HorrorFuel Interviews Eugenie Bondurant, “The Occultist” From ‘The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It’

From director Michael Chaves’ comes The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Ahead of its release on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD later this month, I sat down with model turned actress Eugenie Bondurant to discuss her role as “The Occultist,” the villain of the film.

Behind the scenes, a dark evil lurks pulling the strings, “The Occultist”. Before Eugenie was casting spells and killing people in the third installment of The Conjuring franchise, she was walking the runway and starring in films such as The Hunger Games: Mockingjay
