12 Scariest Movie Moments Of 2016

12. The Painting - The Conjuring 2

The Conjuring 2 is “based on a true story”, which means around 99.98% of it is complete BS. It was still a fun ride, though, and at this stage director James Wan can pull off memorable jump scares in his sleep.

He also loves coming up with creative monster designs too, like the red demon from Insidious or the evil nun from The Conjuring 2. This freaky creation stalks The Warrens after they hold a séance in Amityville – which is typically a bad idea – and for some reason, they decide to paint an eerily lifelike picture of it and hang it up.

Lorraine ends up in a room alone with this painting, and when the lights go low it looks like the nun has stepped out of the frame; things take a turn for the pant wetting from there. In fact, the evil nun was popular enough to warrant a spin-off of her own in the near future.
