    I think the podcast is an excellent way for Dead Meat to cover horror movies that don't necessarily have a high kill count. Keep it up!!!

  • @AndrewOfHorror
    @AndrewOfHorror 6 років тому +294

    Six days. That's how long it took to write this movie. Dauberman practically bragged about it. Maybe he should have waited to see how it was received before he did?

    • @hanonondricek411
      @hanonondricek411 6 років тому +16

      I guess I could fathom the situation where a studio throws a lot of money at an established writer to crank out a cash-in screenplay and doesn't want to spend time or money on rewrites or script development - perhaps Dauberman is *sardonically* bragging about it? Conversely, once a script is purchased by a studio, the screenwriter might not get any say in the direction it goes and there may have been a lot of input by unskilled writers or other production personnel. What he wrote in six days _might_ not have been what ended up onscreen, for better or worse. Cranking out a first draft screenplay in six days _is_ an accomplishment.

    • @AndrewOfHorror
      @AndrewOfHorror 6 років тому +8

      FWIW, one of the only big differences between the movie we got and one of the earlier drafts floating around out there was that the character played by Alfre Woodard was absent(which necessitates a different ending, natch).
      I just assumed that, like you suggested, WB/NL wanted to do it quick 'n' dirty instead of developing it further.

    Chelsea's explanation for the doll is correct, she is a collector and that specific doll belongs to a three doll collection, a blonde doll, a black doll and then the red head doll and the red head was really popular in its time so it's hard to find, which is why she was so receptive to having the doll

    And in the Conjuring, yes, the medium says it is "Annabelle possessing the doll" but Lorraine also tell them that the demon tricked them to think it was a little girl, but it was an inhuman spirit all along.
    In the Conjuring lore we have seen demons manipulating human spirits to deceive the victims...but it is the demons all the time.

    ***SPOILERS FOR ANNABELLE AND ANNABELLE:CREATION***
    Ok so to anyone who is confused about Annabelle but doesn't want to watch the movies here is an explanation. Annabelle was a girl killed in a car accident years before the movies. The parents prayed to a deity to bring their daughter back and allowed what they thought was their daughter to enter the doll, but it turned out to be the horned demon. The demon attacked the mom so the dad called the church. They blessed the doll, put scriptures in a closet and stuck the doll in there. Years later, in an act that they thought would help them repent, the parents accepted orphans and a nun into their home. Unfortunately the demon took a liking to one of the girls who was crippled from polio. The girl is eventually possessed by the demon and she kills the original parents. The demon-possessed girl attacks the other orphans but is locked in the closet while the other girls escape. A police investigation reveals that the demon-possessed girl escaped, and now the doll is just a doll since the demon is no longer inside of it. The demon girl runs away to an orphanage in Santa Monica where she coins herself the name Annabelle and gets adopted by the Higgins, who are the neighbors in Annabelle. Years later, still demon possessed Annabelle comes back, kills her parents, and commits suicide, letting her blood go back into the doll, thus returning the demon into the doll. Thus demon in the doll was created. The End.

    I'm rewatching and I now know some stuff about the real Annabelle case. Higgins is a coincidence as the real case some random medium told the nursing students that the doll was haunted by a dead spirit of a little girl named Annabelle Higgins, which is why the doll was named that. The Warren's then got involved and said it was a demon in the doll and was trying to possess one of the girls. I think this movie wanted to have cake and eat it cause they make it a girl who was possessed by a demon then later k!lls herself and demon moves to the door. It doesn't work in this movie

