The original Annabelle doll, which inspired the Annabelle movie series, was created by the American company Raggedy Ann in 1918.
Ed and Lorraine Warren, the real-life paranormal investigators on whom the characters in Annabelle Comes Home are based, began their investigations in the early 1950s.
The Warrens investigated a case involving a Raggedy Ann doll named Annabelle, which they claimed was possessed by a spirit, in the early 1970s.
The Annabelle film series, including Annabelle Comes Home, was created as a spin-off of The Conjuring universe, starting with the first Annabelle movie in 2014.
Annabelle Comes Home, the third installment in the Annabelle series, was released, further exploring the lore around the possessed Annabelle doll and the Warrens.
Ed and Lorraine Warren bring the Annabelle doll to their artifact room and secure it inside a glass case to prevent its evil influence from spreading.
The doll’s malevolent power attempts to possess anyone who gets too close, causing supernatural disturbances in the Warren household.
Teenagers Dana and Mary Ellen are tasked with babysitting Judy Warren, during which the doll’s influence begins to affect their lives.
Through the grimoire, the demon possessing the Annabelle doll begins to manipulate Nancy, a girl in the neighborhood, escalating supernatural chaos.
The demon targets the Wright family, friends of the Warrens, attacking them and attempting to claim new victims connected to Judy.
Ed and Lorraine Warren perform an exorcism ritual to fully contain the demon within the artifact room and protect Judy.
