The reason James Wan’s The Conjuring was able to spin off into several different in-universe franchises was by the introduction of the Warren Family Museum, which harbors all kinds of haunted artifacts, including the elusive Annabelle doll.
With the third Annabelle film, Annabelle Comes Home, the action returns to said museum in order for the filmmakers to unlock even more potential. We’ve seen teases of some sort of demonic monkey toy, a samurai, a demonic werewolf, and most notably the promise of “The Bride”. This new trailer zeroes in on a spook called “The Ferryman”, who pulls a bibbidi bobbidi boo within the footage. Is he a centerpiece like that of The Crooked Man in Conjuring 2?
All we know for sure is that this sequel is setting the table for many more spinoffs!
The next film in the Conjuring Universe is headed our way this summer, with Annabelle Comes Home set to unleash every evil entity that had been locked up in Ed and Lorraine Warren’s museum of haunted artifacts. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga will star in the Gary Dauberman-directed film, the first time they’ve played Ed and Lorraine in a Conjuring spinoff. Mckenna Grace and Madison Iseman also star.
The sixth title in The Conjuring franchise picks up with the Warrens bringing the Annabelle doll to a place where she can no longer wreak havoc: their Artifacts Room. Annabelle awakens the room’s evil which sets its sights on a new target: the Warrens’ ten-year-old daughter Judy.
Last year, Dauberman said of the next Annabelle installment, “It really picks up with the Warrens bringing Annabelle to the place where it can really no longer wreak havoc, which is their artifact room. But, of course, it turns out she can also wreak havoc there.” “It’s basically Night at the Museum with Annabelle!” added producer James Wan at the time.
Annabelle Comes Home on Wednesday, June 26.
