Oh heck yeah!! I love this series.

The Conjuring is still probs my fave, but I realize I haven't seen some of these: The Conjuring 3, Insidious Chapter 3, Insidious The Last Key... I got some catching up to do!

Side note: I love how Insidious uses Tiny Tim's Tiptoe Through the Tulips song.

And I love how James Wan is sitting behind you while you watch Insidious and he knows when you expect a scare scene, but right at that point there is no scary thing and you start to calm down. Then he gets the hell out of you :D

SPOILER ALARM ⚠️ Example in Insidious Chapter 3:
First the man looks out of the window (expected scare scene) but nothing is there ;P
After that you start to think ok there is nothing, but then the girl looks out of the window...

Haha! I totally get what ya mean about Wan playing with expectations of the jump scare. It's never when you think it's gonna happen... it's almost always just after you sigh a sigh of relief that something didn't happen, haha.

So, I watched most of The Conjuring 3 last night — sleep got me. But, from what I saw, I liked it a lot! I think I probs enjoyed it more than The Conjuring 2, but the original The Conjuring is still my fave. I'll finish it tonight, but next up, I'm gonna have to dig into the other Insidious movies I missed!
