Revealing Mistakes
The layout of the house is very unusual for a UK property of this age. At the top of stairs is the bathroom with a bedroom at back, front of house has small bedroom over stairs and larger bedroom to right of it. Also the rooms are way oversized for the style off house they show at beginning of movie.

Miscellaneous
When Ed goes to retrieve Janet from the closet, he burns his left forearm on a hot pipe. When he eventually gets her out and falls to the ground, the burn mark isn't there. Then, in a later scene, the burn mark appears.

Miscellaneous
When Lorraine is marking up the Bible, Kitty Kelly's biography of Nancy Reagan can be seen on the bookshelf. That book was not written until 1991.

Continuity
The width of the wall between the front outside door and the bay windows varies between shots. The wall width of the actual location shot is roughly five times smaller than the studio shot. This is noticeable throughout the entire film and is highlighted by the placement of the old leather chair and the size of the hallway.

Factual Mistake
In the scene where Janet is home sick from school, after she hangs up the phone with her mom who called to check on her, she uses the remote to flip back to the station she was watching, and the first station she flips to reveals an adult Jon Bon Jovi in mid-song. Since the story did not take place until 1977, Jon Bon Jovi would have been only 14 to 15 years old, a full 6 years before being discovered.

Factual Mistake
When the sound operator, sent by the polytechnic, is recording various sounds around the house, he points his microphone at an open door leading to the garden. He picks up the sound of crickets chirping. Since this is North London in late December, the chances of hearing crickets are virtually impossible.

Factual Mistake
Near the beginning of the film, Janet and her brothers and sister are seen leaving Enfield Grammar school. This school has always been and still is, an all-boys secondary school. So not only would Janet and Margaret not be allowed to attend, neither would their brothers are they were both too young.

Trivia:

On the first day of shooting, a priest was brought in to bless the set.

James Wan was offered a "life altering" amount of money in order to direct Fast 8 (2017). However, he turned the opportunity down to direct The Conjuring 2 (2016). "I feel rejuvenated to tell a scary story one more time", James Wan said on Instagram.

As of October 2014, original The Conjuring (2013) director, James Wan, was confirmed to return for the sequel.

Writer David Leslie Johnson from the popular show The Walking Dead (2010) was hired to rewrite this movie for theaters.

The movie was originally given a October 23, 2015 release date. But as of October 21, 2014, the movie was pushed to June, 2016.

The same story was told in the mini series "The Enfield haunting" which came out a year ago

Unlike the original film, which was filmed with hopes of getting a PG-13 rating (though the studio and filmmakers were ultimately OK with the R that the MPAA assigned), the sequel was both written and directed with the intention that it get an R rating, which is in fact what the MPAA granted it.

David Thewlis and Vera Farmiga have worked together previously, starring as the mother and father in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
