“The Nun” is a new horror flick that just scared up $53.5 million at the box office. Directed by Corin Hardy, the film is the fifth exorcism type film of the “The Conjuring” film franchise.
The movie only has a 26% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and you could easily argue that the film plays up on stereotypes and cliches about religious sisters.
“‘The Nun’ is not intended to be a vocation movie, in case you were wondering (not),” writes Sister Rose Pacatte of the Daughters of Saint Paul.
But not all is lost.
Sister B of the Salesians wants to plan a convent road trip to the theater to see the film and do some scaring of her own. We couldn’t agree with this idea more. Check out the plan:

It didn’t take too long before Catholic Twitter exploded with approval of Sister’s idea.
Hahahaha…can we do this as a group!? 🤣🤣🤣

Does this plan mesh with the New Evangelization? Well, we’re not sure if this is what Saint Pope John Paul II had in mind.
Step 1: Get convent to fill front row of theater; wear blackest habits available
Step 2: Stand up and hiss/shriek right at final jump scare before credits
Step 3: Have nuns waiting outside theater with information on masses, priests to hear confessions
Step 4: Saved souls 😇

But we think this plan is hilarious, so bring it on sisters. Pass the popcorn.
