A website called Schmoes Know claims that Warner Brothers is developing a spin-off of this summer’s hit horror movie The Conjuring based on the demon-haunted doll Annabelle. This is kind of amusing, as the Annabelle of the film was just the sort of creepy wooden antique that director James Wan had included in his previous films, such as Saw (2004), but the movie was based on a true story — and the real Annabelle, as it happens, is a mere Raggedy Ann doll. There’s one missed merchandising tie-in!
Below are two pictures of the real Annabelle, one of which shows the doll being held by Lorraine Warren, who was played in the film by Vera Farmiga:
