The Conjuring Universe invites you back to the franchise with more spin-offs than main movies. Annabelle Comes Home is the seventh installment in The Conjuring Universe, serving as a sequel to Annabelle: Creation and Annabelle. Written and directed by Gary Dauberman, from a story by James Wan, Annabelle: Comes Homes features the return of demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga), who in 1971, bring the possessed Annabelle doll to their home. Annabelle is placed in a sacred glass case in the couple's artifacts room - containing her evil. Teenager Mary Ellen (Madison Iseman) is left babysitting the Warren's daughter, Judy (McKenna Grace), when they go overnight to investigate another case. Mary Ellen's friend Daniela (Katie Sarife) arrives uninvited to the Warren's home, finding her way into the Warren's artifacts room and accidentally leaving Annabelle's glass case unlocked.
