Andrea Perron decided it was time to tell the world about what happened to her family in their home in Rhode Island. Forty years after it happened, the story she tells in her book, “House of Darkness, House of light” has become the most buzzed about “horror” film in quite a while. Andrea talked to Anthony Agate and Luci Leibfried of Paranormal Review Radio about her book and the new Warner Brothers film “The Conjuring” and what it was like to live through the events chronicled in the movie. The movie had an impressive $41.9 million opening weekend, breaking records for the largest opening for and original horror film and was Warner Brothers largest 3 day opening for a horror film. The reviews of the film have been very positive.
The movie tells about the events that happened to the Perron Family after they purchased and moved into the farmhouse located in Harrisburg, Rhode Island. World renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called in to help the family and the movie focuses on the couple and what they did to help the Perron Family. The movie claims that the Warrens state this was the most terrifying case of their lives.
But what about the story from the families point of view? Andrea is the first person in her family to speak publicly about the events that occurred. In her book “House of Darkness, House of Light” we find that the activity started the very first day that the family moved in. Andrea speaks of a man who appeared in the home that both she and her sister saw, but neither ever mentioned it to anyone else. The family really never spoke about what they individually saw until Andrea wrote the book. The book is divided into three volumes and Andrea goes into detail about the effects of the interaction that the family had with what was in the home. The story begins in Rhode Island, but continues to Georgia, where she says that her mother came to the realization that attachments do occur. “We moved into that house as a family and left as a paranormal family”.
Andrea watched film for the first time with her family and with Lorraine Warren in March of 2013. “The film is literally breathtaking, in that it will rob you of your ability to breathe for moments and it will impale images in your mind that you will remember for the rest of your life.” Andrea described watching the film with Lorraine. “I don’t think of it as a horror film at all.” “My sister and I sat there and cried right through the whole thing, because it was fulfilment of a promise that she made to her husband before he died to have this story told, to find a way to tell this story.” She had wondered if anyone was going to even be interested in the story before she wrote the book. The director wove the fabric of the family’s experience and the Warren’s to create the film.
When the project was first proposed to Andrea, she says she took a leap of faith by signing on to allow the story to be told. Andrea hoped by telling the story it will bring peace and the ability to others to accept their own mortality. “There is a shift happening, people’s eyes, the third eyes are opening.” “There is something that exists beyond our mortal existence. There is a fourth dimension. We have to see the world for what it really is. Great revelations are coming.”
Speaking with Andrea it is very apparent how this experience has affected her. She has a calm exterior which underneath is a wonderful awareness of the world that she expresses in a very poetic way. The movie the Conjuring is full of chills and moments that will make one jump, but when you talk to this amazing woman, you see that this was an awakening of a storyteller who has a message that she was meant to share. If you have seen the movie, you owe it to yourself to read her book “House of Darkness, House of Light”. The book is available on Amazon and the film."The Conjuring" is currently in theaters.
