If you’re a fan of James Wan's movies, you’ll definitely be familiar with some of his horror films such as ‘The Conjuring’, ‘Annabelle’ and ‘The Nun’, which are all part of the Conjuring universe.
And in the ‘Conjuring’ universe, you’ll recognise the two titular characters – Ed and Lorraine Warren, two paranormal investigators who investigate other-worldly hauntings and demonic beings.
In case you didn't know, these two characters are actually based on a real-life couple, whose names are also Ed and Lorraine Warren. The storyline in all of Wan's movies was inspired by the Lorraines' real-life cases.
So, you could say that without them, there would not be Annabelle and the likes.
However, it seems that the ‘Conjuring’ universe will never be the same again as James Wan’s main muse, the real Lorraine Warren, passed away over the weekend at age 92.
Ed, meanwhile, passed away back in 2006.
"It is with deep sadness that I must announce that Lorraine Warren has passed away. She died peacefully in her sleep at home last night. The family requests that you respect their privacy at this time," Lorraine’s son-in-law Tony Spera said in a statement on Friday, 19 April.
‘Conjuring’ cast members Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson both paid tributes to Warren via social media following her death.
James also penned a heartfelt post for Lorraine.
“Really saddened by the news of Lorraine Warren’s passing. She was truly one of the sweetest, loving and caring person I’ve ever met — beaming with the brightest spirit,” the Malaysian-Australian director wrote.
“She’s with Ed now. In heaven. Onto their next adventure.”
Many fans thanked Wan in return for introducing both Ed and Lorraine to the silver screen and the intricate world of paranormal monsters.
Rest in peace Lorraine, your paranormal legacy will definitely be passed on for generations.
