Comedian Matt Rife says he bought 'Conjuring' house, occult museum

1 of 4 | Matt Rife says he bought the house and occult museum that belonged to the late paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Comedian Matt Rife has announced he bought the Connecticut house and occult museum that belonged to the late Ed and Lorraine Warren, whose paranormal adventures are featured in the Conjuring, Annabelle and Nun horror movies. "I have officially purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren's home and Occult Museum, including being the legal guardian for at least the next 5 years, of the entire haunted collection including THE ANNABELLE DOLL, with my good friend @eltoncastee!!" Rife posted on Instagram, along with a photo of him and Castee posing with the supposedly demonic doll and other photos of the Warrens at home. "If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted. You also may know The Conjuring films are my favorite scary movies of all time. So I'm incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history. Ed and Lorain Warren arguably put demonology and paranormal into the mainstream and are the very heart of some of the most famous haunted stories of all time, The Conjuring House, Amityville Horror, et..." Rife said he and Castee plan to open the house for overnight stays and the museum for tours some time in the near future. The Conjuring Universe began in 2013 with The Conjuring and was followed by numerous sequels and spin-offs featuring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Conjuring: Last Rites is set for theatrical release on Sept. 5. Ed died in 2006 and Lorraine died in 2019. The Hollywood Reporter said the house had been open to the public until Lorraine's death, but closed afterwards due to zoning issues.

'It Ends With Us' editor complained 'SMH' about Blake Lively's approval rights for sex scenes, unsealed texts show

As they raced to complete the blockbuster movie "It Ends With Us," one editor told another that he was shaking his head over Blake Lively's final-cut approval for her character's sex scenes. "SMH," editor Robb Sullivan told co-editor Oona Flaherty, according to a text chain unsealed Friday as part of Lively's federal sexual-harassment lawsuit against costar and director Justin Baldoni. In the chain, Sullivan is remarking on Lively having final approval for not only her own sex scenes in the movie, but those of the young actor playing her character's teenage self in flashbacks. The brief text chain, dated four months before the film's 2024 release, hints at the tension surrounding Lively's demand for control over the most sensitive scenes. It begins with Sullivan and Flaherty celebrating winning a PG-13 rating. "Woot!" Flaherty texts, to which Sullivan responds, "Woo hoo," and "I'll drink to that! Of course, I was planning on drinking anyways…. :)" Sullivan is not a party to the lawsuit; he did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Lively's 163-page lawsuit accuses Baldoni of sexual harassment, retaliation, and attempting to damage her reputation and her lifestyle businesses by orchestrating a surreptitious social media attack campaign. Baldoni has denied the allegations, including in a now-dismissed $400 million countersuit that alleged she engaged in a "hostile takeover" of the production. Lively's lawsuit is being aggressively litigated against by Baldoni and his co-defendant production company Wayfarer Studios. In mid-July, the judge ordered Lively to turn over three years of her business income records to Baldoni. Lively's lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial on March 9 in federal court in Manhattan. The text chain released Friday had originally been turned over to Lively's legal team by Baldoni in response to one of her subpoenas, according to legal filings. Dated April 18, 2024, it now remains redacted to hide the contact information of the participants. They include a "J B," who does not comment on the exchange, and does not appear to include Lively, who is referred to as "Blake." "Honestly, it's all about control," a participant identified as "Henny Grace" writes at one point in the chain. The text chain was originally uploaded to the lawsuit's case file by Lively's team as a sealed exhibit addressed to US District Judge Lewis Liman, the Manhattan judge handling the case. It was part of Lively's efforts to serve Sullivan with a subpoena. Lively's process server had been unable to serve Sullivan in person after five visits to his California address in mid-July, according to a July 28 decision signed by Liman. "The process server attempted to serve Sullivan both during the day and after work hours but did not receive an answer, despite lights and television being on in the residence," Liman wrote in allowing the process server to tack a copy of Lively's subpoena to Sullivan's door. Lively's attempts to serve subpoenas have been the subject of heated litigation in the last month. On July 26, Liman wrote that Lively has withdrawn her subpoenas to Google and X seeking the account information of five content creators who had been critical of her role in the lawsuit. The five content creators had all filed motions to quash Lively's subpoenas.

Lindsay Lohan Admits It's 'Frustrating' Being Pigeonholed By Past Roles: 'Give Me the Chance'

Lindsay Lohan is opening up about her feelings of being pigeonholed by roles she's played in the past as a longstanding actress in the entertainment industry. After starring in 1998's The Parent Trap when she was 12, Lohan's career skyrocketed. She went on to appear in many more beloved projects, including Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, and she is next up set to reprise her role in the former film with the 2025 followup Freakier Friday. More from The Hollywood Reporter Julia Butters Takes on the A-List - Again Anthony Anderson "Regrets" If 2003 Lindsay Lohan Interview "Intended as Comedy" Was in "Poor Taste" Lindsay Lohan Wants to Do "Some More Serious, Dramatic Roles" After 'Freakier Friday' In a Saturday profile with The Times U.K., Lohan admitted that she 'wanted to take a minute' to herself, which saw her shy away from leading roles from 2013 until 2022. 'I was losing that feeling of excitement about doing a film, and I wanted to live my own life for a bit, figure out how to have a more private life, a real life,' she explained. 'I wanted to wait to get that itch again.' A new project Lohan is admittedly excited about is her upcoming Hulu Drama Count My Lies, where she will star and produce. Still, when reflecting on her career thus far and asked if she felt 'pigeonholed,' she replied, 'Yeah, I do.' 'I was so thrilled to work on A Prairie Home Companion, and yet even today I have to fight for stuff that is like that, which is frustrating. Because, well, you know me as this — but you also know I can do that. So let me! Give me the chance,' Lohan said. 'I have to break that cycle and open doors to something else, leaving people no choice. And in due time, if Martin Scorsese reaches out, I'm not going to say no.' At the Los Angeles premiere of Freakier Friday, Lohan told The Hollywood Reporter that moving forward in her career, she would '​​like to take on some more serious, dramatic roles,' further noting that she felt a bit of pressure to stick to the rom-com genre. 'I love doing romantic comedy because that's where my home is and I feel like where my fans want to see me, but I'd like to take on some things that are different; maybe find something that's an action-packed film. Just really show people a different side of me,' she added.
