Check Out these Awesome ‘Annabelle: Creation’ Promotional Items!
Annabelle: Creation releases this week, and to celebrate Warner Bros. sent over a small wooden box from the Mullins Toy Company filled with some pretty cool promotional items!
First up we have the box itself. It’s similar to the box that the Annabelle doll is placed in to be shipped away when its finished by Bee’s father, Samuel Mullins. You can see the real thing featured in the first trailer for the movie, but if you want a ton of good information on it, David F. Sandberg posted a commentary on his YouTube channel.
Inside we have three items. A bell keychain, a bundle of sage and a Saint Benedict Medal. Saint Benedict was known as “The Demon Chaser” and there’s a little prayer printed on the medal’s card back. It reads, “May the holy Cross be my light, Let not the dragon be my guide. Begone, Satan! Suggest not vain things to me. Evil is the cup thou offers; Drink thou thine own poison. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Saint Benedict, Protect Us.”
The bell is a reference to a character in the film, but I won’t spoil its use. The sage is a handy tool to use while chanting Saint Benedict’s prayer.
We really liked Annabelle: Creation [review] which releases this Friday. We said it “surpasses the first Annabelle movie in nearly every way.”
If you check it out, make sure you stick around for the post-credits scene!
Zazie Beetz must fight her way through a New York City high-rise serving as a temple to Satan in They Will Kill You, and it’s officially set to make its global streaming debut next week.
They Will Kill You begins streaming exclusively on HBO Max on Friday, June 12. The film will debut on HBO linear on June 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Beetz leads the cast as Asia, who must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering. Patricia Arquette, Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, and Heather Graham also star.
Kirill Sokolov (Why Don’t You Just Die!) directs from a script he co-wrote with Alex Litvak (Predators).
IT filmmaker Andy Muschietti produces alongside Barbara Muschietti and Dan Kagan. Executive producers include Sokolov, Litvak, Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, and Carl Hampe.
The raucous action horror comedy delivers on blood-splattery fun, but was overshadowed by high profile sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. It’s worth a watch for the talented cast, who commit to Sokolov’s zany action horror beats, include a rogue eyeball.
I wrote in my SXSW review, “Sokolov’s striking composition, dedication to carnage-fueled stunts and fight choreography, and an all-too-game cast anchored by a dedicated and fierce Zazie Beetz prevent this slight but energetic crowd-pleaser from careening off the rails.” And, “it’s so brazen and unabashed in its pursuit of cinematic thrills and splatstick chills that it succeeds in its aim, which is to deliver a riotously great time at the theater.”
More of a physical media fan? On June 30, 2026, They Will Kill You will be available to own on 4K UHD™, Blu-ray™, and DVD from online and physical retailers.
