The Conjuring: Last Rites’ Post-Credits Scene Gives Homage to the Warrens

The Conjuring: Last Rites has garnered attention for its post-credits scene, which honors the real-life legacy of Ed and Lorraine Warren. The film, positioned as the final chapter in their saga, follows the events of their last major case while setting the stage for a surprising reveal. Though the main story closes on a conclusive note, the extra scene leaves viewers with an unexpected twist about the franchise’s title.

What happens in The Conjuring: Last Rites’ post-credits scene?

After the main story ends, the film closes with a final picture of Ed Warren placed alongside the Conjuring mirror, one of the artifacts tied to their cases. This epilogue reinforces that the series is rooted in the Warrens’ documented investigations, with home videos, family photographs, and real-life footage highlighting their presence beyond the fictional portrayals.

The Conjuring films are based on the Warrens, who were paranormal researchers and demonologists. While their work remains controversial, the movie franchise consistently depicts them as heroic figures facing supernatural threats. By ending with authentic material, Last Rites continues the tradition of tying fictionalized hauntings to real-world inspirations. The credits emphasize that their lives and cases provided the foundation for the stories told across the franchise.

In the post-credits sequence, the haunted mirror takes center stage as a key motif. Last Rites links the mirror to one of the Warrens’ earliest investigations. It threatens their daughter Judy at birth and resurfaces in their later years. The film frames the mirror as the symbolic bookend of their struggles. It portrays the mirror as the constant danger they battle throughout their careers. The story also reframes Annabelle’s appearance as one of the mirror’s haunting visions. This cements the artifact’s role as the core antagonist.

The mirror also provides a narrative explanation for the franchise title. The film identifies it as a “Conjuring mirror,” an artifact allegedly used in rituals to summon spirits. This revelation ties the series name to the mirror itself rather than to individual hauntings.

In reality, the object never played such a sustained role in the Warrens’ lives. It reportedly remains housed at their Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut, after they intervened in a case involving it.
