The DeFeo's cast in The Conjuring 2

[sherbetbizarre]

Not entirely sure what the thinking is here, as Conjuring 2 is about the Enfield Poltergeist in the UK... and the Warren's had no interaction with the DeFeo's (but then they only had minimal involvement in Enfield!)

Maybe it is a tie-in ... events at the beginning of the film. Remember Ed Warren's mother died on the same day as the murders?

Since Enfield took place the year after the Warren's went to Amityville it would make sense to show the wrap up of that case as it leads into their trip to the UK. Or maybe it's a set up for a 3rd movie? SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.

Or the Amityville case could be the next installment in the series of the Conjuring.

The details of the investigation were not covered in the Jay Anson book but rather mentioned in the final pages so they would not be infringing any copyright issues by delving into the investigation. A good sequence of events would be tying in the DeFeo murders with Ed's mother's death which I previously mentioned occurred on the same date. Flash forward to the Amityville haunting after the Lutz's fled and the Warrens met them through Laura Didio. Then flash forward again to the the Enfield haunting.

Will ‘The Conjuring 2’ Open With the ‘Amityville Horror’ Case?!

James Wan’s The Conjuring is already one of the best haunters ever made. And now he’s back with a sequel, which details “The Enfield Poltergeist.”

But before The Conjuring 2 takes off to London, it will take viewers to Long Island in New York.

We were contacted by Bloody reader Angelo Mancini who reached out to Alexa Najera, one of the stars of The Conjuring 2, in hopes of confirming a new Internet rumor.

@SarahNCortez fans are speculating that the defeo family will be the opening scene for the conjuring 2…can you confirm?

@ItalianBadAss36 I play Allison, not Dawn.

— Alexa Najera (@uhhlexa) December 12, 2015

As shown above, Najera not only responds to the question, but also confirms her character is ‘Allison.’

In the original 1974 Amityville murders, the victims were identified as Ronald J. DeFeo, 43, his wife, Louise, 42, two sons, John, 9, and Mark, 12, and two daughters, Allison, 13, and Dawn 18.

Taking a peak onto iMBD, you’ll also find a character named ‘Dawn,’ played by Sarah Cortez, which would be the DeFeo sister. Also sneakingly hiding on the site are Louise (Jennifer Collins) and Ronald Sr. (Michael DeBartolo), the parents of the original murders, while the sons are not listed (there are a few blank character names, which probably explain it).

What makes this even more exciting is that those familiar with the Amityville case know that Ed and Lorraine Warren – played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, respectively – investigated the alleged haunted house 20 days after the Litz family fled the scene.

How cool is it to find out that The Conjuring 2 could also be a mini-remake of The Amityville Horror, which approaches the subject from the latter half of its history!?

Interesting. When did the 'Litz' famiy move in and did they too have a problem with supernatural forces?

I am of the opinion that there were plenty of other cases they could have used for the sequel let alone one they had the least amount of involvement in.

Spoilers!

The opening scene was in Amityville. The Warrens were doing a seance.
