Warner Bros. released an official trailer for Annabelle: Creation this past weekend. The movie is the sequel to 2014’s Annabelle, which is a spinoff of the horror hit The Conjuring.

The sequel is directed by David F. Sandberg, whose feature debut was last year’s surprise hit Lights Out, a movie which cost under $5 million to make and ended up bringing in nearly $150 million worldwide at the box office. The screenplay was written by Gary Dauberman, who also penned the first movie and worked on the scripts for the upcoming movie adaptation of Stephen King’s IT and another Conjuring spinoff, next year’s The Nun. Starring in the movie is Miranda Otto, Anthony LaPaglia, Stephanie Sigman, Talitha Bateman, Lulu Wilson, Philippa Coulthard, Lou Lou Safran, Samara Lee, and Tayler Buck.

James Wan‘s The Conjuring expanded its story with its first spinoff Annabelle. The film did not redefine the horror genre the same way that The Conjuring did, but it was still enough of a success to warrant a sequel. Now, Warner Bros. is giving us a first look at Annabelle 2 from director David F. Sandberg. That name may sound familiar to you if you recently watched Lights Out, which was also produced by Wan. That film, though relatively small, got some high praise for being a frightful experience.
