$\"\"$ <\/a>A website called Schmoes Know<\/a> claims that Warner Brothers is developing a spin-off of this summer\u2019s hit horror movie The Conjuring<\/i> 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<\/i> (2004), but the movie was based on a true story \u2014 and the real Annabelle, as it happens, is a mere Raggedy Ann doll<\/a>. There\u2019s one<\/i> missed merchandising tie-in!<\/p>\n
