Beware of Annabelle

Today I thought I would do a movie review and write about the struggles of why I never want to see a scary movie again. This past Friday I went to go see the movie Annabelle for a second time. Annabelle was previously shown in the movie, The Conjuring, of where she was shown in a glass container that sounds to never open under any circumstances. Annabelle told the story of how she ended up going to live in the glass container. I guess you can say seeing it once just wasn't enough, but it really wasn't my choice. I love scary movies but whenever you're watching them in a movie theater I always feel that something is going to come up from under me and drag me just like the movies show. This time the movie was about a doll who was possessed and when I got home I made sure there were no dolls in my house. I have this one doll in my closet and I've had it since I was a little girl but now it's sitting in my attic. When I saw the movie Annabelle for the first time I was mostly covering my face with my hands looking through the cracks of my fingers to see what was happening. I also made sure my feet never touched the ground. Throughout the entire movie I was on edge and couldn't relax. Right when you thought the scary part was over something would pop up and I would jump out of my seat. Seriously who would buy a doll that even looked like that. It's hideous and not to mention really dirty. At the end of the movie it gave the background of where the doll was know and how Ed and Lorraine Warren had it kept in a glass box in their house. After seeing the movie I went home and stayed in my room for most of the night scared of anything possibly attacking me. I might have been a little over dramatic but that stuff freaks me out. About a week later my other friend told me that she wanted me to see Annabelle with her and I couldn't say no so we went to see it and the second time was a little better but still scary. There were parts where I knew what was going to happen but sometimes I would be off on the timing. When I got home that night I decided to do some research on the doll and it said that she was now locked up and a priest would come by and bless the glass case with Annabelle in it twice a month. The reason they blessed the doll is because there was some sort of entity latching itself onto the doll and didn't want to leave. Something that stood out to me were some of the stories of where Annabelle was behind the death and injuries of others.
 The people who were keeping Annabelle under their supervision, Ed and Lorraine Warren, had many other items kept in their household that were demonic. They kept all of these items in a room that was locked off from the rest of their house. When people found out about this they wanted to see the doll for themselves. Naturally the Warren's allowed people to come and visit their home and see the room full of demonic items. People took pictures with the items, but the one thing people were told not to mess with was Annabelle. The Warren's made it clear that the doll was pure evil even though it may not have looked like it. After all she was only a Raggedy Ann doll. Who would have ever thought something so innocent looking could turn out to be pure evil. One day a couple came by to see the Warren's home. It was a boyfriend and his girlfriend and when they got there the boyfriend started knocking on the case Annabelle was in a said things of how it wasn't evil and that if she could scratch people why she just didn't scratch him. The couple was asked to leave and on their way home they were laughing about what happened and then all of a sudden the boyfriends lost control of his motorcycle and had a head on collision with a tree. The boyfriend died instantly and the girlfriend was in the hospital for a year.  Another incident was when a priest came by to bless the doll and when he got their he took Annabelle out of her case and threw her into the rocking chair saying she was just a doll and was powerless. Lorraine asked the priest to call her when she got home to back sure he was safe. When the priest called Lorraine he told her about the fatal accident he was almost in. He had a brush with death. Now you can see why dolls freak me out. Though for those people that like scary movies, I know you'll love Annabelle.
