The Conjuring 2 may not be as good or frightening as its predecessor, but it spawned one of the most scary demonic entities in modern movie history with Valek, the demon disguised as a monstrous nun. However we aren't here to talk about Valek, we're here to talk about the scene stealing, purple suited Crooked Man.

As the Hodgson family seek refuge from the haunting terrors plaguing their home, they decide to spend a night at their neighbour's house. Unfortunately for them the horror at Enfield is not confined to the four walls of their house, and in an unexpected turn of events, follows them to their neighbours in the form of Crooked Man.

Breaking free from a zoetrope, the Crooked Man haunts Janet Hodgson and attacks Ed Warren in the climax of the movie, bursting from a wardrobe and rampaging across a room to stop him from saving the day.

The impact of Crooked Man in the movie was so strong, and the reaction to him so positive, it has resulted in attempts to create a spin-off movie about the character. So what does that tell you about Botet and his ability to imbue every character he plays with a malicious and mesmerising performance.
