PLOT
In 1943, dollmaker Samuel Mullins and his wife Esther grieve for the loss of their five-year-old daughter Annabelle, who died after she was run over by a passing car. An unknown entity, which the couple believes to be their daughter's spirit, convinces them to transfer its essence into one of Samuel's crafted porcelain dolls. Their elation soon turns to anguish when the Mullins realize they have attracted a demon looking for a human host.
They take the doll to Bee's room and lock it in a closet wallpapered with pages from the Bible before hiring priests to bless both the room and the house.
Twelve years later in 1955, the Mullins open their home to provide shelter for Sister Charlotte and six girls left homeless by the closing of their orphanage. That first night, Janice, a young orphan crippled by polio, awakens and sneaks into Bee's bedroom, which has mysteriously become unlocked. She finds a key for Bee's closet and unlocks it, unwittingly releasing the demon, who begins to terrorize the girls, displaying a special interest in Janice.
On the second night, the demon continues to torment Janice, who attempts to get away using a chair-lift. Janice is left severely injured when caught by the demon and thrown from the second floor landing to the first floor. The next day, Janice, now restricted to a wheel-chair, is dragged into a shed. The demon, taking Bee's form, successfully possesses her. One of the other orphans, Janice's best friend Linda, notices changes in her behaviour and admits to Samuel that Janice had snuck into Bee's room and found the doll two nights prior.
Sister Charlotte speaks with the disfigured Esther, who is confined to her bedroom, having had her left eye gouged out by the demon during their initial encounter twelve years earlier. Esther confesses to the nun the truth behind the doll and the hauntings within their home. Sister Charlotte grows increasingly alarmed that the demon will further victimize the girls.
After viciously murdering the Mullins, the demon attacks Sister Charlotte as she attempts to get the girls out of the house. The possessed Janice continues her pursuit of Linda, who hides in Bee's room. Sister Charlotte arrives to stop Janice and locks the girl and the doll in the closet. The next day, police arrive to search the house and its surroundings and find only the doll in the bedroom closet, which they remove as evidence. Janice has escaped through a hole in the closet wall and relocates to an orphanage. She now goes by the name Annabelle and is adopted by the Higgin's family.
Twelve years later, in 1967. Annabelle forms a Satanic cult, the Disciples of the Ram, with her boyfriend. One night, they murder her adoptive parents in their bedroom, which catches the attention of their next door neighbours, the Forms, setting off the events of the original Annabelle film.
