The cult member from the previous film turns out to be a girl possessed by that demon, 12 years later. That’s thanks to the dollmaker and his wife, who invited the spirit of their dead daughter into the toy, only to find out it was really a demon that possessed the doll. Annabelle (2014) described a cult member with the same name who killed her parents before slitting her own throat while holding the doll.Īnnabelle: Creation (2017) then acted as a prequel to Annabelle (itself a prequel to The Conjuring), establishing that the doll was already super haunted way before those events. The first two films have already given us some lore about the possessed doll. The creepy threequel will be released in cinemas on July 3, 2019, ahead of the expected release of The Conjuring 3 in 2020.Īnnabelle 3 plot – where does the film sit on the timeline?
