"The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It" - will be released on June 4 on HBO Max and will be based on a true story. Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren will pursue the case of Aryne Cheynne Johnson and the "devil invasion" he claims. After stabbing his owner, 19-year-old Johnson used this "invasion" as a defense in court: "Devil made me do it" (The devil made me kill him).
Before you see the interpretation of "The Conjuring" of this strange story, here you have a little more information about what happened in the real event.
The murder took place in February 1981, in the small town of Brookfield, which had not seen a murder case after nearly 200 years of existence. Cheyenne Johnson, after an argument with his 40-year-old owner, stabbed the latter several times. Johnson had no criminal record before. His fiancée, Debbie Glatzel, saw the whole event, but came to her defense during the court case.
What happened 1 year ago
To get a full picture of the supernatural background of this issue, we have to go back, 1 year before the murder. Since the summer of 1980, Glatzel's 11-year-old brother, David, had seen "a man with big black eyes, a thin face with animal features and big teeth." He squatted in his bed, screaming, spitting and kicking - David apparently tried to get away from "the knives who wanted to shoot him" and "the hands that wanted to kill him". Glatzel asked Johnson to transfer with her family to help her brother's situation. Her parents even brought a priest to bless the house, but nothing seemed to work. They eventually recruited paranormal Warrens events detectives, who informed them that there were "43 demons inside David."
Johnson and Glatzel left the Glatzel family home because David's problems and behavior became too much for them. According to Johnson, he challenged David's demons to enter his body during an exorcism and killed the owner while he was possessed. Four months before the murder, Lorraine apparently called police to warn them that there was danger to the Glatzel family.
What happened in court and after
Johnson was convicted of first-degree murder, spending five years in prison. He later married Glatzel in 1984 while still serving his sentence. The couple has backed Warrens's version of the story, but Glatzel's brothers, David and Carl, later claimed that Warrens fabricated the "devil invasion" deception to take advantage of David's mental illness.
Curious about the trailer? Of course.
