When The Conjuring was released in 2013, it felt like a nostalgic nod to eerie 1970s horror movies like The Changeling or The Manitou. From its simple opening title card -- yellow text on a black background -- to its relatively little gore and slow build of suspense, The Conjuring was a breath of fresh air. It arrived at a time when the horror genre was rampant with gruesome movies like Saw (which was also directed by Wan) and Hostel. The Conjuring kick-started not just a film franchise, but a

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-16 12:42:26

But because climate tech startups are often hardware focused — physical problems tend to require physical solutions, after all — this valley of death tends to be a lot wider. Financing a first-of-a-kind power plant or factory can cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, a new fund hopes to bridge this
