You're right Kandarian Demon! I remember not hearing anything about 'The Strangers' when it came out and deciding to see it on a whim and being terrified because I wasn't expecting it.
'The Conjuring' definitely is wheat as opposed to chaff. Did you think the doll was a little bit too movie-ish to work though? I read that the real doll was a Raggedy Anne (sp?) doll, which would have been much scarier in my opinion. But I'm all about realism in my horror-- the more realistic the props, setting, characters, etc, the more I'm willing to suspend disbelief. I think I was spoiled by 90s horror, which saw a movement away from the imaginative/creative horror of the 80s (Child's Play, Freddy Kruger, etc).