  • @alexanderorcutt752

    So I totally agree with all your critiques on Evelyn's character in this movie. They truly did her dirty, and her sacrifice at the end made no sense and made for a terrible ending. However, I think the fact that Annabelle wasn't running around and moving on her own was intentional and genius. It was similar to Blair Witch in the way that we didn't see her actually move (though we did in fact see the doll of course). This kept the scarier stuff up to the viewers' imaginations, which is often scarier than what they could portray in the film. I think they did a great job with the shots of Annabelle too. I also think the whole "why is Annabelle back? I think we will just keep her now" was Annabelle temporarily puppeteering Mia as she held the possessed Annabelle doll, convincing her she wants to keep the doll in her home and in Leah's room. This didn't seem like a dumb moment, and John was already portrayed as a supportive husband, so who is he to argue with his traumatized wife wanting to keep a doll he gifted her, a rare one she has clearly wanted forever? I did not see that as a plot hole personally. As for Father Perez? I am indifferent towards him, which I suppose is not a good thing. His role was very stereotypical of a priest in a movie involving possession. He still served his purpose, though the hospital visit interaction with John was very stupid on John's part; I definitely agree with you on that. I think the people at the start and end of the movie were there to connect Annabelle to the Conjuring, and to set it up for Annabelle sequels (I just watched this movie for the first time today, so I have yet to see the sequels, but I presume they must be related). At the very least, it implies that Annabelle lives on in other people's lives. While the scares were limited, I thought it was a scarier horror movie than a lot of others. Having Annabelle never move and just look creepy in long shots reminded me of the paranormal activity scares where you are expecting and waiting for a jump scare that never comes, which is scarier than Chucky's movies in my opinion (though I am a big fan of Child's Play 1-3). Also, why do you hate the Nun so much? I haven't seen it yet and don't know where to find it right now.

    I used to live in an old two family home and it was owned by this nice lady named Liz. She was renting out the bottom home and this happened in 2009, I remember because my brother had just been born, and we moved in cause it was pretty cheap. She had to move something out of my soon to be room.
    It was over 100 different dolls. Some came up to my waist, others were tiny and fit in my palm... I felt so nervous to sleep in that room even when all the dolls were gone...
    So many strange things happened.
    My radio that was always unplugged(it never worked so I kept it out as decoration) turned on in the middle of the night.
    My door would randomly open and close, but I was nowhere near an open window. My bedroom was down a hall.
    So much more happened but I repressed it since some other shit went down while we were there, but those are the two I remember the most..

  • @drewby7105
    @drewby7105 6 років тому +19

    So the whole is the demon or ghost in the doll is answered in the beginning of the conjuring, the warrens are talking to the nurses and the nurses say that a spirit was lonely in the doll and asked them to welcome the spirit into there home and they said yes, the warrens than figure out that they are dealing with a demon and not a ghost of a girl. So i believe that Annabelle Higgins used the symbol on the wall and blood in the doll to conjure the demon, so Annabelle is dead and not a ghost but the demon uses the doll too follow the family and torment them, the demon uses the form of Annabelle Higgins to scare the wife and torment her. So I believe every paranormal event is the demon messing with the family and not a ghost. It’s kind of lame that you have to watch the conjuring for that to be completely summed up.

    • @pamelagatoloai
      @pamelagatoloai 6 років тому +3

      ZlevelUp TimeZ The demon didn’t actually “posses” the doll because Demons can’t posses things they can only posses humans. The demon used the doll as a “Conduit” which meant the Demon would be moving the doll around and making it seem like the doll is possessed just so it can distract the humans and he can posses them.

    • @drewby7105
      @drewby7105 6 років тому

      Larebear57 ! Exactly, that’s why when the doll “moves” it shows the demon holding it, Annabelle Higgins used her family to conjure the Demon, also does anyone know the true story? I believe the nurses part and moving around causing mischief and being a conduit for a demon is the “true” story, but do the warrens have any idea how the raggedy Ann doll happened to become a conduit? Because I know the cult murders in this movie are not real and are taken from the Manson murders.

    • @Nekobaby
      @Nekobaby 5 років тому +1

      Isn't it a pretty standard trope in a lot of horror movies that during a seance or use of an Ouija board that a demon or such pretends to be someone else and the protags don't find out till later or shit starts going down? Which is a good explanation to why the girls at the end think it's Annabelle Higgins, cause the psychic/spiritualist person they went to was also tricked? I mean, yes, the Conjuring totally show this same thing going down, but I'm pretty sure similar things have gone down in older films than this.

    I love watching these after all the others came out. Now we know.
    SPOILERS
    Real Annabelle's parents made a deal with a demon accidentally to see their daughter who died in a car accident. The deal was for their daughters spirit to inhabit a handmade doll.
    They found out it was a demon. And locked it away.
    But the nub orphan school for girls came. And one girl let the Annabelle doll lose. Where the girl became possessed. Making another human Annabelle. Who was later adopted by the Sharon's who were killed in THIS Annabelle. The Manson killer who says "I like your dolls" is the possessed kid Annabelle. Which is why her blood then possessed that doll. Lots of body transitions.
