Of COURSE Annabelle is coming back to creep us the fuck out some more. The haunted doll movie—another one from James Wan's hellish universe—grossed a whopping $256 million in 2014 on a mere $6.5 million budget. With Insidious getting three movies and The Conjuring 2 coming out this year, Annabelle 2 was bound to happen—and it is, in 2017, as a prequel to The Conjuring (so no Ed or Lorraine Warren in this one).

Annabelle 2 seems to be an origin story, following a doll maker and his wife (Miranda Otto) who house a nun (played by Bond girl Stephanie Sigman) and several young girls from an orphanage after the death of their own daughter. I'm guessing that daughter was Annabelle? I think perhaps she gets jealous that her parents took on new children and comes back to haunt their ass? And then maybe she possesses one of the dolls her father makes??? Hard to tell from this short teaser, but I feel like that's what happens. Whatever the case, what I know for a fact is that Annabelle fucks shit all the way up. 

Watch the first teaser above, which features a scary ass child humming to herself while hosting a tea party with her dolls in a dimly lit room, and then starts CRACKING HER NECK in all sorts of gross directions. Mirando Otto looks terrified while holding up a crucifix but it's useless? I don't know, this seems kind of scary but will probs end up being another "okay horror movie." 

Gary Dauberman returns as screenwriter and the sequel will be helmed by David F. Sandberg, who directed this summer's Lights Out, yet another James Wan-produced horror flick. Annabelle 2 is out May 19, 2017.
