Screams echoed across east London last night as celebrity guests braved The Conjuring Occult Museum, a spine chilling immersive experience created by Warner Bros. Discovery and New Line Cinema.

The limited run event has been launched to celebrate the arrival of The Conjuring: Last Rites, which lands in cinemas on 5 September.

The 40-minute horror attraction transports fans into a chilling recreation of the infamous artifact room seen throughout The Conjuring films.

Visitors take on escape-room style challenges as the atmosphere darkens and supernatural forces make their presence felt.

Guests must face sinister artifacts including the terrifying demonic nun Valak and the infamous possessed doll Annabelle, both staples of the franchise.
