The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It director Michael Chaves unveils a scrapped post-credits scene was intended to set up another movie in the ever-growing Conjuring universe of films.
The Conjuring films are based on the real-life paranormal investigations of Ed and Lorraine Warren. The first film debuted in 2013 to critical and audience praise before going on to rake in over $300 million worldwide.
In a new interview, Chaves says the decision to remove the filmed post-credits scene was made for a more “finite” finish to the trilogy about paranormal investigators Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga).
We actually had [a post-credits scene]. I’ll keep it a mystery as to what it was because it may kind of be coming back in another form. We were really proud with the ending and it felt like a real kind of finite close to the story.
Not to say that there isn’t a door open for many more Warren cases and Warren adventures, but there was something about this that just felt like ending a trilogy, it just felt nice and solid with this ending.

Chaves went on to say that the scene was intended to tease their plans for expanding on ideas and villains set up by The Conjuring 3, but no specifics were given. Chaves is happy to have this feel like an ending.
I’m glad that we didn’t put it in because it does seem sometimes like you’re being kind of roped into the next one. Even though I do love that as a movie fan, there was something nice about kind of ending without it.
