The Conjuring Universe Is Better Off Without This Character Despite Its $793 Million Hit

Summary

• The Annabelle films tell the full story of a terrifying doll whose captivity has now ended.
• No new Annabelle storyline will make sense due to the time and plot constraints of the franchise.
• The Conjuring universe should focus on wrapping up the Warrens’ story and potentially explore The Nun instead of another Annabelle movie.

The Evocation universe he doesn’t need another Annabelle film, despite the $793 million success of the spin-off series. The franchise primarily follows demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren as they handle cases of demonic possession. The fact that their stories are inspired by actual events that the demonologists took part in in real life makes the franchise stand out among other paranormal horror films as some of the scariest films of all time. Of course, not all of the stories in The Evocation universe timeline is based on real events. Those that do, however, manage to include some nightmarish aspects, including possessed dolls.

When the Annabelle doll appears in the opening scene of The Evocationimmediately becomes one of the most significant figures of the franchise. He got his own spin-off, Annabellewhich now has its own film trilogy, telling a complete story of the terrifying doll. The Annabelle The movies are inspired by a true story and use some real events in the plots of the movies. These movies are a huge reason The Evocation universe is such a powerhouse in horror. However, the time has come Annabelle film to reach a suitable conclusion.

Annabelle Comes Home was the perfect ending to the doll’s story

She is locked in her case forever

At the end of Annabelle Comes Homethe third installment in the subseries, the doll is locked away forever and the audience is shown the consequences of even trying to get her out. She simply has too much demonic power. Both in the movies and in real life, the Annabelle doll is one of the creepiest items in the Warren Occult Museum, which this movie really focuses on as she controls the other demonic entities in the museum. Now that at the end of the film she is finally locked up and her story can finally conclude.

Annabelle Comes Home It also closes the story circle in relation to the main Evocation movie. The two nurses receiving the possessed doll are shown in The Evocation​​​​, while the car problems the Warrens had when they got the doll are in Annabelle Comes HomeWhile the financial rewards are tempting, the Annabelle the story now has a nice symmetry that should not be ignored.

No New Annabelle Plot Will Work for the Conjuring Universe

None of the potential stories would make sense with the chronology.

From Annabelle Comes Home perfectly concludes the story of the doll, there is no need for another movie. Even if another Annabelle the film began production, no story would have made the film work. Everything that happened to the real Annabelle doll has already been used for the franchise, and no point in the universe’s timeline makes sense for another installment. If another Annabelle film takes place before any current film, it will upset the entire timeline and ruin the series. Therefore, another prequel is out of the question.

Another haunted doll movie inspired by a true story is
Roberto
(2015).

If another Annabelle the movie took place after all the movies, the plot wouldn’t work anyway. The only potential option is for Annabelle to escape from her glass case again. However, this plot will lead to another clash between those who let this happen and Annabelle and the other demons in the museum. Ultimately, it will repeat itself Annabelle Comes Home. The difference is that the third film started with inspiration from true events. Having another film like this without any reality behind it will cause the film to fail, proving that this type of plot is not an option for another Annabelle installment.

The franchise needs to focus on the Conjuring finale and potentially The Nun instead of Annabelle

The universe still has a lot of material to conclude

There are many important stories, beyond AnnabelleIn The Evocation universe that need to be packaged. The Warrens are a prime example. The Evocation 4 it will be their last film, and the conclusion of their plot requires considerable attention. They have brought the series to where it is today and are so vital that they often appear in other sub-series within the franchise. Their final film can properly honor their characters without focusing on another Annabelle movie.

While this figure is significantly more evil, Valak’s story in The nun film must also be finished. Because of all the films the nun has appeared in, she is now one of the most important demons in The Evocation franchising. There is no need for another installment of The nun series, but still has potential after the conclusion The Evocation 4. Valak always manages to return after being defeated, and there should be a way to keep the demon out of the world until The Evocation movie. A third film could show these events, helping to tie up more loose ends. The Evocation universe in place of another Annabelle movie.
