Vera Farmiga on The Conjuring: Last Rites, Final Warrens Movie

Vera Farmiga is always a little worse for wear after leaving The Conjuring universe.

That held true as she and Patrick Wilson filmed their last go-round portraying real-life psychic researchers Lorrain Warren and Ed Warren in The Conjuring: Last Rites. For Farmiga, specifically, it was the final chance for a signature eerie behind-the-scenes occurrence to show up, with the Bates Motel alum revealing she’s been the recipient of multiple seemingly unexplained injuries across the film series. 

“Yeah, I get battered,” Farmiga admitted to E! News’ Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview, sharing a photo displaying a cross-shaped bruise on her leg that appeared during filming. “That happens every time we do it. It’s just these inexplicable bruising shapes that occur on my body. It just is what it is.”

But there’s a reason she and Wilson don’t often reveal the real hauntings they have faced in the more than a decade working on The Conjuring movie.

“We don’t like talking about it,” she added, “We’re caught between a rock and a hard place—sensationalizing this and selling a movie.”
