A fierce storm batters the old Warren house, each thunderclap vibrating through the floorboards. Inside, ten-year-old you wakes violently, an unseen force wrenching him from his bed. The hallway stretches dark and empty, his parents nowhere to be found. A cold dread propels him down the stairs toward the forbidden study where his father keeps cursed relics. He stumbles back up as the lights suddenly fail, plunging everything into black. A rope squeaks overhead. Now he's trapped behind a locked door, face-to-face with the Annabelle doll rocking rhythmically in a chair, its ragged wheeze filling the thick air. His screams are met by his grandmother's desperate voice shouting from the other side of the wood.
