The Conjuring Movies' Most Disturbing Moments That Had Us Totally Spooked

Not long into the runtime of "The Conjuring," it's clear that there is something incredibly wrong with the immense, wooden wardrobe in Andrea's (Shanley Caswell) room. And if little, sleepwalking Cindy (Mackenzie Foy) bonking her forehead against the doors in the middle of the night didn't seal the deal, it's when we learn the dresser came with the house that we're all but convinced — this fearsome piece of furniture is no good. Ever the careful showman, director James Wan builds tension around the armoire long before we get to this iconic scare. From a kid's perspective, it's exactly the kind of harmless, inanimate object that takes on a frightening aspect in the dark. And by focusing a number of other scares around the wardrobe (including the "hide and clap" game), we are primed and ready when Wan finally plays his hand.

After a slow, unnervingly quiet scene where Andrea, once again, finds Cindy knocking against the wardrobe in her sleep, she tucks her sister into bed. Except, to Andrea's confusion, the doors of the armoire keep knocking rhythmically, all on their own. Andrea approaches the wardrobe as Cindy sits up slowly. Then, her shocked face twists into terror at what she sees. And from Cindy's perspective, we see it too. It's Bathsheba, mouth agape, crouched on top of the wardrobe, ready to pounce. We zoom in on the gruesome image as the witch launches herself down on Andrea ... and then the screaming starts.
