Check Out these Awesome ‘Annabelle: Creation’ Promotional Items!
Annabelle: Creation releases this week, and to celebrate Warner Bros. sent over a small wooden box from the Mullins Toy Company filled with some pretty cool promotional items!
First up we have the box itself. It’s similar to the box that the Annabelle doll is placed in to be shipped away when its finished by Bee’s father, Samuel Mullins. You can see the real thing featured in the first trailer for the movie, but if you want a ton of good information on it, David F. Sandberg posted a commentary on his YouTube channel.
Inside we have three items. A bell keychain, a bundle of sage and a Saint Benedict Medal. Saint Benedict was known as “The Demon Chaser” and there’s a little prayer printed on the medal’s card back. It reads, “May the holy Cross be my light, Let not the dragon be my guide. Begone, Satan! Suggest not vain things to me. Evil is the cup thou offers; Drink thou thine own poison. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Saint Benedict, Protect Us.”
The bell is a reference to a character in the film, but I won’t spoil its use. The sage is a handy tool to use while chanting Saint Benedict’s prayer.
We really liked Annabelle: Creation [review] which releases this Friday. We said it “surpasses the first Annabelle movie in nearly every way.”
If you check it out, make sure you stick around for the post-credits scene!
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
