The Warren’s Haunted Pokémon Artifact Room | The Conjuring x Pokémon
It’s spooky season — my favorite season — and with the release of The Conjuring: Last Rites, it feels like the perfect time to dive into one of horror’s most infamous universes. But tonight, we’re adding a Pokémon twist.First, we’ll explore the real history behind Ed and Lorraine Warren, America’s most famous paranormal investigators. From the Perron family haunting that inspired The Conjuring, to the Enfield Poltergeist, the Amityville Horror, and their infamous Occult Museum, the Warrens dedicated their lives to confronting the paranormal — and locking away objects too dangerous to remain in the world.But what if their museum didn’t just contain haunted dolls and cursed relics… what if it held Poké Balls? What if Ed and Lorraine Warren had to “catch ’em all” — not to train, but to contain the most haunted, cursed, and terrifying Pokémon of all time?Join me as we take a guided tour through The Warren’s Pokémon Artifact Room:👻 Banette & Mimikyu – Pokémon counterparts to Annabelle, haunted dolls brought to life.💀 Yamask & Cofagrigus – spirits and coffins carrying the weight of death itself.👁 Shuppet & Spiritomb – entities that feed on fear, hatred, and the souls of the damned.🎈 Drifloon & Froslass – predators that lure children and travelers to their doom.🕱 Darkrai & Giratina – nightmare demons and cosmic horrors too powerful to ever be free.For the Warrens, these wouldn’t be Pokémon — they’d be prisons for curses, tragedies, and things far beyond human understanding.So close your eyes, step carefully, and join me on a tour of The Warren’s Pokémon Artifact Room. Just remember… some Poké Balls should never be opened.⭐️ VaultX - Protect your trading card collection.
