MISS ME? The Ferryman, also known as Charon or Kharon, had a long history of terror before encountering the Warrens in the 20th century. Although The Ferryman is one of the three new antagonists introduced in the 2019 film Annabelle Comes Home, many fans know very little about his history which dates back to 500 BCE in Ancient Greece. His actual name, Charon, only appears once in the movie, on a case file in Ed and Lorraine's office, which also contains rare details about the deity's complex history.

In this video I'll be analyzing everything we know about Charon, from his ancient depictions in Greek tragedies, to his transition to a more Grim Reaper like appearance, his encounter with the Warrens, his face off with Judy babysitter in 1972 and the possible future of this character.

I'll be sourcing mythology from the likes of Greek and Roman playwrights such as Euripides, Aeschylus and Seneca, as well as his history in The Conjuring franchise. I'll also discuss other appearances, like his moments in God of War, Disney's Hercules, and his own film, but for the purposes of this Horror History episode, The Conjurverse is canon.
