You can add another name to the quickly growing list of actors who will have the shit scared out of them in James Wan’s The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist as Variety is reporting that Simon McBurney has signed up for active frightening!

He joins the recently announced Frances O’Connor, who appears with the returning Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson in New Line’s sequel to its massive 2013 horror hit.

The new movie is reuniting many of the creative elements of the original movie. James Wan, coming off of Furious 7, returns as director and producer along with Peter Safran and Rob Cowan. Farmiga and Wilson are reprising their roles of real-life paranormal investigating couple Lorraine and Ed Warren. O’Connor (A.I. Artificial Intelligence, “The Missing”) will play the mother of a girl who is experiencing a haunting and desperate for help.

The Conjuring 2 is due to begin production later in September. Wan wrote the screenplay with Chad and Carey Hayes, with revisions by David Leslie Johnson.
