Three films to date have been released as part of The Conjuring Universe (The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2 and Annabelle), with another four soon on the way (this summer’s Annabelle: Creation, next year’s The Nun and forthcoming The Conjuring 3 and The Crooked Man).

And now YOU have a chance to expand upon that universe.

Annabelle: Creation director David F. Sandberg just announced a competition wherein fans of the Conjuring films are being given the opportunity to make horror shorts that “could live in James Wan’s Conjuring Universe.”

Submit your film (no more than 2 minutes in duration) inspired by The Conjuring Universe and the upcoming film Annabelle: Creation. The top filmmaker will receive a trip to Los Angeles to meet with the director of Annabelle: Creation, David F. Sandberg, or an executive from New Line Cinema.

Your film must be submitted by 11:59 pm PT on July 27, 2017.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
