What were moral reasons for avoiding annabelle? I never heard about the movie until your comment.

It's loosely based on the lies of grifters Ed and Lorraine Warren. I have a strong aversion to anything dealing with them.

To be fair, I watched The Conjuring before I knew about their connection and didn't like it. It wasn't my style and I can't imagine the other films in that universe are either. And I don't judge others for not caring that they were involved, especially since they're both dead now.
