Where was The Conjuring filmed?

At the beginning of the movie, the Perron family moves into a creepy old farmhouse with narrow staircases, low ceilings, and an unsettling atmosphere. The family includes Carolyn (Lili Taylor), Roger (Ron Livingston), and their five daughters. As they enter the house, they feel chilly and uneasy. The dog refuses to join them, barking erratically outside as if sensing something sinister. One of the daughters also feels someone pulling at her feet. It sets up an ominous mood as the family goes about settling into their new abode, a home that will drive them to their limits with its malevolent force. The Black River in Pender County served as the setting for the exterior shots of Perron house, located at 405 Canetuck Rd in Currie, USA. The residence is two stories high and covers an area of 5000 square feet. At around a hundred years old, the house features narrow staircases and low ceilings. The Heinzens have renovated the property to welcome curious guests who can stay overnight. If you're interested in visiting The Conjuring filming location, fly into Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and rent a car, it's a 2-hour drive to Currie. Alternatively, fly into Fayetteville Regional Airport (FAY) or Wilmington International Airport (ILM), roughly 1 hour away from Currie.

Ed and Lorraine Warren well-known paranormal investigators, present a seminar at the university to describe different types of paranormal phenomena. Carolyn expresses her concerns to them outside the university, seeking their assistance to confirm her doubts. The scene takes place on the University of North Carolina Wilmington campus. It is a pivotal moment for Carolyn Perron and her family as she turns to paranormal investigators, for help with the unexplainable events that are taking place at their home. Depaolo Hall is an iconic building featured as a backdrop to their conversation. Constructed in 1970, Depaoloa Hall originally served as a cafeteria before being turned into a general-purpose use building and renamed Westside Hall because of its geographic location on campus. The scene was filmed during spring break in March 2012, with production team members scouting different areas in Wilmington to get the perfect shot. Other portions of UNCW also made their way into The Conjuring 2013, such as Lumina Theater in downtown Wilmington. To get to this location on the UNCW campus, take Franklin Street from downtown Wilmington, which leads directly onto College Road and runs through UNWC's main gates. Once inside, visitors will find DePaolo Hall, located at the eastern edge of campus near Wagoner Drive and College Road.

Bathsheba attacks Nancy (Hayley McFarland), and the incident is recorded on camera. The Warrens believe that the footage provides ample evidence to seek permission from the Catholic Church to conduct an exorcism. However, Father Gordon (Steve Coulter) clarifies that since the Perron family is not affiliated with the Church, authorization to perform the exorcism would have to come directly from the Vatican. The scene where Father Gordon and the Warrens meet to discuss the matter was shot at the First Baptist Church of Wilmington located at 411 Market Street, Wilmington, North Carolina. The church is old and dusty, with large stained glass windows that dimly lit the room. There are wooden pews and a small altar at the front.

The church still stands today, after being established in 1808 as the Front Street Baptist Church, which later changed to First Baptist Church after starting several other churches in Wilmington. If you're coming from Wilmington, take Oleander Dr and turn right onto S 17th St. Then take a left on Market St and a right on N 5th Ave. Keep going straight until you arrive at 411 Market Street. The First Baptist Church will be on your left. If taking public transportation, there are bus stops along Delaware Avenue with various bus lines servicing it; take any bus headed northbound towards downtown Wilmington then disembark at Market Street stop. From there, you can walk down Market Street until you reach 411, where you will find First Baptist Church on your left-hand side.

The scene where the Perron family takes refuge at a motel is unforgettable. As supernatural forces wreak havoc on their home, the Perron family is forced to flee and seek safety in a nearby motel. This scene is particularly chilling as it establishes that no matter how hard they try, there is no escape from the demonic forces that have infiltrated their lives. Set at the Carolinian Inn in Wilmington, North Carolina, this scene features striking imagery, the murky darkness of night, and a dated, run-down motel appearance that adds to its horror-filled atmosphere. This location proved to be an ideal setting for creating a sense of eerie suspense and dread for viewers. The Carolinian Inn at 2916 Market St, Wilmington, NC 28403, USA served as the backdrop for the motel scenes. Situated in the heart of downtown Wilmington, it provides access to beaches and downtown attractions like restaurants and museums. It’s just a short drive or taxi ride from any major airport or train station in North Carolina. You can also take advantage of public transportation options, such as bus or light rail services which make stops near The Carolinian Inn.

The final scene takes place in the cellar of the cursed home. Ed, Lorraine, and Brad (John Brotherton) find Carolyn with a knife raised over Christine's (Joey King) body, threatening her life. Lorraine warns them that if they take Carolyn outside, Bathsheba will kill her, so they tie Carolyn to a chair, and Ed attempts the exorcism himself. Lorraine can call Carolyn back by bringing up a unique shared memory with her family. This helps Ed complete the exorcism and send Bathsheba's curse back to Hell, despite Carolyn's earlier attempt to escape.
