A menacing presence took over Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Times Square Odditorium last night. That paranormal habitation was felt by Shockya, as we were generously given the opportunity to to attend a press preview of the supernatural invasion of the popular New York City-based museum.

A group of 13 Annabelle dolls from New Line Cinema‘s upcoming horror prequel, ‘Annabelle: Creation,’ which were created by the award winning Mezco Toyz, took over the popular 42nd Street landmark, which is the largest Ripley’s museum attraction in North America. The Annabelles attempted to hide amongst the Odditorium’s collection of over 500 unusual artifacts from all over the world, as well as within its unique interactive exhibits.

All visitors who attended the scavenger hunt at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in Times Square yesterday received a special map of the museum. Those who located all 13 of Annabelle’s hiding places throughout the Odditourium received ‘Annabelle: Creation’ prizes from New Line Cinemas and Warner Brothers, including tickets to attend a preview screening of the supernatural drama.
