Valek Haunts The First Images From ‘The Nun 2’

In the next chapter of The Conjuring franchise, Valek, the evil entity at the heart of The Nun, Valek, is returning to haunt Sister Irene. Today, the official Twitter account for The Nun 2 unveiled the first images, and Valek looks as terrifying as the last time we saw her when The Nun premiered in 2018.
