According to pretty much everyone who has seen it, Lights Out director David F. Sandberg’s Annabelle: Creation is an infinitely better movie than the one it’s a prequel to. In fact, it’s currently sitting high at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes!
The new film is set for release on Friday, August 11, and Sandberg took to Twitter last night to let us know that we’re probably going to want to stay in our seats during the closing credits.
We can only assume there will be a tease for a future Conjuring Universe film…
Yes. A little mid credit thing and then another thing after all the credits. https://t.co/NV7kmwFuXe

The post credit scene wasn’t my idea, no. But I like it.
