The ending of the film, the culmination of seven horror movies, is a surprisingly sweet conclusion to this sprawling franchise. Though met with somewhat mixed reviews, Annabelle Comes Home stands out from other entries in the series. Writer and director Gary Dauberman develops tension from the beginning and taps into the primal fear of being a child and having your home taken over by evil. Overall, The Conjuring universe movies may not be for everyone, but the films have grossed over $2 billion worldwide and continue to draw large audiences.
She finds friendship in Mary Ellen, her babysitter, and Mary Ellen’s friend Daniela. The three are the primary characters in the film and must deal with the repercussions of Daniela opening Annabelle’s case and unleashing the evil spirits. First debuting in 2013, The Conjuring has quickly become one of the most iconic horror franchises of the decade. The movies follow the real-life paranormal investigations of Ed and Lorraine Warren, a pair of demonologists whose work has been the subject of numerous books, television shows, and films. New Line’s Annabelle and Conjuring films are based on accounts that paranormal researchers claim to be true.

Eventually, Mary Ellen and Judy find the doll when the ghostly priest, acting as Judy's guardian, guides them to the Ferryman. Daniela recovers when Judy plays Ed's recorded footage of the Bride's exorcism, and helps put the doll back in the case.

Shortly afterward, at school, Judy sees the spirit of a priest, and it begins to follow her, becoming attached.

Searching throughout the house, she eventually finds the keys to the artifact room in the Warren's home office and sneaks inside.

Spera debunks the dress’ roots, confirming that a white gown is present in the Occult Museum, but that it’s not known whether or not the dress ever belonged to a bride. To investigate, The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Tony Spera, the real-life Occult Museum curator and son-in-law of renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. Here, the curator of the Connecticut-based museum breaks down the legends that inspired the latest film, and how they differ from what made it to the big screen. It grossed over $231 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics, who found it less frightening than its predecessors. Judy recalls a Halloween party for which Ed created a spooky handmade witch and where children bobbed for apples.
In the Occult Museum, there is a real set of pearls that a woman was given. When she placed the pearls on her neck, she claimed to feel as though she was being strangled to death. People around her had to yank the pearls off of the woman to save her.
Cast & Crew
Sometime later, the Warrens welcome Mary Ellen, who will be in charge of babysitting their daughter, Judy, at the house while they travel overnight to investigate another case. Mary Ellen's friend, Daniela, arrives uninvited to the Warrens' home, who is secretly curious about speaking to the dead. She sneaks into the artifacts room and starts examining every item, ultimately trying to contact her late father. She abruptly leaves Annabelle's glass case unlocked, and the terror begins shortly afterwards with the spirit of Annabelle "Bee" Mullins unleashed. That night, Annabelle begins releasing other spirits, such as the Ferryman, the Bride, a Feeley Meeley board game, and the Black Shuck. In the United States and Canada, the film was projected to gross $30–35 million from 3,587 theaters over its first five days.
The movie does an excellent job of tying the entire Conjuring universe together cohesively and effectively. It ties the original storyline in with the new spirits and characters and seamlessly ties in with other movies in the franchise. This high point of the films makes them all the more enjoyable and adds a new level to the well-known storyline.

These case files are represented with even more creative liberty in horror films like "The Conjuring," which first featured scenes of a young Judy. Though only a co-writer and producer, there is a heavy nod to James Wan’s signature style in Annabelle Comes Home. From the use of jump scares (which are well-timed and not overdone) to outstanding cinematography, the movie is filled with classic horror tropes and perfectly executed pacing. With the Feeley Meeley game, one person sticks their hand into a box with 24 objects inside and tries to feel around for the object seen on the card they drew.
Once Ed and Lorraine Warren were on the Annabelle case, they had a priest do an exorcism on the apartment to cast out any spirits. After the paranormal investigator placed her in the backseat of his vehicle, he claimed he experienced car trouble on his way home, similar to the car trouble seen during the start of Annabelle Comes Home. The supernatural claims of Ed, who died in 2006 at age 79, and Lorraine, who died April 18 at 92, should be approached with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Annabelle Comes Home was theatrically released in the United States on June 26, 2019, by Warner Bros. It was originally scheduled for release on July 3, 2019, but was later moved up to June 28, and then to June 26. Annabelle Comes Home was released on Digital HD on September 17, 2019, and on Blu-ray and DVD on October 8, 2019. It was released in a May 2022 Blu-ray collection with the other The Conjuring Universe movies. The real-life Ed and Lorraine Warren's daughter Judy Spera speaks about the Annabelle doll in the newAnnabelle Comes Homefeaturette released by Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema. Though the real-life doll was a Raggedy Ann doll, Spera says that it still frightened her to this day.
She starts touching interesting and sensitive artifacts, trying to determine the best one to contact her dead father. During her escapade, she accidentally leaves Annabelle's glass case unlocked, and the horror begins shortly afterwards as the ghostly spirit of Bee Mullins is released. During the night, Annabelle also releases other spirits, including the Ferryman, the Bride, a set of possessed samurai armor, a haunted Feeley Meeley board game, and the Black Shuck. After a boy named Bob, Mary Ellen's crush, comes by to see her, he is attacked by the Black Shuck demon and hides in the backyard. Then, Mary Ellen is attacked by the Ferryman spirit and Judy is confronted by Annabelle.
“ students of the paranormal, is like a classroom where I can actually keep objects for peers, and have them get a better understanding,” Spera says. After the exorcism was carried out, Bill Ramsey said he was free from the evil that was in him. Spera believes that the inclusion of the game could be reminiscent of the classic Ouija board since both games involve using one’s hands. Spera confirms there is no such item in the museum, although he suspects that the object is likely inspired by the museum’s pearls of death.
When she does this, she disobeys the “no touching” policy of the museum. The son-in-law of late 'Conjuring' demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren goes through the history of 'Annabelle Comes Home'. Principal photography commenced by mid-October in Los Angeles, with Michael Burgess serving as cinematographer. On December 7, Wilson announced that he had finished filming his scenes.

There are some scenes where nothing happens, but the fear and anxiety of what might happen keeps viewers on edge. Dauberman toys with the audience and keeps them guessing, generating anticipation throughout the entire film. Spera says that the Warrens believed that Ramsey was possessed by the spirit that causes lycanthropy .
Let’s look at why Annabelle Comes Home is a scary high point of all the Conjuring sequels. Judy and Mary Ellen discover that Annabelle has become a "beacon" for all the evil spirits contained within the Warren household, and now their exploits are coming home to roost. In the movie, Judy is a brave, relatable protagonist who confronts the evil surrounding her home with strength and determination. We learn more about her struggles as the Warren’s daughter, dealing with bullying and a lack of understanding from her peers.
