The prequel film opens in the mid - 40 , with a wordless credit episode depicting the creation of the doll by toymaker Samuel Mullins ( Anthony LaPaglia ) . It ’s the first of a limited edition run by Mullins , and also the last after cataclysm strikes the family .
Samuel and his wife Esther ( Mirando Otto ) have a girl whom they lovingly call Bee ( their " engaged bee " ) , who is lamentably run down by a car and killed in a freak accident near their home . Fast forward 12 years , and the Mullins have opened their home up to six orphan girls and a nun buoy , having never had any more children , and to hear and atone for the guilt they finger for causing the diabolical self-possession of the wench .
After the death of Bee - whose genuine name is Annabelle - the parents are get out distraught . They desire to see their little daughter again and beg to anything and everything for the opportunity to be reunify - even to Satan . Well , someone downstairs hear their prayers and make believe to be their daughter in guild to find a way to stay and raven on inexperienced person souls on Earth . The Ram demon manipulates them both , Esther particularly , by using Bee ’s range of a function to persuade the couple to let it apply the dame as an anchor to stay in their world . They fit , but shortly realize that the little girl running around their household is not their daughter , and when Esther confronts it she is attacked and has an oculus rack out .
The Mullins get in touch with the Catholic church to exorcise the monster , but realize that it is too powerful to separate from the chick , so instead they engage it in the W.C. of Bee ’s elbow room , which is trace with " the word of God " - a.k.a . pages from the Word . For 12 year , the demonic dame sits dormant in their menage , with the couple becoming more reclusive and Esther not leaving the house after her tone-beginning . It ’s only when the Mullins let the orphan into their place to live that the evil within the Annabelle dame wake up , sensing the young souls enter , and begins targeting the most vulnerable , Janis ( Talitha Bateman ) , a infantile paralysis - stricken young young lady who involve crutches . No thanks to Sister Charlotte ( Stephanie Sigman ) , the other girls and the Mullins , the demon finally takes Janis ' soul and her body becomes own by the malign liveliness .
By the end of the movie , Sister Charlotte and the girls manage to survive , but the ogre Janis has break away . The doll is take by the cop instead as evidence and put in the automobile trunk of their car by the little girl , who symbolically slam the lid keep out on it . While they find another orphanhood , Janis has ended up in another children ’s home , but is now conk out by the name Annabelle . She becomes the adopted daughter of the Higgins ( Kerry O’Malley and Brian Howe ) , which finallyconnects the originalAnnabellewith this prequel . The demonic Janis is the Annabelle Higgins who mutilate her parents in their family domicile , next to the house of Mia and John Form ( Annabelle Wallis and Ward Horton ) , who coincidently end up with the Annabelle doll .
As screenwriter for bothAnnabelleandAnnabelle : institution , it seems Gary Dauberman has more or less retconned the mythology of the satanic doll from the original film . The significance inAnnabelleis that the ritual sacrifice made by Anabelle Higgins ( by slit her throat and letting her bloodline drip mould on the bird ) caused the Ram demon to enter the doll , but the prequel make it clear that the Ram demon was always inside of Janis / Annabelle and plainly used the doll as a conduit again after she vote down herself . The prequel also contradicts the identity of the seven - twelvemonth - former ghost seen inAnnabelle , say to be Annabelle Higgins , and the backstory of the doll laid out inThe Conjuring .
The doll comes into the possession of demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren ( Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga ) from two nursing student and their manful ally . Like the Mullins , the roommates say they were asked by the ghost Annabelle - who they are told died on the belongings by a psychic - to be allowed to have the doll so she could amaze around . The nurse ' story is actually based on the " dependable " story of Annabelle the doll , which was really of the Raggedy Ann variety and give to a nursing student by her female parent in 1970 ( Side Note : A nod to this story is volunteer in Annabelle : Creation when the Higgins give Janis / Annabelle a Raggedy Ann chick that await just like the one of traditional knowledge ) . After the dame began moving around and leaving lambskin notes , she called in a metier who told them the skirt was inhabited by the liveliness of a utter little girl diagnose " Annabelle Higgins . "
Annabelle : Creationhas retconned this idea , as we now have sex that Annabelle Higgins did n’t die in that dimension and that the Ram fiend was already using the doll as a conduit . However , the producers could excuse away the seven - year - old ghost ’s show inAnnabelleand observe inThe Conjuringby suggest that the devil is actually continuing to use the frontal of Annabelle Mullins which others have incorrectly take on is Annabelle Higgins . Themid - credit scene also suggests that the doll may not be completely without evilwithout the Ram daemon either .
Now that we do it the origins of the Annabelle skirt , it does n’t mean it might not pop again in succeeding episode ofThe Conjuringfranchise and with the illustrious demonic conical buoy making a abbreviated appearing inAnnabelle : conception , the sinister doll may come back the favour in 2018’sThe Nuntoo .
