sometimes youre like "hey, remember that lawsuit from years ago where warner brothers would have had to prove ghosts were real, i wonder how that whole thing ended. i should look that up."
and turns out you shouldnt look it up. or at least not when youre gonna be going to sleep within the next hour.
because turns out the legally proving ghosts are real thing is one of the easier things to digest in that clusterfuck of copyright claims.
the warrens are/were bad people who seem to have given away exclusive rights for their lifestory at least twice, maybe thrice, and its all downhill from there
#kai rambles#this is literally me just needing to put these words somewhere#because ive read many articles in the past hour#and wow#just wow#i forgot about the allegations against ed so that was just as horrible to discover as the first time#and i already believe judith because believe victims but just to add to it lorraine included very weird clauses in the second/third contract#where its like this film does not touch on any of these topics why is this in the contract?#also like#off of that topic#where does henry brittle land on the nature of his own book now? he claimed it a biography for like 30 years but then it was fictional when#he sued warner brothers#also theres like 30 amityville horror films and do they not infringe on his rights? the warrens were involved with that whole bullshit#also the producer who sued them and accused them of racketeering and originally got the rights from ed warren in the 90s even though ed had#already signed them away. the one who was also bankrupt and maybe making a poker show. that guy. he produced the 2001 josie and the#pussycats film because why the hell not#the whole thing is a mess and the case was dismissed with prejudice (that means he cant sue them again for the same thing) by brittle who#claimed he was an unknowing puppet for the producer guy and its just#theres a lot happening here#almost none of which would have happened if the warrens didnt sign away exclusive rights multiple times
