10 Small Details You Only Notice Rewatching The Nun

10. Valak's Personal Licence Plate

Though it is only in The Conjuring 2's climax that audiences are given Valak's name through some crafty recollection by Lorraine Warren, there were plenty of little nods and hints scattered throughout the film that spelled out the demon's name. From the ordering of letters on the Warren's bookshelf, to a strange engraving found in the family kitchen, its a name that is subtly dropped in numerous times to help create a truly sinister feel that hangs over the film.

Valak's creepy prescence isn't just confined to the Conjuring however. When Father Burke and Sister Irene arrive in Romania to investigate Saint Cartha's monastery, they meet up with a man named Frenchie and have a scene with the native where Burke puts the pair's luggage on a small van he mistakes as being their mode of transport.

It's perhaps the only humorous scene in the entire movie, but also houses a sinister little easter egg too for eagle-eyed viewers to look out for. The number plate on the small van spells out the demon's name, perhaps showing off the influence it has already managed to cultivate outside the confines of the castle.

It's the second example of Valak's name popping up subtly in the Nun, with the demon's name being spelled out across a set of playground equipment in the scene prior to Sister Irene's introduction earlier in the film.
