In popular culture
Valac is a major antagonist in The Conjuring series of horror films. The Conjuring 2, The Nun, and The Nun II have Valak as the main antagonist, taking on the form of a demonic nun and The Crooked Man from the rhyme "There Was a Crooked Man." However, it has not been confirmed if Valak is the Crooked Man. The Nun revealed that the demon took the form of a nun to hide amongst the sisters in a convent. In The Nun and The Nun II, its main weakness is the Blood of Christ. Its ability to block the psychic Lorraine's visions makes it the most dangerous entity in The Conjuring Universe.
