In the poster below, you can see the title terror/doll front and center (complete with a sign that reads “Positively [Do Not Open]” and the presumed “seal” that bolsters the mechanical lock to keep her imprisoned), but there are otherConjuringnuggets scattered throughout. There’s the infamous music box and the creepy toy monkey, and the color projection wheel (which I can’t quite place where/when it was used), along with religious paraphernalia and the requisite skulls. Also included here is the 60s-era Milton-Bradley board game"Feeley Meeley", though its meaning escapes me; maybe it’ll factor into the story this summer!

Here’s the official synopsis forAnnabelle Comes Home:
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.
