(massive spoilers for both TFTC Presents Demon Knight and The Nun beyond this point!) Earlier I saw The Nun and in it there's a clear homage to Demon Knight that may just be a coincedence but also seems too similar and strong to just be. In The Nun, there's a relic involving the blood of Jesus encased within it and is later used as a weapon against the main antagonists of both and even in the same fashion, when the blood is spat on them (The Collector in DK and the titular Nun in both respective movies). Loved The Nun as well BTW, I've enjoyed all the Conjuringverse films so far and this was no different. Was awesome to see DK referenced like that, which goes to show the staying power it has 23 years later. |

I saw The Nun. It was enjoyable, but I liked the Conjuring movies better. This just felt like a big b-movie to me.

I've enjoyed all The Conjuring films so far, IMO the best so far has been The Conjuring 2. Funny enough The Nun in some ways felt like a TFTC episode, particularly the ending. I'd be interested to see how Crypty's beginning and ending monologue for it might've been like had it indeed been a TFTC episode or part of the TFTC Presents movie line-up.

Well it had a pretty strong sense of humor which was similar to EC I guess. |

Without spoiling the ending, the ending came off somewhat comparable to one of EC's infamous just desserts type endings.

Wow! That's a really cool Easter egg!

Got to wonder if the writers are Demon Knight or even TFTC fans.

I wouldn't be surprised if the writers of this film are fans of or were influenced by the show or DK.

I wouldn't doubt it either, TFTC was so popular back then and I'm sure many of it's fans went on to become professional writers.
