The young Forms family thought they moved away from the horror of their past, but they unknowingly packed it with them. A prequel spin-off to The Conjuring, Annabelle hits theaters later this week, and two new B-roll videos show the filming of the Forms’ desperate meeting with Father Perez, the crafting of a classic stormy night atmosphere, setting up a baby carriage / garbage truck collision, and more.

Over 80,000 fans attended Canada’s 20th annual Fan Expo convention in Toronto, Ontario. The highly anticipated release of New Line Cinema's Annabelle was showcased within the Rue Morgue Magazine "Festival of Fear" area, where fans posed next to what they thought was merely an installation of a "possessed" doll.

“I don’t think what you’re experiencing is a ghost.” No, the force haunting the Forms family is much more malevolent, and it has followed them to their new home via a doll. Annabelle is a spin-off of James Wan’s The Conjuring, and the film’s new trailer shows some of the horrors viewers can expect to experience upon its October release.
From Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, Annabelle is set to be released on October 3rd.

College secret societies need not fear "The Skulls", an inane conspiracy thriller that grows more ridiculous by the minute.
This stone-faced clunker from director Rob Cohen ("The Rat Pack") and screenwriter John Pogue ("U.S. Marshals") is so full of unbelievable plotting and flimsy cardboard characters uttering some of the dumbest dialogue of the new millennium that a more apt title would have been "The Numbskulls".
While the presence of "Dawson's Creek" resident Joshua Jackson could initially attract a portion of the picture's targeted teen audience, that demo will probably prove savvy enough to steer clear. It might, however, be rediscovered on video by those looking for a good howl.
Jackson is all somber earnestness as Luke McNamara, an Ivy League student who's at first thrilled to have been inducted into the highly selective Skulls organization. After all, membership certainly has its rewards, including new watches (which handily cover that freshly branded skull on new recruits' wrists), snazzy cars and a tax-free $20,000 deposit in your bank account -- not to mention a guaranteed entree into law school.
But that elation comes crashing down when Luke's best buddy and roommate Will Beckford (Hill Harper) turns up dead after poking around the Skulls' not-so-secret gathering place, and Luke's assigned Skull "soulmate" Caleb Mandrake (Paul Walker) is high on the suspect list.
Bringing the true perpetrator to justice, however, is a tricky matter, given the presence of Caleb's father Litten Mandrake (Craig T. Nelson), a prominent judge, and Ames Levritt (William Petersen) a senator, who both happen to be card-carrying Skulls and are very protective of their clandestine turf. Undaunted, Luke perseveres with the active support of his girlfriend, Chloe (Leslie Bibb), and right eventually wins out. Oh, and did we mention the part about challenging Caleb to a good old-fashioned gun duel?
Perhaps writer Pogue should have been more concerned about grounding his characters in any kind of tangible reality rather than coming up with all those eccentric names. But in addition to all the lapses in logic and truly boneheaded dialogue, the uniformly weak performances only worsen matters.
Remaining blissfully oblivous to it all is director Cohen, who's too preoccupied with all the faux-"Matrix" lighting cues. Between those and production designer Bob Ziembicki's over-the-top secret society set pieces, "The Skulls" admittedly has a unique method of indoctrination: If you make it through all 107 minutes without giggling, you're in.
