March 16 (UPI) -- Warner Bros. Pictures has released a teaser for Annabelle Comes Home and announced the the third chapter in its Annabelle horror movie series will open in theaters on June 28.

Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprise their roles as the franchise's paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in the film.
