There’s something truly terrifying about a creepy doll that you just feel has some sort of sinister purpose, or that somehow it can see deep into your soul, and the infamous Annabelle is the stuff of nightmares.Annabelle Comes Homeis the third installment of the hugely successfulAnnabellefilms, set inThe Conjuringuniverse, and this one tells the story of what happened when demonologists Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) brought the doll home to place it behind sacred and blessed glass in the locked artifacts room in their home, only to have it awaken evil spirits that set their sights on the Warrens’ young daughter Judy (Mckenna Grace).
On August 19, 2025, Collider (along with a handful of other online outlets) was invited to the set on the Warner Bros. Studios lot in Burbank, Calif., to tour some of the sets and watchGary Daubermantake the helm of his first feature as a director, after having previously written the scripts forAnnabelle,Annabelle: CreationandThe Nun. While there, we got to see just how detailed the interior of the two-story Warren house is, with its front porch and back patio, garage, full kitchen cupboards that will likely never even be opened, and skylights even though it’s indoors on a soundstage. We also got to explore the artifacts room, seen in previous films, that Annabelle calls home and that’s filled with so many items, on every shelf and in every corner, before taking a picture with the encased doll for a haunting souvenir.
During our time on set, we did interviews with some of the cast and creative team, who talked about the experience of shooting a horror film set in a different time period with a creepy doll at the center of it. Here is a collection of 20 things that we learned about the production, during our visit to the set ofAnnabelle Comes Home, out in theaters on June 28th.
