Director Michael Chaves took inspiration from Bram Stoker's Dracula for The Nun 2's goat demon, adding a new monster to the Conjuring universe.
The Big Picture With the franchise having grossed over $2 billion at the box office, The Nun II marks the latest addition to the Conjuring universe and the spin-off sequel recently introduced a whole new monster to the spooky film series. While The Nun II sees the return of everyone's favorite demonic sister, Valak, the film also introduces a horrifying goat demon which appears to act as an extension of her satanic powers.
He went on to explain that the monster was always a part of the story from horror scribe Akela Cooper's first draft. "That monster was already in Akela’s first draft. I love the idea of a goat demon," said Chaves. "I was like, 'Oh man, how do we make this look right?' Because we hadn't seen any real monsters, it's usually much more implied in the Conjuring movies, but I wanted to see more of him.
"I knew Corin drew a lot of inspiration from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and I thought, 'I love that movie.' I really connected with Corin as we talked about that. So I went back, and I loved, in Bram Stoker's Dracula—I don't know if you remember or if you've seen it—the bat creature. The bat creature that comes out of the closet is so awesome, it’s like practical effects, and I was like, 'Oh my god, I gotta do that. I gotta put that type of monster in the movie.
