Unfortunately, the franchise has so far yielded decidedly mixed results when Wan hasn't been sitting in the director's chair. Like the other Conjuring spinoffs, Annabelle Comes Home is only being produced by Wan. The film will instead take place while the Warrens are away one night, forcing their daughter, Judy (Mckenna Grace), to fight for her life when Annabelle re-awakens the malevolent spirits that've been lying dormant in the Warrens' cursed artifacts room (pictured here). Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are even reprising their roles as the Warrens here, albeit in a more limited capacity.

Whereas the previous three spinoffs took place prior to the first Conjuring film, this entry actually picks up shortly after Ed and Lorraine Warren encounter the demonic Annabelle doll for the first time in Wan's original movie. Although Wan doesn't mention anything about the movie's trailer in his post, it's speculated that the Annabelle Comes Home teaser will arrive alongside Pet Sematary in theaters next week. At the latest, the trailer should drop with The Curse of La Llorona in late April.Īnnabelle Comes Home marks the directing debut for Gary Dauberman, who also wrote the first two Annabelle movies ( Annabelle and Annabelle: Creation) and The Nun. The Aquaman director has posted a (creepy) first look at Annabelle Comes Home to his official Instagram account, as you can see below. Related: The Curse of La Llorona is Part of The Conjuring Universe Wan is now doing his part to promote the movie and has even confirmed Annabelle's cameo in Aquaman last year (well, sorta confirmed). A third Annabelle spinoff is scheduled to arrive this summer and only recently gained an official title, in the form of Annabelle Comes Home. Wan has so far directed two Conjuring movies, including the original 2013 film and its sequel. Meanwhile, the franchise at large has expanded to encompass multiple spinoffs, including a pair of prequels about the demonically possessed Annabelle doll and another prequel about The Conjuring 2 villain Valak, aka. Since then, Wan has focused more on horror films of the supernatural variety, launching both The Conjuring and Insidious movie series in the process.

The filmmaker's original Saw movie helped coin the phrase 'torture porn' in 2004 and gave rise to a franchise that now spans eight installments (and counting). Without a doubt, Wan has had an enormous impact on the horror landscape over the last fifteen years. James Wan has revealed the first look image for Annabelle Comes Home.
