other side was 409 and I was a big car guy even at 12 and 13 years old I loved cars so did my brother so the Beach Boys I must have seen him 50 times in concert I have every single album that they ever did and in fact I was able to touch my club's hand the last time on stage he doesn't know who I am no nothing doing but the thing is in that movie Annabelle comes home they had a bunch of vinyl records sitting on a table all covered up except for a little trip fanned out just a little bit and I think they're on the camera for maybe a tenth of a second and guess what one of them albums was it was endless summer by the Beach Boys and they didn't know I liked the Beach Boys why the Beach Boys in there it's doesn't make any sense of all the albums and this is the nineteenth this was supposed to be 1969 and you know in the summer was it or 70s and this summer was probably and then Vera Farmiga had a Bates Motel TV show and she didn't know I'd like to Beach Boys either one of the songs that was playing and one of the episodes wouldn't it be nice by the Beach Boys another movie she was in I pick up on this stuff nobody else does but other movies she was in was with I think as a commuter it was a commuter with Liam Neeson right at the beginning of the TV of the movie he wakes up from his bedroom and don't worry baby by the Beach Boys is planning on the radio why why they picked those songs you know it was kind of crazy but getting there that's to me that synchronicity is something that's beyond coincidence it means something then in a movie Annabelle comes home there was a box and I'm gonna show you the box on time I got it home it's a religious box that we carry with us on cases it's a wooden box that I'd had with a cross on the front and inside there's a deliverance prayers there's Blessed holy water there's Blessed incense Pontifical incense rosary beads and another cross that was in the movie that box where I think it was Patrick Wilson reached for it that same kind of box and I never told anybody about the box top box is not on a TV show wasn't focused on it shown on anything at any TV shows away and they picked that box to the cross on top of it I'm gonna show you that box sometime I forgot to bring it today it's mind boggling now I want you guys to watch Annabel comes home at some point and if you could freeze frame it when that box shows up you'll see what I mean it's and we we commented on it in the movie at the premiere when we watched it but I said look at Jude she said yeah the box how'd they know about it I said I don't know now the movies Hannah Bell and Annabel creation we didn't have anything to do with it all in fact we never anything to do with Annabel comes home really but they did call us up and give us the premise of what the movie was gonna be about they said we want to make it kind of realistic they did the beginning was real where Eddie picked up the doll from the two nurses two nurses in Harford he picked up the doll with Lorraine and brought it back to the museum for safekeeping that's true that's very true but Annabel Annabel creation I'm sorry to say weren't more authentic they never contacted Lorraine or myself or Judy about those movies they just another direction with them totally and then none also but none we weren't contacted about at all but you know that's Hollywood for you they know more than I think they know you not I mean they know what makes a good movie sure they took dramatic license but they made it an entertaining movies it's not a documentary like I kind of remind people that when they say you know Lorraine didn't speak for eight days what was that what was the case about there was no case where Lorraine didn't speak for eight days if she came out of her room and she wouldn't talk but and this is another thing that's synchronicity she never told us to anyone except I know ed knows Judy knows when Lorraine's dad passed away in 1968 Lorraine stopped talking when he passed away on February 18th of nineteen 68 Lorraine ceased talking she was already married to Eddie judy was already a teenager for nine months she wouldn't talk she was just closed up this is reality this is real and I knew that before the movie ever started that was ever filmed conjuring but in that movie Patrick Wilson says that he says that another thing that movie said because they didn't ask us see he's when Ed says I don't believe in Vampires well he does head believes in vampires he believed in human vampires and he believes in the kind of vampire that could psychically leave its body like a high spiritual person who's knowledgeable enough could leave his body and enter and leave leave his body and go into some other body attached by the silver cord that's a whole nother story lycanthropy but when Patrick Wilson says I don't believe in vampires that's not true I believed in vampires there's things that they got wrong but it's a movie remember it's an entertainment piece not meant to be a documentary not meant to be 100 percent accurate I said it's a piece that they put together themselves well when the rain signed her life story writes over and I remember Ed was already past when she signed his life story rights over they had complete control in the contract to write anything they wanted to write as long as it wasn't derogatory about in the rain why would they make something derogatory about it in the rain anyway they're making movies about it in the