and the villain cut of The Conjuring 3. Spoilers for the franchise ahead, so be warned. Moving away from the haunted house theme of the first two Conjuring films, The Devil Made Me Do It is more of a demonic detective story in which Ed and Lorraine search for clues that will eventually lead them to the occultist's underground lair.

However, in the trailers, there is a lot of footage that points to an

alternate

story of how the Warrens discover the Occultist's lair. Notice how the trailer shows Ed and Lorraine opening the door together at their altar, compared to the final film where Lorraine finds the room alone after going alone to visit Kastner and he reveals the truth about his daughter and the tunnels to her. In this older version of the film, the location also seems quite different. There is what looks like a tree behind the altar, as well as an animal that could be a goat or even a ram, since we know that the occultist developed her interest in Satanism from the objects that her father collected while investigating the Disciples. of the Ram.

Ed also brings a package with him to the room which he uses to sweep everything off the Occultist's altar in this

scene. In the final film, Ed does not reach the altar room until the end, when he is under the influence of the occultist and attacks Lorraine. And after Lorraine snaps him out of his trance, he smashes the altar with a mallet. Some behind-the-scenes footage also shows a different version of Lorraine going alone to the altar room than the one we see in the finished film. We know this was cut because Lorraine's hair is up in this shot, instead of down like she is in the final film at this point, and she also has a bandage on her hand.

An intriguing deleted scene shown in the trailer, but

never

made it into the final film, is that of Ed and Lorraine during their stay at a motel while investigating Jessica and Katie's case. In this scene, Ed is on the phone, but Lorraine has been distracted by something, a row of eerie shadows outside the motel window, which feel like they're staring at the Warrens. You can tell this is a motel and not the Warren house by the Do Not Disturb sign on the doorknob, and I think this might have been another of the optical illusions the Occultist is capable of performing.

One particularly interesting moment shown in the trailers that sadly didn't make it into the final film was this shot of multiple copies of Lorraine spinning endlessly in the distance. This would have been a visual trick performed by the occultist while he chased Lorraine through the tunnels. This moment was foreshadowed during the opening scenes of David's exorcism, when the camera Drew was filming with was knocked over. As the camera continued to record the monitor it was connected to, an image on the screen began to replicate itself infinitely, in a pattern very similar to what happens to Lorraine in this deleted scene.

In the final film, we get a kind of reduced and somewhat simplified version of this hallucinatory image, with a double of Lorraine appearing in front of her and mirroring her movements. While this was a nice effect that scared Lorraine, it's a shame we didn't show the full sequence at the beginning of the film. Another scene deleted from the trailers are these shots of the police searching for a body. This is the water beneath the cliff where Lorraine almost fell while she was investigating Katie's murder at the hands of Jessica. These scenes were probably cut for pace and timing in the final version;

However, they could also be another indicator of reshoots in the film, because it could explain why in the final film, a bandage suddenly appears on Lorraine's hand after she almost falls off the cliff, even though it didn't seem like it. hurt your hand. when Ed rescued her. While it's possible it's an injury from that fall, it could indicate that something else happened to Lorraine during these deleted scenes. A curious deleted scene in one of the trailers shows Arne standing on the edge of a prison building with a chain around his neck, as if he is about to commit suicide.

In the film, the Occultist tries to get Arne to commit suicide, like Jessica when she ran off the cliff, to complete the curse she placed on him. Some fans were a little disappointed that The Devil Made Me Do It didn't go as deep into the details of Arne Johnson's court trial, and while I doubt it was ever the main focus, there is some behind-the-scenes footage. of Ed addressing reporters outside the courthouse, something that was not in the final film, hinting that more courtroom drama may have been filmed but removed from the finished film. A publicity image of Lorraine, Ed, Drew and Debbie forming a prayer circle indicates another scene that was not found anywhere in the final film.

This moment seems to have appeared around the time the Warrens and the team are trying to discover the key to breaking the curse placed on Arne by the occultist, and I suspect the sentence was cut for time. One major change that might explain why there appear to have been reshoots of the film is that in early versions of the film there was a specific demon that the Occultist communicated with. In the final film, although it is referenced that the occultist summoned a demon, "This demon... is not here by his own will. He was summoned." We

never

see his form and in the end, when the curse is broken, it is a copy of the Occultist who comes to take his soul.

In an interview with SlashFilm, director Michael Chaves said that they originally had a demon that matched the description that real-life David Glatzel and Arne Johnson had given them about the demonic entity they claimed had possessed them. Producer James Wan was on board with the demon and, in fact, a version of the film with the demon exists. However, it seems that the interaction between the demon and the occultist was too complicated and confusing for test audiences, which Chaves attributes to this being the first time a human antagonist has appeared in the franchise. At the time of filming, Chaves hoped the demon would end up with his own spin-off film, but admitted that it simply didn't click and had to be replaced similarly to The Conjuring 2's original antagonist, a winged demon. and horned ended up being replaced by the demonic nun Valak during reshoots.

As Chaves felt bad for actor Davis Osborne who had played the original demon, he decided to cast him in the role of the prison hospital patient who mocks and mocks Arne. The Devil Made Me Do It also originally had a post-credits scene that would have set up a future Conjuring Universe film. In an interview with NME, Chaves revealed that the removed credits teaser was an expansion of the villains introduced in this film; However, like the demon problem, it was confusing and was therefore removed, to give the film a more solid and definitive

ending

. Chaves hasn't yet said what was in the scene, but I wonder if he could have alluded to Valak's return in a fourth Conjuring film, or perhaps a sequel to The Nun.

There were already some teases of Valak in the movie, like the nun figure in Arne's bedroom, but as TITAN BR pointed out in my Things You Missed video, there was also this photograph of the Occultist when he was younger and in the background. Towards the window, there appears to be a mysterious shape that could be a fuzzy nun's habit and something indistinct or semi-transparent. The date of the photograph is 1952, which is the year in which the main events of The Nun take place, something that suggests that the filmmakers want to provoke a possible connection between the two films.

We have already had the demonic nun hidden in the background of a photo from the franchise, for example in the photo that Sister Charlotte showed to Samuel Mullins in Annabelle Creation. Perhaps this post-credits scene would have shown that the Occultist had previously been in contact with Valak in some way. Another possibility is that she was visited by Frenchie, who in 1952 was possessed by Valak during the events of the film The Nun. Alternatively, the credits scene could have expanded on the connection between the Occultist and the Disciples of the Ram, the cult from the first Annabelle movie that was mentioned several times in The Devil forced me to do so.

We know from Father Kastner that the Disciples of the Ram were especially evil and vengeful and that after the cult members were tried and found guilty, the head prosecutor's wife and her baby suffered terrible fates. If any of the cult members are still around or if they can escape the prison, they could target Ed and Lorraine for helping defeat the Occultist, something that could be the setup for the upcoming Conjuring or Annabelle movie. "A master Satanist is not an adversary to be taken lightly." The credits scene could also have been setting up the Crooked Man spin-off movie currently in development based on the haunted turntable villain in The Conjuring 2.

Whatever the scene entails, hopefully we'll get to see it like Chaves said. The scene may return in another form, hinting at being included in an upcoming film or perhaps even as a deleted clip for the film's Blu-ray release.
