The Conjuring
The conjuration 3 : The Devil Made Me Do Itintroduces The Occultist and the pernicious fiend she ’s made a sour buy with - but here ’s an account for why an extra demon was tailor from the film . The late franchise installment portrays the genuine - lifespan 1981 murder compositor’s case of Arne Johnson ( Ruairi O’Connor ) , who infamously cited fiendish self-control as the reason behind his crime . Naturally , evil spirits controlling man and wreaking mayhem are a key part of the pic .
The opening picture even sets the musical note with one of David Glatzel ’s ( Julian Hilliard ) harrowing exorcisms . It ’s already been pointed out that the film omits 41 of Glatzel ’s demon legion from the actual - life story story , but it turns out that those were n’t the only evil spirit leave out of the project . On August 24 , directorMichael Chaves tweeted a abbreviated video of a " lost demon"from the movie during " The ConjuringWatch Party . " It ’s a behind - the - scenes varan snip of actor Davis Osborne play an phantom that was conjecture to impose Arne in his prison cadre . It ’s for sure nervous to watch the tophat - sporting ogre passado from the shadows to offer some eerie determent before retreating back to his cover . As Chaves says in histweet , " Even with this footage on the monitor he [ Osborne ] was really scary . "

Of course , this clipping begs the question as to why the lose ogre was leave out of the film anyway . In June , Chaves assure / Filmthat Osborne ’s character - who the director had also believed would be the subject of a laterConjuringspin - off- had originally been project as a villain that The Occultist ( Eugenie Bondurant ) would be working with in the narrative . He say , " We had a demon that was full - on pulled from little David ’s interview and description . Arnie said he saw the same thing . And it felt like this was going to be the iconic fiend . " But , as rooter now know , none of that came to be . Chaves said in the same interview regarding the film ’s plot and how it would have work on with the lost villain , " We ’re introducing a human adversary , which was the first fourth dimension that ’s ever materialize in the Conjuring Universe . So all of a sudden , [ the ] kinship [ between the Occultist and the daimon ] seemed a fiddling hinky . " He also acknowledge that the adaptation of the movie with Osborne ’s fiend would ’ve over - complicated the plot .
Despite the final outcome , both Osborne and his monster still played minor percentage inThe Conjuring 3 . In the previously mentioned / Filmarticle , Chaves also say that the value worker ended up playing the prison house hospital patient who obsess Arnie . And during the watch party , Chaves revealed - via another one of histweets- that the spirit who torments David inThe Conjuring 3 ’s memorable waterbed sceneis actually the lost demon . queerly enough , Osborne and his neglect character still end up make an wallop . Along with David Glatzel ’s dispossession in the opening sequence , the waterbed and infirmary scenes are some of the motion picture ’s scarier , more jump - suitable moments .
Chaves seems to have made the right call as far as not adding another piece to the plot ; there ’s already quite a bit blend in on within it . The Glatzel - Johnson backstory is flesh out ( as it should be ; it ’s necessary ) , witness meet a new kind ofConjuringvillain in The Occultist , and there ’s even the touching love account component between Ed and Lorraine . All of the firearm work together in the final intersection , but , even so , there ’s already a flock of threads concentrate into one photographic film . It was proficient to use Osborne in another capacity , rework the storyline , and pull up stakes the lost demon in briefly as a sort ofConjuringEaster egg .
