The Conjuring screen-used props on display...

I love spying new movie exhibits when I visit my favourite ArcLight cinemas here in L.A., but you can always tell it's a horror film when there are some creepy toys or a scary doll on display, I mean who in their right mind would let their kids play with these in the first place anyway, you're just asking for trouble.

This fantastic collection of screen-used props are from the new supernatural horror The Conjuring, and were photographed on display upstairs at ArcLight Hollywood on July 12, 2013, a week before the movie is released in the U.S.

This new 70's set horror-thriller from Saw and Insidious director James Wan, stars past Insidious collaborator Patrick Wilson and Bates Motel's psycho mother, Verga Farmiga. The duo play real-life paranormal investigators, 'The Warrens', who become involved in their most terrifying case when they help the 'Perron' family with a disturbing dark presence which is terrorizing their Rhode Island farmhouse.

Probably the highlight of this exhibit was the rather creepy possessed doll prop, which just looks evil. It's not helped by the crayon and hand-scrawled 'miss me?' note that accompanies it either.

If it's scary dolls you like, be sure to also check out these Chucky and Tiffany dolls from Child's Play on display at Universal Studios in Hollywood and Orlando.

If the vintage-looking doll doesn't give you the shivers, maybe a hangman's noose, which can be seen in one of the movie's promotional posters will send a chill down you spine. Also included in this display is a map of Harrisville, Rhode Island where the film is set.

In addition to the classic imagery of scary dolls, this movie also looks like it has some other familiar horror tropes like sinister looking jack-in-the-box toys and creepy antique wind-up monkey toys. Plus you can never have enough crows and black birds to symbolise death.

Also included with the display were some of the instruments and cameras that 'Ed' and 'Lorraine Warren' used in their investigations of hauntings and supernatural phenomena, plus ghostly photographic evidence and the traditional spooky family photos.

    1. Sorry I don't own any of these props featured on my blog, just an admirer of all the exhibits I see on my travels. Maybe keep an eye on sites like PropStore.com in the future, they often do WB Studios auctions!
