The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist is a forthcoming 2016 American horror film directed by James Wan from a screenplay by Chad and Carey Hayes, the pair that wrote the first film. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga will return to reprise their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren.
The Warner Bros. backed film had been scheduled for release on October 23, 2015, but it has been pushed back to June 10, 2016 in favour of an unnamed New Line horror film, according to Hollywood Deadline.
The plot will be based upon a series of poltergeist disturbances that apparently occurred in a council house in Enfield, North London, during late 1977. The strange case, the highlight of which was an eleven-year-old girl who repeatedly “levitated” above her bed, was widely reported in the British press and images such as those below later appeared in a book, This House is Haunted: The True Story of a Poltergeist (1980).
