<P> On July 7, 2017, Warner Bros., in conjunction with James Wan, announced the "My Annabelle Creation" competition as promotion for the then - upcoming film Annabelle: Creation . Participants of the competition were to shoot a short film which would "feel like (it) could exist within the established Conjuring world", with the winning films' directors having their films made canonical to the chronology of the series and winning a trip to Los Angeles to meet with David F. Sandberg, the director of Annabelle: Creation . The entry deadline was July 27, 2017 . On August 17, 2017, the United States - based winner of the competition was announced to be Julian Terry for his short film The Nurse . Just under 2 minutes in length and filmed over four days, the film revolves around a bandaged and temporarily blind girl named Emily (Aria Walters) who attempts to elude the eponymous Demon Nurse (Hannah Palazzi). Separate competition winners will be selected from Mexico and the United Kingdom . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Characters </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> The Conjuring series </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Annabelle series </Th> <Th> Other films </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> The Conjuring (2013) </Th> <Th> The Conjuring 2 (2016) </Th> <Th> Annabelle (2014) </Th> <Th> Annabelle: Creation (2017) </Th> <Th> The Nun (2018) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Ed Warren </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> Patrick Wilson </Td> <Td> Patrick Wilson </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Lorraine Warren </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> Vera Farmiga </Td> <Td_colspan="3"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Annabelle </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> Appeared </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Tree O'Toole </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Keira Daniels </Td> <Td> Samara Lee </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Joseph Bishara </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Drew Thomas </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> Shannon Kook </Td> <Td_colspan="3"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Judy Warren </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> Sterling Jerins </Td> <Td_colspan="3"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Father Gordon </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> Steve Coulter </Td> <Td_colspan="3"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Bathsheba Mother Sheba Demon </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> Joseph Bishara </Td> <Td> Joseph Bishara </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Valak Demon Nun </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> Bonnie Aarons </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Bonnie Aarons </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Debbie </Th> <Td> Morganna Bridgers </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Morganna Bridgers </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Camilla </Th> <Td> Amy Tipton </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Amy Tipton </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Rick </Th> <Td> Zach Pappas </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Zach Pappas </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Mia Form </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Annabelle Wallis </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> John Form </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Ward Horton </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Pete Higgins </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Brian Howe </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Sharon Higgins </Th> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Kerry O'Malley </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Characters </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> The Conjuring series </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Annabelle series </Th> <Th> Other films </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> The Conjuring (2013) </Th> <Th> The Conjuring 2 (2016) </Th> <Th> Annabelle (2014) </Th> <Th> Annabelle: Creation (2017) </Th> <Th> The Nun (2018) </Th> </Tr>
