#2 – Annabelle Comes Home
Determined to keep Annabelle from wreaking more havoc, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren bring the possessed doll to the locked artifacts room in their home.
They place her “safely” behind sacred glass and enlisting a priest’s holy blessing.
An unholy night of horror awaits as Annabelle awakens the evil spirits in the room, who all set their sights on a new target—the Warrens’ ten-year-old daughter, Judy, and her friends.

It stars Mckenna Grace who plays Young Sabrina in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Young Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel.
Judy Warren (Mckenna Grace) faces rejection from her peers due to her parent’s occupation. Her only friends are her babysitter and her babysitter’s best friend.
Her only friends are her babysitter and her babysitter’s best friend. Watching the three band together while dealing with their own problems is a big highlight of the movie.
Not only that but Annabelle Comes Home brings forth other entities from the Warren’s case files. There’s the Werewolf and the Ferryman. Their inclusion pushes the boundaries of The Conjuring, yet they don’t look out of place.
According to rumors, there are more Judy Warren entries in the works. Factoring in Annabelle Comes Home success and McKenna Grace’s casting in several franchises, it wouldn’t be surprising.
