Enfield Revisited.

and hopefully, a movie deal. 

I'd propose that the article about the 70's incident is really part of what some mainstream outlets
get involved with. Warner Bros. funded a 'scary' movie called 'The Conjuring' and in the first weekend
of showing, it doubled it's budget.

Because of it being a hit, a sequel 'The Conjuring 2' came out in 2017 and it was loosely based on the
Enfield poltergeist incident. This movie equalled it's $40 million budget in it's first weekend.

The male and female stars are in both movies and 'The Conjuring 3' is supposedly in the making.

Since many areas of the media have given up the ghost on reporting news, subtle promotion of shows,
movies and books is sometimes seen as the way to go. However, these same outlets believe that trickery
is better than out-right advertising and so creates a narrative with what seems, individual non-connected
stories.

Beneath this steady drip of a certain genre is a plan, a larger scheme to generate interest that a television
show, a book or movie can sate. It's old-hat and gone on for years.

Quote:The Conjuring Universe explained –The Conjuring 3, Annabelle, The Nun, The Crooked Man and more.

'We're all aware of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe, even the Stephen King
shared universe (and to a lesser extent The Dark Universe, which isn't working out quite so well last we heard).

But bubbling along in the background is another potentially massive shared universe that so far is doing a
great job of making a lot of money from a series of relatively low-budget titles.

So what's it all about? Here's everything you need to know about the expanded horror franchise The Conjuring
Universe, and how it'll be taking horror cinema by storm.

The first Conjuring movie was something of a surprise hit in 2013. It's directed by James Wan who made a
massive success of the Saw franchise (which just had an eighth movie) and the Insidious franchise (about to
get a fourth), and who has more recently shifted over to massive blockbusters, directing Fast and Furious 7
and currently working on Aquaman for DC.

The Conjuring Universe is his baby and while he's only directed the two Conjuring movies, he's producer on
the two Annabelle movies and a writer and producer on the upcoming Conjuring spin-offs The Nun and
The Crooked Man, all of which will be made by New Line for Warner Bros.

Wan even says he'd be up for bringing all the characters together in an Avengers-style mash-up movie.
"If I could pull off an Avengers of the Conjuring universe, I would love for that to happen," he said. "We'll see.
It could be fun."...'
SOURCE:

And the above is true, a web of strategically-placed reports that are vaguely connected to something that
turns up later and is assumed by the viewer/reader to be eerily coincidental. Most of the 'Man-Bites-Dog'
stories or fluff-pieces are generated this way with the initial point far away from where the story ends up.

Example: Important movie star comments during an interview about his latest movie, that he rarely strays
from outside of Hollywood due to rumours of drive-by robberies from vehicles waiting at a red light.

An article appears two weeks later (it's not time-sensitive and ideal for slow-news days)... and it reports
on the worrying trend of good, middle-class people being robbed in Los Angeles when they're waiting at
the lights by MAGA baseball-cap-wearing hoodlums.
The same story drops in the original comment from the movie star.
...................................

But this one is about the Enfield poltergeist is really a small part of generating interest of a movie 'Universe'...
an X-Files Mulder and Scully-type of multiple horror-solving films.
So don't believe what you read!!
