From the first few seconds of the new trailer for Annabelle Comes Home, it’s clear the ambitious film is setting out to be the spookiest one yet. While the first two flicks zeroed in its focus onto Annabelle, the creepiest doll outside the Goosebumps universe, the newest in the series features a cinematic crossover with Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) and his wife Lorraine (Vera Farmiga). The demonologist duo feel like the heart of The Conjuring’s universe, allowing a sort of connecting thread throughout all of the films.

The trailer begins with an ominous overview of the Warrens’spooky room filled with haunted and cursed artifacts. Of course, nothing seems to be as scary as the innocent, wide-eyed Annabelle herself. And frankly no good horror movie is complete without babysitters going rogue and venturing into the one room they’re specifically told not to. Annabelle and her gang of demonic spirits find new victims in the Warrens’ daughter Judy (Mckenna Grace) and her unfortunate babysitters played by Madison Iseman and Katie Sarife.

Official Synopsis:

Determined to keep Annabelle from wreaking more havoc, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren bring the possessed doll to the locked artifacts room in their home, placing her “safely” behind sacred glass and enlisting a priest’s holy blessing. But an unholy night of horror awaits as Annabelle awakens the evil spirits in the room, who all set their sights on a new target—the Warrens’ ten-year-old daughter, Judy, and her friends.

The best parts of the trailer are tell-tale signs of James Wan (The Conjuring) at his best. Heart stopping jump scares, terrifying girls with pigtails and colorful imagery so vivid it’s sure to leave a lasting impression are at the very center of the trailer, leaving viewers hopeful for a movie that delivers on the scares. Wan sits in the producer’s seat for Annabelle Comes Home and he’s joined by director Gary Dauberman who is no stranger to The Conjuring universe. Having written It, The Nun, and the two previous Annabelle flicks, Dauberman makes his directorial debut with the third in the Annabelle franchise. With Dauberman and Wan at the helm the film is sure to bring on a scary summer just in time for a June 28, 2019 release.
