When the White Lady went through Rod, he “felt a sense of sorrow and compassion, like she was trying to tell him something,” perhaps attempting to imbue the potentially tragic details of her untimely death. In Annabelle Comes Home, a wedding dress in the museum has a strong presence. Within the first half hour of the film, the backstory behind the deadly dress is revealed.

The group then manages to retrieve the case key after being attacked by the Feeley Meeley board game. Finally, Annabelle is locked in her case once more, and the disturbances and other spirits return to their ghostly resting places. Despite the title, the film isn't really about Annabelle; as she's only one of several cursed objects that have to be overcome. Still, the writers come up with some rather creative and frightening demonic spirits.

Eventually, Mary Ellen and Judy find the doll when the ghostly priest, acting as Judy's guardian, guides them to the Ferryman. Daniela recovers when Judy plays Ed's recorded footage of the Bride's exorcism, and helps put the doll back in the case.

On a separate occasion, when a transformer fire broke out on Route 25, the White Lady supposedly manifested herself to such a degree as to become solid. An off-duty policeman and firefighter were responding to a call when they accidentally struck the White Lady. The White Lady was able to become solid that night because “the energy spewing from the transformers gave the spirit the energy to manifest,” Spera explains.

The White Lady, as she is called, raised her hand up in front of her, as if to say “stop.” Rod sharply pumped the brakes. As soon as he did, the White Lady lunged at the vehicle and went right through his car. When the apparition disappeared, Spera said that Rod felt “a wisp of air go by his right ear,” and he just knew that that sensation was her going through the car. He looked out from the window once more, and saw his side of the road tinted with a brick red hue, as if someone had coated the road with red paint.
Rod looked away overcome by fear, and then slowly turned to peek again. When Rod looked over, the entity vanished into thin air, just as quickly as it arrived. Leah Butler was nominated in the Best Costume Design category at the 2019 Fright Meter Awards.
Cast & Crew
In 1968, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren decide to bring the Annabelle doll to their home after claims from two nurses, Debbie and Camilla, that the doll would often perform violent activities in their apartment. I think this third Annabelle movie was trying to keep the cycle of Conjuverse going, and somehow, it successfully did. The attention to detail through design, the cinematography, and the film score makes the movie look and feels very much retro, and the effort with it, is paid-off. It also emphasize the theme about facing-your-fears, the compassion of friendship, and the subtle message of obidience. However, this sort of emphasis makes the natural essence of turmoil within the movie's concept blurry, unheavy and inconsequential. The most things it failed to do is to keep the viewers' engagement with the characters.
She manages to escape the Samurai, and along with Daniela, manages to help Judy lock the doll back in the case and cut off power to the other spirits. Sometime after the Warrens founded the New England Society for Psychic Research in 1952, they came into possession of the armor, blessed it, and sealed it away in their occult museum in their home. While Annabelle Comes Home may not suit every horror fan’s taste, it’s still an engaging and exciting addition to The Conjuring series. As the scary high point of the franchise, it ties together the previous movies and provides a thrilling story with excellent pacing.
” he would ask the mirror as he sat in darkness with nothing but a red light bulb behind him. After a fortnight passed, “ugly monstrosities’ faces appeared on the mirror.” The hellish faces were so diabolical that they drove the man to a mental institution. One morning while the nurses were eating at their breakfast nook, “Annabelle’s two flimsy little cloth arms levitated onto the table,” Spera says. When the startling paranormal activity took place, the nurses were oddly fascinated by the doll.

Whereas, to use a Ouija board, two people, or one person, put their hands on a plastic planchette, and ask a spirit questions. “It’s different than , but actually a Oujia board is much more dangerous because you’re asking to talk to spirits — to the unknown realm,” Spera says. Spera says the Annabelle doll is accurately portrayed in the films — at least according to the mythology of the museum.
Annabelle Comes Home was theatrically released in the United States on June 26, 2019, by Warner Bros.

The real-life Ed and Lorraine Warren's daughter Judy Spera speaks about the Annabelle doll in the newAnnabelle Comes Homefeaturette released by Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema. Though the real-life doll was a Raggedy Ann doll, Spera says that it still frightened her to this day.
She starts touching interesting and sensitive artifacts, trying to determine the best one to contact her dead father. During her escapade, she accidentally leaves Annabelle's glass case unlocked, and the horror begins shortly afterwards as the ghostly spirit of Bee Mullins is released. During the night, Annabelle also releases other spirits, including the Ferryman, the Bride, a set of possessed samurai armor, a haunted Feeley Meeley board game, and the Black Shuck. After a boy named Bob, Mary Ellen's crush, comes by to see her, he is attacked by the Black Shuck demon and hides in the backyard. Then, Mary Ellen is attacked by the Ferryman spirit and Judy is confronted by Annabelle.
The main difference between New Line’s Annabelle and the Occult Museum’s doll is appearance. The Annabelle movie fans are taught to fear has been jazzed up for Hollywood purposes. In real life, the Annabelle doll is not wide-eyed and made of porcelain.
