Matt Rife's reported purchase price for 'The Conjuring' house and Annabelle doll.
In an exciting turn of events, popular American comedian Matt Rife has made a purchase that strays far from the world of comedy: Ed and Lorraine Warren's former home and museum, famously known for its appearance in the horror franchise, The Conjuring.
The property, located at 30 Knollwood St, Monroe, Connecticut, is a 2,544-square-foot house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, previously serving as a paranormal museum. The exact purchase price has not been officially disclosed, but realty sites estimate the property to be valued between approximately £552,000 and £683,000, with around £627,600 often cited as a median estimate.
The purchase includes the possession of the Annabelle doll, a specific possessed doll featured in the same horror franchise. This culturally significant artifact, once in the hands of paranormal researcher Dan Rivera who passed away in July 2025, is now part of Rife's collection.
Rife, along with YouTuber Elton Castee, did not pay separately for the Annabelle doll; rather, they purchased the house and museum together. As the new legal guardians of the haunted collection, including the Annabelle doll, for the next five years, they plan to open the house for overnight stays and museum tours, allowing visitors to experience the haunted history of the place.
Rife announced his purchase on social media, expressing his obsession with the paranormal and all things haunted. Several reports about the purchase are circulating on social media, but Rife has not disclosed the exact amount he paid for the acquisition.
The Warrens, a renowned paranormal investigating couple, passed away in 2019 (Lorraine) and 2006 (Ed) respectively. Their home and museum, now in the hands of Rife and Castee, offer a unique opportunity for paranormal enthusiasts to delve into the world of the supernatural.
