In Annabelle: Creation, following the tragic death of a doll maker's daughter, Annabelle Mullins, he and his wife pray to see their beloved little girl again.
The prequel Annabelle 2 (officially titled Annabelle: Creation) helps to clarify things.

For that reason, the original Annabelle movie didn't seem to line up with the alleged true story, which has Annabelle dying when she is a child and in an automobile accident.
In that story, Annabelle dies during a break-in when she is an adult. Her blood dripped into the doll's eye, triggering it to become possessed by either her or a demon her cult had worshiped, or both. If you recall from the first movie, a female member of a satanic cult named Annabelle Higgins died while holding the doll (it was not explained that Higgins had a previous connection to the doll). Not necessarily, but it does help us to understand the events in the original better. This is somewhat in line with the story the medium had told Donna, at least with regard to a child named Annabelle dying tragically in an automobile accident.ĭoes Annabelle: Creation shed more light on the supposed true story? In the Annabelle: Creation movie, the doll belongs to a doll maker and his wife, Samuel and Esther Mullins, whose daughter Annabelle Mullins (who they call Bee) died after being hit by a car. Donna was allegedly told by a medium that the spirit of the child had at some point entered the doll, and that the tragic accident that claimed the child's life had happened close to Donna's apartment building. The actual doll was purchased at a hobby store in 1970 by a mother who gave it to her 28-year-old daughter, Donna, as a birthday present. If you recall from our research into the history behind the first Annabelle movie, the spirit in the actual doll was supposedly that of an innocent young girl named Annabelle, who had died in an automobile accident when she was 7. “It’s gonna be like the Godfather 2 of creepy doll movies.”Īccording to an earlier press release, the cast will feature Stephanie Sigman (who appeared briefly in Spectre), Talitha Bateman ( The 5th Wave), Lulu Wilson ( Ouija 2), Philippa Anne Coulthard ( After the Dark), Grace Fulton ( Badland), Lou Lou Safran ( The Choice), Samara Lee ( The Last Witch Hunter), newcomer Tayler Buck, Anthony LaPaglia ( Without a Trace), and Miranda Otto (the Lord of the Rings trilogy).Īnnabelle 2 will be released in theaters on May 19, 2017.The young girl dying is actually a little more in line with the real backstory of the Annabelle doll than what was presented in the first film, which is why Annabelle: Creation is being treated as a prequel. Now that we’ve all seen The Conjuring 2, could this nun have something to do with the same demonic entity that terrorized Hodgson family? “I’ve read the script, and I think this is gonna be one of those occasions where the sequel is actually better,” Sandberg told Collider at Comic-Con. Several years after the tragic death of their little girl, a dollmaker and his wife welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home, soon becoming the target of the dollmaker’s possessed creation, Annabelle. The trailer announcement for the sequel arrives tomorrow.
Light’s Out 2 already got the green light, but Sandberg is also working on the Annabelle sequel. Sandberg was mostly known for directing short films, one of which was developed into the feature-length film Light’s Out, on which The Conjuring director James Wan served as a producer. Sandberg revealed a behind-the-scenes image of himself setting up the creepy doll from The Conjuring on the set of the upcoming spin-off sequel, while revealing the first trailer will drop tomorrow.
Smack dab in the middle of all this will be the announcement trailer for Annabelle 2, but before then, the director revealed a first look on social media.ĭavid F.
