During what has so far been a lackluster summer season, James Wan's The Conjuring 2 is a bona-fide hit. And with good reason. Wan is a spectacular horror director, working with two solid actors in Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as they plunder the supernatural cases of the Warrens.

As we noted in a feature last week, there are a few tricks in horror movies that, thanks to endless repetition, just aren't scary. This is particularly true for the haunted house genre, which is a group of movies that have collectively featured thousands of beds floating in the air and possibly millions of chairs moving all by themselves.

Although Hollywood continues to produce some genuinely terrifying horror films to this very day, some scares simply don't work as well as they used to.

James Wan’s The Conjuring 2 is certainly based on true life events, specifically Ed and Lorraine Warren’s investigation of the Enfield Poltergeist, but anyone who sees the film will recognize its departure from reality.
