The Conjuring won't stop haunting viewers anytime soon: the terrifying franchise recently confirmed that The Conjuring 3 is officially in the works with a new director. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the third installation will be directed by Michael Chaves [1], who recently wrapped forthcoming horror movie The Curse of La Llorona.

The first two movies were directed by James Wan, who is behind this year's highly anticipated Aquaman [2]. Wan also previously produced The Curse of La Llorona, which led him to finding his replacement. "Chaves' ability to bring emotion to a story, and his understanding of mood and scares, make him a perfect fit to direct the next Conjuring film," Wan said in a statement.

If it's seemed like a new Conjuring movie comes out every few months, that's actually a pretty fair assessment! The two core movies have since spawned two Annabelle movies — with a third on the way — as well as this year's frightening The Nun [3].

With The Conjuring taking place in 1971 and The Conjuring 2 taking place in 1977, we think it's safe to assume the third movie will launch viewers into the '80s [4], which also falls in line with the trendy aesthetic recently exhibited in Stranger Things [5] and the It remake.