rain their cases you know and it's funny people say yeah oh they did David hundreds of cases well it has been on thousands and thousands in the rain they can only guesstimate how many cases there's been but it's in the thousands Edie was like a sponge he was like a sponge when it came to the paranormal realm I said call over the house on any dead come over the house he'd be reading a book on the paranormal and he would be so focused on learning and learning and learning that he could all that he could on the paranormal realm that's what made him so great Lorraine with her psychic ability boys she could see the aura around every person but she could tell by those colors about you she'd look at me she could tell about me she can tell about anybody by the colors of the aura the the brightness of the or the brilliance of the world so that ladies and gentlemen is a quick overview of some of the movies and what it was like going to those movies I hope you enjoyed this video I just gotta say that I'm gonna try to continue on with the videos as best I can I'm gonna get a better microphone trust me it's on the way and what did it three Amazon I should be here Monday or Tuesday but for now I'm using the camera's mic and I don't know I'm not a good editor so do not edit things how do I don't even know how to put writing over there over there videos but I can learn that stuff but the live stream is gonna be coming up soon me and Dan Rivera Dan's very very knowledgeable in Santeria because his family grew up that way he's a Puerto Rican man and his mother and I believe was not more so was involved in Santeria he knows all about it he me talk a little bit about that on the live stream if you ask him but for now ladies and gentlemen I'm going to end the video I'm kind of hungry too oh boy this morning I had a little outlet that I made and a bagel with some butter on it but in any lunch today it's a four o'clock in the afternoon right now here in Connecticut and I'm going to eat lunch but it's if I do out it's gonna have to be outside because we have not opened up yet due to the coronavirus for inside dining so I have to be out in the parking lot somewhere with it with a canopy over us but so what so what but I like to cook like I talked before I I should oh I almost want to have a Cooking Channel to Italian food homemade real Italian food and I'm not gonna brag but I can make pretty good Italian food a lot of people can but I learned from my mom and my mom was good but I gotta tell you a quick story about my mom cooking you're not gonna believe it she was full Italian her parents couldn't hardly speak English my father all Italian his parents could only speak English my mother when she got married to my dad I remember she was a great cook when I was growing up well she got married to my dad December 3rd 1945 she tried to cook him an Italian spaghetti dinner it's kind of funny because you're not gonna believe me I know you're not gonna believe when I tell you how she made it she took Campbell's tomato soup Campbell's tomato soup opens it up heated it up then she took spaghetti out of the box like Ronzoni her prints or something put it on a plate and then she poured the hots she poured the hot soup over the brittle uncooked spaghetti thinking that's how you make spaghetti right hand to God and my father would tell that story my mother was laughs she says yeah you know he's right he taught me how to cook so my dad taught my mother how to cook and she was fabulous so my dad was fabulous too he made and she made homemade raviolis from scratch homemade money got from scratch eggplant parmesan you name it from scratch but we also had regular food - you know roast beef and things like that and steak and all that stuff - in the morning sometimes she when I go to school I was wondering why I had a lot of gas in school when I was a kid growing up she used to make me oatmeal with raisins all the time you know took 20 minutes to make the old oatmeal not to not the not the instant and then there's all times though she'd make me these peach halves and cling peaches in a can and then she would put brown sugar on top the light brown sugar and then put in the oven she'd make all kinds of big big breakfast for my brother and me I guess in that regard it was pretty darn lucky you know so look ladies and gentlemen I know I've been taking a lot of your time but I'm happy that you like the videos I'm trying to be as truthful as I can and everything I tell you I try not to make up anything because why make up stories why make up things that aren't true I try to give it to you straight if I can you know hopefully it's stuff that you can learn from so I'm gonna ask me if I could do a course well I think this is going to be the course all these YouTube videos the seekers of Supernatural shows all that in combination you'll learn hopefully learn a lot about the paranormal realm and how to investigate the paranormal realm and some of my other videos that I'll do in the future too we'll talk more about how to be an investigator I'm gonna be a real good investigator so ladies gentlemen thank you very much and have a great weekend keep that social distancing as much as you can stay safe wear your mask that's all gonna end soon I hope where we'll be getting back to some form of normality you know boy I'm waiting for a new malady to happen in in this country thank you ladies and gentlemen please stay safe
