  • The opening Annabelle scene is praised for establishing the horror premise. — Bill Simmons
  • The sisters sensing someone by the door and Bathsheba appearing atop the dresser are nominated. — Bill Simmons
  • “Look what you made me do,” Lorraine’s daughter entering the artifact room and the climactic exorcism are additional candidates; the preferred sustained stretch begins with Rory’s hiding place and Lorraine falling into the basement. — Bill Simmons
  • Nancy being dragged by her hair is another preference, especially the shot of her flying across the room.
  • The clapping game is a separate favorite and the first truly frightening moment for that participant. — Sean Fennessey
