Comedian Matt Rife Expresses Interest in Purchasing The Conjuring House
There’s no punch line to this one.
Indeed, Matt Rife really is looking to buy the house in which the true events that inspired The Conjuring horror series transpired.
“I would love to, I’m really trying to,” the comedian exclusively told E! News host Keltie Knight at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards of the possible investment. “I’ve been there once before, and it’s incredible. It’s my favorite scary movie franchise by far. I think I could do incredible things with it.” (For a look at all the stars at the 2024 PCCAs, click here.)
While he quipped he might need to host another tour with “4,000 shows in a year” in order to afford the property, Matt had an easy answer to the question of why a comedian might be attracted to such a staple of the horror industry.
“Comedy and horror are one degree of separation,” the 29-year-old noted. “They’re both great surprise, right? And I think building the anticipation. Look at what Jordan Peele‘s done with the horror genre.”
