Episode 50: Cursed Film Sets - The Lord of the Rings & The Nun

This week we have some more cursed movie sets to share with you.
Britt tells us all the mishaps and mayhem behind the scene of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Is it a horror franchise... no, but we love it to much so it can stay.
Alexa revisits the Conjuring universe with The Nun. How could these movies possibly have anymore hauntings jammed in.
