Just like the rest of us, *The Conjuring* stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have questions about comedian Matt Rife's decision to buy the former home of the paranormal investigators whose work inspired the blockbuster horror franchise.

"I'd love to pick his brain," Farmiga said in a new interview with PEOPLE, adding that she sent the news to Wilson as soon as she saw it. Since 2013, the two have played spouses and demon experts Ed and Lorraine Warren in the *Conjuring* cinematic universe — roles they reprise one final time in the forthcoming *The Conjuring: Last Rites*.

Prior to Rife's purchase, Farmiga said she had been "so curious as to what was going to happen with that piece of real estate," given that Lorraine died in 2019 and Ed in 2006. The Warrens lived there for many years, and even opened an occult museum in the basement of the property in 1952, according to Connecticut Insider. Now that the stand-up comedian owns it, Farmiga said she just wants to know "what his intentions are."**

Her costar agreed, telling PEOPLE, "It's a private little street. There are neighbors everywhere. [The Warrens] lived in the same house for a long, long time, so it's not like some estate on a massive acreage. It's just on a block. It's a normal house on a street in Monroe, Connecticut."

Wilson continued, "So I am curious. I can't imagine the people that live on that street want lines of cars paying money to go into the house."

Joked Farmiga, "I hope he doesn't have a garage sale." (Honestly, same.)

Earlier this month, Rife took to his social media accounts to announce his purchase and explain his unorthodox decision. "I have officially purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren's home and Occult Museum," Rife wrote on Instagram, noting that he had also become "the legal guardian, for at least the next five years, of the entire haunted collection, including THE ANNABELLE DOLL."

Rife further explained that his affection for the *Conjuring* movies inspired his big acquisition. "If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted," he wrote. "You also may know the *Conjuring* films are my favorite scary movies of all time. So I'm incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history."

The comedian clarified in a separate video on TikTok that while he does own the paranormal investigators' former house, he does not technically own its various artifacts. "We are the legal guardians and caretakers of all 750 haunted artifacts and items in the Warren Museum, including the Annabelle doll," he said. "We do not legally own the items, but we are the legal guardians and caretakers of the items for at least the next five years."

Rife also said he plans to open the house for overnight stays and museum tours so fans can experience and learn about all of the haunted history surrounding the property for themselves.
