“Some didn't have the most elementary notion of how to behave,” theater owner Didier Tarizzo told The Times. “They were throwing popcorn and talking at the top of their voices or walking round. It's not up to me to teach young people how to respect the law. What worried me was that a cinemagoer irritated by all the noise could have had a go at an adolescent.”
The true story behind the doll centers around a mother who purchased an antique Ragged Ann Doll from a hobby store. The doll was a present for her daughter Donna. A few days later very strange and creepy things started to happen. The doll appeared to move on its own. Donna would find the doll in a completely different room from which they had left it.
Eventually, the family discovered the doll was possessed by a demon after it started harming those in the apartment. A family stepped in and secured the doll in a case to prevent Annabelle from harming anyone.
